Whoo!!!!

I picked up my ARB bumper and OME 3" lift today. It may be a week or two before I can get 'em installed and post up with pics (last two weeks of school). Any advice from those that have been here before me is welcome and appreciated. I'm damn glad to have them. I went through DPG off-road here in Ks. Dirk is a great dude to deal with, he is primarily in the jeep market but could easily expand into the toyota domain.

 

Good to see another member from Wichita! Dirk is a good guy, he goes to church with my brother. Did you make it out to his property in Rose Hill? He's got a cool little "play ground" out there...

Sorry I can't help with your question as I'm still stock...unless you wanted me to put your parts on my rig and "test" them for you until you finish finals

his full width TJ on Dana 60's is beast...

 

I was out there to pick up my parts but havent seen his stuff. I am going through his CCW class on the 22nd since I am now a full resident. I'd love to let you test them, but I'd probably never get them back! I also just heard that my sliders should be here today from Avid, all this is my way-to-make-it-through-my-first-year-out-of-the-Navy present. I'm psyched to get the stuff mounted. where are you at in wichita? Im out west off ridge.
EDIT:- Massive rep to Brandon at AVID Offroad, the guy answered all my questions and kept me well up to date on fab and shipping. If I wasnt going ARB, an Avid bar would be my choice.

 

Sweet!!! Cant wait to see pics after the install!!

 

my sliders got here via fedex just as I was about to take my parts to a buddies, they are sick, but like an idiot, I didnt get any pics. I'll post up soon, gotta study my a$$ off for finals.

 

are you gunna have a winch?

 

Where did you buy the new bumper from and about how much was it, if you don't mind me askin?

 

I got most of my setup from DPG Offroad here in Ks. I was originally going to go through toytec in Co. but DPG gave me a sweet deal for everything. I paid around 800 for the bumper I think.

 

That is a good deal...thats about 200 bucks off

 

Your not kidding thats the best deal i've heard of so far!

 

The winch is coming a bit later, as funds allow. I am looking at a warn m9000i, also Piaa lights, CBI rear bumper, Go-light, recovery kit,snorkel, dual battery setup and 12v outlets in the cab. Maybe a HAM setup for when zombies hit and I have to bail. My initial thought was to get something along the lines of what I drove in the 'ghan (toyota Hilux-up armored and tricked out) but am now looking at a decent overland travel vehicle.
