    Full Bumper, or Streamline?

    Pretty hard to beat that IMO ^^^^​

    But, the weight savings of slimline is something to consider as well.

    Things are slowly taking shape. I have a lot of work on deck this spring. This list is in no particular order and is mainly for me to keep track of things.

    2. Replace LCA with rebuilt arms using WhiteLine bushings and ProForged ball joints
    3. BAMF LCA Skids, prime/paint/install
    4. Front brakes with EBC Stage III brakes and rotors
    5. Stainless braided brake lines all around
    6. Oil catch can
    7. Install retrofit headlights
    8. DONE - Slee Offroad rear bumper with swing-out
    9. Brute Force Fab plate front bumper, prime/paint/install (waiting for build/delivery)
    10. Relocate spot/flood LED pods to new bumper
    11. Install Rago Fab ditch light brackets and Rigid SS LED pods
    12. Monstaliner on lower half of truck and Bushwackers, color-matched Blue Ribbon Metallic
    13. Install Bushwacker fender flares
    14. OME Dakar extra leafs, U-bolt flip kit and bump stops
    15. Replace failed solenoid on my Bussman setup to re-enable ACC-on accessory power (currently wired for always on)
    16. DONE - Lighted ignition trim ring mod
    17. Hard wire dashcam power
    18. On-board water (5 gallon in-bed tank with pump)

    Ordered myself a Slee Offroad rear bumper with swing-out tire carrier to go with my front bumper. I figure if the tire is going to interfere with the trailer tongue while I'm towing the camper I can always tuck it back underneath or toss it inside the bed. Get to keep the factory hitch and tow rating though. :thumbsup:

    Looks good. Where’d you get that color matched paint? I too also have a BRM.

    Yeah I was thinking of buying their paint but wasn’t too sure if it matches well but it looks like it does.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Dude, your truck is awesome in its own way. We both built 'em the way we wanted them and there's nothing too permanent about either build (yet). Go and change it if you don't like something.
