That means body lift. Since there are no relocation brackets in production to move a brush guard up three inches, you'll have to lose it once it's installed, huh? Think you can get anything by us? :poke:

Off-topic: Ohno, i wasnt alone. We just came to find the hard way that the jeep grand cherokee who join me on my adventure (it was his trail) didnt have any recovery points, front or rear.

We were on a riverbank and i managed to find a sink hole. Got suckd down, very quickly. My driverside window was even with the mud and my passenger-side tires were just barely touchin ground. My frame got sucked in as well. If my frame didnt get suckd i would had flipped. i had to crawl in and out Dukes-of-Hazard style. Got pulled so deep, my driverside tires were below sea-level and i was just splashin in water on that side. It was bad, i was scared. But im okay now :excited:

Back on track. Mario you better be there :viking: Or else!!
