I ordered a few things for the Jeep and I finally decided to get them installed! First, I had ordered a Heavy Duty Steering arm and drag link set up from Rugged Ridge It was $ 193.00 with shipping. I got it because I had bent the stock one two years ago at IDTT.
BEFORE //// Notice the bend at the spot were the steering stabilizer bolts on?
The instructions it came with were real easy to follow and I got to the task of breaking the old one loose. I could not get the tie rod ends to let go so, a quick call to Max7 for assistance. He suggested a few taps with a sledge to the steering knuckle and that did the trick. I set the new tie rod and drag link up the same as the old one allowing a little for the bend!
AFTER
Here' the finished product! Big difference in handling both on and off road! I'm very happy with it!

Since I'm no welder, I also ordered a set of custom Flat Fenders for the front of my YJ from C & C Jeep Fab in Phoenix AZ. 623-302-3948 or 602-214-3811. Chris and Chuck hooked me up! They were $325 plus $45 shipping for a total of $370. (Also on ebay and on Craigslist - Phoenix)
They came "Bare Metal" so, I sanded them down, gave'em a coat of primer and then hit them with some Black semi-gloss Rustoleum. I could have had them Powder Coated but I figure that if I scrape or scrach'em up I can pull'em off and touch them up real easy this way. I think they turned out nice!
Cover Plates that go on both sides.
Passenger side on
Drivers side apart / I also ended up cutting the tab on the Poison Spider Rock Sliders off.
Had to cut the inner fender wells out of the stock YJ fenders. Sawzall worked great for that!
They wern't hard to put on, it was a total bolt on application. The hardest part of the whole thing was unbolting all the stuff under the hood like the battery and box, Coolant resivore and washer fluid stuff thats bolted to the inner fender wells! But, I do suggest you have access to a die grinder and a sawzall for sure!
Any questions drop me a "PM" I'd be glad to help!
