2nd home. Spend 75-100 nights /yr there. I could definitely live there full time but wife and work aren’t quite ready for that.

Wild. Haven’t been on here much lately but saw this thread. We are in Queens Grant- about in the middle of you. Love it down there- has shifted my interest from my Jeep to boats a bit.

I was thinking the same thing. I did a little trimming on the front edge but I think I need to cut the flange completely off so it will flex sideways easier. Will mess with it one of these weekends when I have some more free time.

I run the MC2150 as well. Bought it from Gronk on eBay. Came with the adapter plate and pretty decent instructions. I’ve been very happy with it for about 4 years.

Finally had some time to mess mess with the fender flares some more. Decided to pull the passenger side and try the new flare to see how the fitment compared. Same problem-1/8” gap at the front edge. Did some close comparison and realized why the new ones don’t fit. The originals have a...

I couldn’t agree more. Whoever painted my jeep didn’t even take the hood latches off… or the top, among other things. Other than that the paint job is pretty decent. Ridiculous.

Yes. I will check it when I get a chance I did take the old flare and held the new passenger side up as a book match/ mirror image. A little hard to tell in this pic since it’s hard to hold the two back to back against each other and hold the camera but they matched up very close with the...

The marks on the front fender are a PO’s less than great repaint that didn’t quite cover in that area and is gradually failing. Pretty sure it hasn’t been hit- the passenger side profile looks the same, but I could be wrong. I am going to remove the passenger side flare and try installing the...

Yes, that’s the exact kit. The one I replaced cracked from me accidentally leaning on it while working on the engine- it was extremely brittle and once it cracked, other cracks started to form. So no, I don’t think the fender is bent. Do yours pull tight against the fender? Pic of my...

A while back I cracked my front fender flare while leaning over it. I ordered a set of Rugged Ridge flares and today found some garage time to mess around with it. Didn’t go so well- the fit is not good - especially at the front edge. I tried heating the flare in a 130 degree water bath but...

Maybe I missed it in a previous post- what color is that? Looks awesome.

I have not used it. Read some reviews and watched a bunch of online videos. Seemed like a good option. Tempted to test it, but haven’t yet.

I have these in my vehicles, garage and house. https://elementfire.com/. The magnetic mount makes it very jeep friendly

We live in Charlotte. Like it a lot, but eventually looking to get to the coast as I like the salt water. That said, I have a project up in the Mouth of Wilson (VA) / West Jefferson (NC) area- Pretty area- slower and cooler. I’ve always liked Boone as well- good college town vibe.

I have the setup you are talking about T-177, 3.73. But with 33s with a 258. 258 has mc 2100. I love it. Enough pickup for around town (I think the T-177’s lower first gear makes a difference. Will cruise at 65 and hold speed uphill. 70 feels ok too but feels like it’s working a little...
