    Seems a little much for 33's? Idk I'm not really sure much about re gearing but usually from what I've seen 35's and up use 4.56. I could be wrong lol

    :spy: Might think about 35's soon too hehe. But I'd rather over gear and have the ability to move up in tire size than be under geared if I do move up.

    Alright so I got home from work early and put the bumper on and it all worked out great. I added some door trim to the cut fenders for a factory look and I'm pleased with the way it all turned out. I am also relocating the back up camera close to where the hitch receiver is. 98% finished at this point. Very happy with it. Cost me about $185 to build and I'm pleased.

    Hahaha granted it's not as nice as some of the big name companies but I didn't pay $2000 for it. So I'm stoked, about 2-3 weeks to build and $185.

    I'll put the work in. Plus the pride in something you built is usually worth more than the hours it took to get there...

    Hahaha thanks brother! I'll get right on it!

    Hey man that means a lot I really appreciate that. You know it's a little to get used to because obviously the lines don't quite line up anymore but at least I can see behind me nice and clearly so that's a huge plus for me! If you need to get into a tight parking spot or need to back up in a tight spot on a trail then it's there for you. So to answer that questions, I think it's the best place for it to go as of now. I don't have it mounted down yet, I'll probably play with a couple other spots

    Hahaha thanks brother, I really appreciate the kind words dude. I'm just stoked that it turned out how it did and I only had to spend about $185 on it. I'm happy with it man!

    Yea man I'm not planning on spending that much on my front tube when I build that but I'm going to incorporate a front skid into the bumper as well cost for metal and beer I'm projecting at about 75 bux and between that and fiberglass then I have to get me some of your infamous sliders
