I like EVERYTHING but the comp cut.
Those front fenders look very nice.
I hate the stock front fenders they come with :puke:

I used to wheel a lot. . .

I like most of it too. Unfortunately, if it were in CA it would be a trailer queen. Too bad. The front flares are bolt on and look great.

Is it really a Rubicon? It looks like they took off the Rubicon rocker protection and put under body sliders on. Hmmm.

I don't mind comp cut rigs but it looks dumb with flares in front. I may comp cut mine some day, but I'd have a flare attached to balance it out and look better.

Plus, if you're going to comp cut, at least move your axle further back 🙄

May be a work in progress. He doesn't have a rear bumper yet either.

What makes you think it has to be a trailer queen?

It would require some truck mud flaps just to have a shot at not getting cited. I know law enforcement may grant some leeway to their peers, but I wouldn't get that benefit. If you drove that jeep through Folsom, you would get stopped and issued a fix it ticket for lack of rear tire coverage.
I saw a CJ-7 on 40"MTR's get cited for this same thing, and he had partial body coverage. This rig has none. To solve his problem, he had to install removable truck mud flaps. It looks lame driving around with them, but I guess is works. In fact, Todd (who had a big YJ) who used to go on a few runs with us was cited for this same issue. I remember his mud flaps because he ripped one off on the trail after forgetting to remove them.

I guess it could just be the Folsom PD who have the problem, and not other areas. Like Keane said, that photo may be a work in progress becuase it has no tail lights, no rear bumper, and no retainer for the fuel filler. I am not in law enforcement, but believe each of those areas would also net the driver a citation here in CA. that jeep is in NY. Even NV would be less strict on these fix it laws than CA.

If I was ever to comp cut my rig, I'd run mud flaps. I would pull them off before I hit the trail. It's pretty easy to do. If I remember right, Todd was being lazy and didn't want to pull them off. Then he got all bent when they were missing embarassed

I think you're right about Todd not pulling them off...
