Paradise Blue Metallic Build

Check out 4xInnovations plate bumpers. I think they also do 5% for TW members

 

I was looking at the 4x Innovations bumper before I purchased an ARB.

 

Couple of updates
Installed a new odyssey extreme battery today, gonna use the old battery to power some auxiliary things when camping.

I ended up going with a ARB bumper and bought a 10k synthetic wench that will be here tomorrow. Also picked up a little bed box to hold all my recovery gear.

Decided on some fj blue maxtrax that should be here this week. Also, we finally got our cross bars in the mail for the can-back. Still waiting on PayPal to make a ruling on our tent damage. Hope to be able to use it by our trip on the 16th.

 

Couple of things came in today. Excited to start putting everything on. Still need to make time to install my CB soon.

 

Have fun mounting that bumper, almost as much fun as installing headers...

 

Lol .... is it really that bad? I’m assuming I need to install the wench before mounting it.

 

You will need to install the winch first, and yes, it is that bad. At least it was for me.

 

I know they say any 9500 wench can be used, I hope this 10k will fit fine

 

I went with a Warn M8000, would have liked to have gone bigger though.
I have a Warn XD9000i, but it would not work in the ARB bumper.

 

Well if it does not fit right, I will just drive up to the 4wheel parts warehouse in Cincinnati and exchange it for one that does. I hope I don’t have to do that. Going to try to mount it today.

 

Where'd you order the ARB bumper from?

 

I bought the wench and bumper from 4wheelparts.

 

That's where I got mine too.

 

Just got the truck back from the shop yesterday. Pretty happy except that now with the added weight im rubbing a little. So i will be doing the pinch weld mod tomorrow along with mounting my tent.

 

Bumper looks sweet! Did it come with the turn signals or were those a separate purchase?

 

The turn signals came with the bumper. They had a few issues getting everything to line up and ended up replacing my radiator while they were in there because mine was in terrible shape.

Over the next two days I still have to mount my cross bars, tent, pinch weld mod, install CB radio and mount the high lift in my bed. going to be super busy leading up to our trip this weekend.

 

Looks good!

 

One sep closer to being ready for the trip. Cross bars, tent, fire extinguisher, and high lift mounted.

 

Damn! Your tuck is sick. It has come a long way fast.
I like that high lift mount. What mount is it?

 

Lol thanks man, my wife would say I have a problem. The mount is a loc-rak brand I believe. It works out pretty good.
