I just noticed you have some aftermarket bumpstops welded on up front, what brand are they? can you get some close ups?

Nope - they sure look/feel like it though.
I took a wire wheel (air-diegrinder) to them, then did the Rustoleum semi-flat universal - and a special "wheel" clearcoat paint.
Oh - the bumps are Jounce (Icon). They are spendy, and I would have never paid the cost for them if I was building the rig.
I agree the black becoming the norm (my other 2 vehicles are all black - which I've been doing since yr 2000 - before it was "cool"). But the wife asked for me to do this - so whatever makes her happy.

I used the same stuff as I did with the wheels - I think it's pretty new - comes in a nifty can that you can spray at all sorts of angles. Rustoleum Universal. It's a little spendy at $8.00 a can. Then after a few thin coats of that, some Rustoleum "Wheel" clearcoat - it seems extremely durable.
The most important thing to do before painting is prep. I sanded with an orbital and 220grit so the paint will stick. (then by hand in the areas the orbital doesn't get to).

I agree, and will be doing so. I just picked up some 02 tails to throw on too.

Wink Nice!!!

I was watching this on the other board as well, definite steal at that price, I paid almost that much for mine....if I remember right previous owner said the bumper was a Hanson for a Jeep XJ they modded, but I could be wrong...I like it
