Fender trim

 

Is it regular ol fender trim? If it doesn’t help with wind noise I recommend this. Seals nicely against the roof and makes a big difference.

Yep, drilling near the rear airbags sucked but finally done, everything is deadened with kilmat.

Want to thank venture overland Co for hooking me up with the prinsu

I love that new bumper you've got, looks much better. Not that the ARB looked bad, just a different look. We ran the ARBs on our old shitty LCs in Africa and they're such a classic.

Did you get it custom made to fit more pod lights? I don't recall.

 

They come standard with two cut outs on each side for lights, made by bruteforce fab. Makes really nice stuff.

 

Dope, that's awesome. I think I am going to try to get mine customized a bit with 2 per side to do fogs and brights.

Bruteforce makes some really good stuff.

 

thanks, i just wanted to match the rear but i think it made the truck a bit more modern

just note that if you get the two cutouts, the furthest one will require some trimming of the headlight brace to install the bumper

 

Eh, I already have a custom made bumper, why stop now?

Looks good though.

 

bold move wearing flip flops during all that cutting....

 

lol, you planning on doing this?

 

i dont own a pair of flip flops....

but maybe someday....I like how minimalistic this mod looks. I also love how you used double sided tape on the mount on the A pillar, literally Genius.

 

Interested to see this one. A while back I had toyed with doing a project with that same harness and mounting it in the grille or somewhere else on the front of the truck. The only problem I can see is I think it's a similar problem to the wireless controller from Warn - the connection into the solenoid box isn't sealed, so they don't recommend you leave it permanently connected. So if you're planning to use the winch, I think you still have to open the hood or reach up under the bumper to get access to the solenoid and plug in the harness, right?

 

reason for the extension is to not open my hood to get to my solenoid, this one extended the plug to the front bumper, takes away one less step

 

Where is your solenoid? You can't just reach in those side access holes and plug it in? That's what I do but my solenoid is above the motor on the winch.

 

Mine is next to my headlight, I would have to do some fumbling around in the bumper cutouts to fish for the connector

 

Wanted the box away from any opening in the bumper since the last time I opened it up before sealing, there was a huge pool of water lol. This was the downside of having an external mounted box....water would make its way in every crack it can

 

whats the sleeve over the coilover for?
