    Not a full one. It's the one I'm running that group buy for! Can run a winch and it adds a bit of clearance though.

    Plus it looks coool ;)

    On truck list, I think so. Really it's gonna be moving expenses, recover from Europe, then snorkel, winch, lightbar, regear. This will take a long time now :( rent is not cheap

    I got to do that this summer by sleeping on my friends floor for a 30 pack per month. That's how I can afford my two bumpers right now lol.

    Starting my new, much better paying job this month though so we should be doing well.

    Really want some new rear armor but can't justify it with not working in the school year and just having spent a ton on a new bike

    @SixthSnail

    You probably know this, what're the advantages of having like a King or Icon 2.0 bumpstop?

    Haha something suspension related I understand somewhat!!

    I don't know the difference between the brands for their hydro bumps, but what I get from hydros vs rubber is that hydros are somewhat progressive (not sure if that is the correct word). I mean that when they hit, they are soft and get stiffer as they compress making their collision softer and smoother. I also had Timbrens on my Tacoma and really liked them. They were a bit stiffer though.

    I see I see, makes sense. Does it ultimately feel more comfortable when flexing out your suspension? I'm guessing you don't get much more flex out of your suspension though?

    Not any more flex I don't think. They are great for hard bumps when I hit something too hard or wasn't paying enough attention. You don't get that sudden jerk that normal bumps give
