3rd Gen - CBI Overland skids and T3 Bumpers thread

Steel got my vote

 

You don’t like the rigid sr20?

 

It’s not that I don’t like it. Half of the light bar crapped out on me so I sent it in for service. Been out without it for a month since their service is backed up. So I replaced it with Heretic.

 

With the T3 front bumper short hoop has anyone had issues with Adaptive cruise control and a pro grill? Does the short grill hoop cover the sensor with a pro grill?

 

Did you get the extended flare width on that bumper? it looks like it sticks out slightly further then your stock fender flare.

 

Standard width, it was all flexed out in that pic

 

If i get some aftermarket flares, you think the extended length is a good idea? Not going glass ever.

 

I have no idea on that. I could measure my distance from the fender to the edge of the bumper. That would help you determine if the aftermarket flares would sit flush with the bumper or not.

 

Ah. Truck looks good

 

also wondering about this. I already placed my order but might call and ask to go hoop-less.

 

Im guessing that the rigid and BD lights are a few times more expensive than other brands.

 

Skids arrived this week. I’m gonna cut the bulge off and weld a piece in.

 

.....I've rock crawled in mine...

 

I'm sure we have different takes on rock crawling unless you have some full skidded rig that you don't care about scratching up.

The dclb is as long as my full size work truck, the break-over angle is pretty limited.

 

you'd be amazed what you can conquer in a dclb. oh come on. you live in SoCal! you can crawl to anza borrego or sand canyon joshua tree and big bear and let's not forget cleghorns chute. unless you mall crawl.

 

Love my T3. Wish they made a tow rated BSM compatible high clearance rear bumper....

 

I'm thinking John Bull, if you're north then rubicon & fordyce, stuff like that. I don't do malls.
Earlier when I wheeled anyone serious was sas'd.


I'd like it to be capable but anything serious I always see jeeps, 4runners and short beds.
I got a dirt bike in 2011 and that put a fork into wheeling for me.

 

Am i loosing strength when choosing the t3 aluminum front bumper? Is it worth it to save some weight up front?
