Great looking rig. I am about to install the rough country 4" lift as well and will later order the front longarm upgrade from IRO. I have a set of their sliders. Let us know how the rear bumper turns out, I was going to order both front and rear. I hope to make them out of aluminium.

I've been wanting to build a set of modified Flat land bumpers out of aluminum for a bit now. I want to make them flush with the BW flares since I can't stand the way most bumpers look with these flares. I emailed Flatland and they said they would modify the plans to whatever width I gave them for double the regular price of there plans.

Insanely jealous you live in Traverse City, I have family in the Elk Rapids area and make as many trips up there as possible. Good looking Jeep you have going and I also like the intercooler tucked away on your MX5.

2 things;
1) could you post a straight on shot from the rear, and one from the side(profile) kinda level with the bumper? First one I've seen completed.
2) is that the factory hitch under there still?

Thanks,
Chase

It looks like it sticks out a bit, is there any extra stuff under there you could have cut off and modified the bumper? When I made the bumper for my ZJ I trimmed the crap out of the rear for maximum clearance.
