You might want to protect those lights. But other than that they look good.

Thanks, the only one I really want to move is the front, the rest actually tucked up really well. Any suggestions of what to do next would be nice to, cause I'm not sure. It sucks being on a tight budget.

No, no HEMI. My future CJ5/7 gets a HEMI. And yea, its the white underbody kit. And it seems like a really well put together kit too.
