    I've always loved the green machine 1st Gens! I'll be 'upgrading' from my cement 3rd Gen to a green 1st Gen later this week! Post your pics.

    I’m ready to replace my front bumper on my rig. I’m debating between TG rock defense or ARB...I like plenty others though. Suggestions?

    That depends on your overall goal. Do you want a winch in the future? I'm not a huge fan of the ARB. I think they're generally too expensive for what you get in performance returns.

    I think I will go with the ARB later this year. I really like the fact it has crushboxes.

    At some point down the road I may add a winch, for now a bumper would be first in the budget.

    Really need to get a new picture since I moved my turn signals in the corner lamps and put rigid pods in the bumper where the turn signals used to be

    I was gonna say, that gap didn't look right.

    My fav color though. Wish I can afford a respray.
    The way the light hits that's green is amazing.

    Like tydeorum said, it is a single cab topper, and came with the truck. I bought it from the original owner, and he said that he got a deal on the cap when new, so he bought it and didnt bother worrying about the gap.

    After 17 Michigan winters, I have no peeling problems. In fact the paint looks fantastic in my opinion.
