    Congrats, you picked the "right" color, lol. You can run down zombies all day and just a light rinse will make it look great.

    ICI is going to be working on bumpers for 3rd Gens later this year. I'm probably going to get the RT bumper for my 2nd gen.

    I have those coilovers okay at 650 lb. but if add winch you will start to feel it starting to bouncing slightly over bridges.You may get away with heavier shocks to absorb bounce but I just went with 700lb Coilovers.

    @CBI Offroad Fab T3 front aluminum bumper is amazing! super light and well built... installed it by myself and could pick it up with one hand. It also has a lot of options for hoops and they can basically customize for any application for instance I needed it wider to accommodate my bushwacker flares...

    This is one hell of a set up!! Very nice! That front bumper is really extended and unique, what brand is that? I am really liking those bars on the side of your truck that connect with the rear bumper, what rear bumper is that? Once again, nice touch!!! You are giving me ideas here for my own set up.

    Thank you for letting me know CBI off road fab. I'm really considering getting bolt fender flares, so it's good to know CBI can accommodate to that.

    yup just tell them you want the same set up as me and they already have the dimensions and whatnot... take a look at my build thread and you can get some better ideas... also I have a full write up on the install so you would have the best of both bumper and directions!

    I just saw your set up... damn!! good stuff!!

    I am very interested in the rear set up with the extra gas tanks and tire.
    Is your camera functional in the rear? Any modification to make your camera work?

    the camera is still functional... you can see directly back and the hitch area but the peripheral view is obviously obstructed a little from the jerry can holder and the spare tire. you can always relocate the camera but honestly its not that important to me...
