    Since I am the first, maybe I should get a prize!:D

    Maybe two new D-rings?

    The install is not hard at all.

    Oh, that is a Smittybilt 12K hidden up in there! Works great

    My only issue now is that the alignment shop couldn't align my truck after the install of the 5100 ad eibachs. Really p*sses me off! Now I guess I have to get adjustable UCAs. Plus I get in and my steering wheel is rotated about 45 degrees. D*mn, doesn't anyone take any pride in there work. I wish they would have just let me run the alignment machine!

    Damn. Thanks for the pics though, nice to see just before I install mine. FYI, I read this thread today, saw some LR UCAs have broken. Because of that when I buy UCAs I may very well spend a little more.

    VERY VERY nice! Posted em up on Twitter and you are now our official product photo rig!

    If I didn't know any better I'd say you parked that thing on a golf course for pictures.

    That looks great! I have been watching this since the group buy started and now that I see one installed I know I am going to end up buying this - resistance seems futile.

    How long did it take you? And what winch are you running, T Miller?

    Ill be keeping an eye out for that, it looks very integrated and low profile. For the tab mounting holes that are left exposed on the main bumper could you cut up the lower section and fit it back into place or perhaps mount weather stripping along there to hide the holes? Have you addressed the holes?

    The Tab holes are really only visible if you get very low to look at the front end. Personally I dont mind them and will probably leave them alone, cant speak for others however.

    I think some of that stuff they use around the old tractor seats that would work. It is like a hard plastic that is shaped like a "U". If anyone knows where to source some, I will try it out.

    Did some readjustment of the bumper in the u channels. Cleaned it up and put it in a little more scenic of a shot.

    Enjoy
