What's the wheel worth? Professionals can do some pretty impressive repairs but I would guess it's not economical.

Id assume that too. By the time it was welded, re drilled and re finished its just easier to get another one. They are still making them. If it was something rare or hard to get id look to repair.

Ill mount this on the wall or something as a monument to my stupidity.

All good though. I was planning to use the standard wheels most of the time, and just use these for offroad. Ill just ensure i get a replacement before i have any fun.

It doesnt now i "modified" that bottom corner of the bumper. They just touched ever so slightly during turns. An angle grinder with a flapper disc fixed it in a few seconds. I was always planning on an aftermarket bumper anyway

Had the JK serviced today, fitted up a TF front diff hat that I picked up off SBR cheap when they were doing their TF sale a while back.
Found the steering damper bolt had loosened, flogged the steering damper bushing out somewhat......ah, well....the excuse I needed to do the steering damper flip with a new Fox 2.0 damper.
