Nice Gary! I like the stubby bumpers. My Jeep needs a trip to Pete's here soon for control arm bushings and I'm going to have him cut down my warn front bumper. :D

[Meatloaf]

Looks good! I've gotta say those jk's are growing on me

[Cr33p3r]

Looks good Gary! Going to do something matchin out back?

[GaryG]

Decided to switch to a hardtop. Doesn't look a whole lot different but makes a world of difference for interior noise

[Brad]

Looks good! A/C probably works better too.

[Java]

Awesome!! :thumb: I like the JK hardtop better than any of the earlier models because it's modular. Being able to lock it up is nice too!

[GaryG]

Installed my Nemesis Tub Armor, Billy Rockers, and Odyssey fenders yesterday. Left the underside of the rockers bare so I can sand out any gouges I get.

[Chris]

Nice Gary, I like that style, nothing in front of the wheel to get in the way!

[Rob]

Looks good, Gary. Now how about getting it out on a trail? :thumb:

Ya, I've been a slacker. Haven't been on a trail since Moab. Going to Houston this weekend, but could be up for something on the 15th.

[glacierpaul]

Sweet!! Looks good! I am wanting to change fender flares too.

[WDoG]

Very Nice bumper. Won't be hooking that on any rocks. I like the streamlined look!

[MelloYello]

Looks good G. Too clean though. ; )

[ColoJeeper]

Looking good Gary...have fenders ordered for mine, but haven't got them yet. Went with the ones from Ace Engineering, will put up pics when I get them and install.

[Michael4rnr]

Looks good Gary, Like the sliders.

[The StRanger]

Nice Gary, I like that style, nothing in front of the wheel to get in the way!

Thats why I clipped the front corners of my bumper
After spendin the afternoon at CORE with a winch pullin them outa my front tire
Ouch !!!

Nemesis Goodies

So, back in October I got the Billy Rocker kit and Odyssey front flares from Nemesis Industries in Englewood, took a month or so to get the proper weather to paint and install them. I went with satin black for the flares and rocker sides, and left the sliders bare aluminum finished with Shark Hyde and grip tape on the top. finally got them on in December...

For Christmas, my wife got me the Notorious Rear Flares and again it took a couple months to get decent weather to paint and install...

You can sure see the significant clearance gain in the back between the stock fenders and the new flares comparing the December pic to the March pic
I really like the Nemesis stuff, weighs next to nothing and stronger than steel with the bracing they build in. I can stand on anyone of those fenders, no flex at all.

[GaryG]

I see I never mentioned I upgraded to 35" Duratracs on Procomp 7069 flat black wheels in that time frame as well.

[Rob]

Looks like it's ready for Moab, Gary.
