    Probably bout a month or so. Waiting to see more pics of the new ARB designed for 2nd gen. It's seems bulky in the few pics leaked so I like the Heliux one better, but would like to see more pics before I pull the trigger

    99% Heliux..

    Ash is asking me the same question btw. She gave me mod monies for the snorkel for Xmas and once and a while she's like "Where's the snorkel I got you" and I'm like "oh damn shes :stirthepot: for me to get the snorkel!" Lol

    I dont think Cruise Outfitters will stop making the Helux-to-Taco retro kit completely... I, myself been debating on this 2 options.
    Kurk mentioned that if the interest/demand is still there, he can still have/make a few batches of the Helux retro kits. My bet is that the demand for Helux one will be there for a while, maybe even more once the Taco one comes out.

    Yeah I feel for most people it's not needed but it's extra insurance when playing in the pines. It does have it's downsides though that I think Josh and Boyd have pointed out before.

    I want glass eventually so I will need to run something custom like this guy:

    what paint did you use and did you do any prep work or did you just paint right over them.

    also i saw another guy ask this same question in that thread but i didnt see if you responded or not lol kinda in a hurry and idndt want to forget to ask
