Goes well with my BMR K-Member...LOL...Seriously though:
The BMR tubular K-Member is just as strong, if not stronger, that stock and is much lighter. The radiator support as well is equally, or stronger, than stock and is also lighter. With that, BMR makes two versions of the radiator support. One without the swaybar mounts and one with swaybar mounts. I have the one with the sway mounts.

FINALLY had a little time to pull the blower off the car. There were traces of water all the way up to the elbow behind the throttle body. I was ready to take the lower intake off and then the space heater ran out of kerosene, so I called it a day. I've been fighting a cold and low grade fever for a couple of days, so why chance it.... Plus I was lazy today lol. Anyway, thought I'd throw in a couple of pics

Did you weigh the difference between the stock and BMR support? I've thought about going with one of the BMR supports, just hasn't made it to the top of the priority list.

I didn't weight them, but BMR claims it's 8 pounds. You can tell the difference when holding them and 8 pounds might just be spot on.

EDIT:
Couple that with the 18 pound savings with the K-Member for a total of 26 pounds....Not to shabby.

Lol, I thought the first picture of the old guys was them getting together to cut steve's hair.

Looks like everyone's been busy, and it was a nice day for it indeed. I pulled all the brake lines off and drained the system. pretty dirty under there still. I think I'm gonna go back with the paint brush and hit some other areas I missed that are rusty. Twisted two lines completely apart and broke a third trying to get it out. Looks like I'll have to put a few splices into the prebent kit to install one of the lines, it wraps up in the engine bay to the master cylinder, goes to the front of the jeep by the bumper, under the sway bar and over to the other frame rail. I guess it was installed before the body but holy crap, how the hell did they think someone could take that off? I didn't have a choice to leave it in place either because it was the one with the bloody hole in it lol. The kit is on order for 170, all stainless. Shipping should have it here at the end of the week. Thus begins the waiting game.
