Well it has been a long time coming since my YJ got to see any real TLC in the Bling department, But I broke down and made a bunch of strategic purchases to improve ol' squeeky. And for those of you who know me, not much of this is stuff I would buy, I am a die hard don't replace it if it is not broken guy, But I figured why not!
First up is my Warn 9.5 ti winch hippy!
My old front and rear bumpers
New OR Fab front bumper, with my hella's re-mounted
I also added a set of piaa's into the hole that use to hold the frame cover, keep em nice and high up so they too don't fall victem of rocks.
I also added a set of kc slim lites mounted on Polished Stainless windshield mounts BLING BLING
To further the BLING status, I got a set of TJ hood hold downs and made them fit the YJ, took a little grinding, but they are on.
New Rear bumper
And Tire Swing. Believe it or not, I have had that tire for two and a half years, but I always carried it around in the back seat. but... This is made by Garvin industry's and this is one of the best ones I could find. If you have never put a bumper on a YJ it is not easy (TJ's are a little easier cause no rear shackle) But the included the rear cross member boltsin this bracket and you held it up there, tighten it down the break it off, here are some pics of that
I also chose this one cause it works for any lug pattern, and My D44's are 6 lug! also it is a tow rated bumper so I can haul my motorcycle! I have a couple more do-dads to do, like I got Polished Stainless rear hinger cause mine are rusted pretty bad and sag, some back up lights and flush mount LED rears.
