Thanks gitch I am just trying to give back what I get from everyone else on here!
the widow vents when installed correctly are held on like rocks if you get a good brand. the ones on the jimmy have been through hell and back, and hail storms and are still kicking.

Got the body lift done today!!
Half done

The rear complete

And the front

Now I need some bigger tires! I still need to adjust/center the rear bumper and I have a bit of binding in the steering that I need to get sorted out a bit but other than that its good to go. All together it took me about 7 hours to complete so not to bad I don't think. I didn't have to deal with the fan shroud since I have e-fans so that saved some time and I just bent the rear bumper a bit rather than cutting it like the directions say to. I really don't see any need at all to cut it though. I'm happy with it and now onto the next mod

Thanks rich! Now the more I look at it the more I want my rock sliders to hide the frame. Guess I know what I'll be doing next week

That is the only thing I hate about body lifts is the frame showing so much. Hell, I hate how much it shows on the jimmy and it does not have one LOL, personal preference of mine.
