    I agree, 4th gen relentless looks a little bulky. 3rd gen however looks great IMO especially with the aggressive hoops

    Sorry my phone messed up my message...I saw you post about it. I love the look of the "Predator" bumper and the cost is nice. Not sure how much it will cost me to get it welded up though. I'm in between the CBI and Relentless

    Stupid phone...I am eyeballing it

    The price is nice, have to see what the difference is with shipping. Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a welder so I would have to take it somewhere. The "Predator" for the 3rd Gen looks amazing

    That's my top choice as of now. Almost pulled the trigger on the GB but maintenance got in the way. 15% would have been nice though.

    If I could get it welded up for $100 give or take I would still probably come out ahead of the CBI.

    Oh okay. I was like what did I do?? haha

    I really dig my sliders from them. I think Eric is one of the best fabricators based on the welds I've seen. You also skip the wait time with a DIY.

    I'll be getting all my armor from them probably.

    What's a JKU?
    What did you do?
    Damn nice air. Representing the 2nd gens well :thumbsup:
    :facepalm: only @Fenwick1993's and mine aren't running. Everyone else's is :smack:
    How come everyone only gets inner boots? I've only ever torn my outers.

    Shooting and froading in 29 palms this weekend. That's my "new" dodge at the end too. 4X4 with a Cummins 5.9.
    I gotta stop buying vehicles...

    JKU= 4 Door

    My inner boots are puking grease right now. They aren't torn just puked a little grease. I think that is why they get the inner boot so there is more flex on the boot

    My friend would kill you for that. He's a cummins fanboy. I'm surprised he went Suburban. How'd you even drive both vehicles?
    Ah ok. Was thinking it was the stupid Trailcat.

    Maybe its another 2nd vs 3rd gen thing. I completely destroyed my outers

    Had my cousin drive it. We picked it up by magic mountain and drove all the way out to the desert to wheel it.

    TB spray and a second pair of hands is really helpful. Tubing was a pain in the ass to put back on and its easier if someone holds the throttle open for you
    Oh nice. How was it?

    Ah. I should probably take mine over to Toyota after I get it fixed so that I get better steering, but I'd rather break it first. Take real advantage of my freebie

    In other news, Danny apparently wants to see me in a bikini :puke:

    A hairy ass dude in a bikini would be funny for like the first five minutes. The rest of the 30 days would be torture lol
    How'd you do that?
