the bumper is really nice. its BEEF! it takes quite a bit of work to get it to work, but once its in its there to stay.

dave i remember seeing your Red 4 door XJ on Lower 2 on 35s back in 01' - one of the first XJ's i had seen on 35s, also helped you change a shaft that same day in the turdy 35..

lol.. I'm sure it's alright to tell the name... it's not like someone's gonna find it w/o going w/ someone who's been there before... does it start w/ a W? :lol:

Also, how did it drive on the road? Figures you'd get it finished when mine's gone and I'm about to start something a little different....:shaking:
