    Honestly if the wheels were maybe black, it might not be half as bad.

    Be very careful on the install. Don’t force the mirrors on the tabs. If they don’t snap on readily you can crack them with too much force. Had to replace my passenger unit and trim the snaps slightly.

    Added the Body Armor 4x4 Hiline bumper. It's not a full bumper but has the light bar and winch options that I wanted. Also love the low profile / semi stock look

    I took them out and it was easy peasy to use a 1500 w/d pad, 3000 w/d pad, then meguire’s ultimate compound. Took about 5 minutes a piece to do them by hand, using a micro fiber with the polish. Deep nicks are still there, but crystal clear otherwise. Wish I got the yellow bulbs though, think they look cooler now that I’ve seen them more.

    Wow! Being from the south, it blows my mind to think of snow that deep this early in the winter. I’m sure it gets old after a while but it looks like fun from here.

    Nice!! I've been eyeballing that kit since I recently picked up a welder. Does the kit really come with everything you need? What does your swing out look like when open?

    Low profile winch bumper is the way to go for mild offroading and having a winch. I went USOffroad and LOVE the stock look with the capability to carry a winch. That bumper looks great!

    Sounds easy enough. Thanks man. I was imaging some homemade bullshit with 3 or 4 bolts reaching down through the lug holes because there was "no center hole"....which is why it was still a put off project :) .

    I like to think I would have tried to just pull on it before I went to all that trouble, but....who knows lol.
