    UPDATE


    Went over to hang out with Billy from BRUTEFORCE|FAB and put in an order for a new mouthpiece! (front plate bumper).

    He gave me many options and most appreciatively his input of off-roading wisdom. Hell he even bought me and my bro Me'n'Eds..(really good pizza in our area).

    I ended up going with his first design since I like the simplicity.

    Here is what will be going on my truck soon:D vv thats Billy and his personal truck....which is now all done up and lifted. Looks BADASS!

    Thanks man.

    Light bar is made out of aluminum angle iron from lowes. Made with hack saw and a drill.

    Aux device from what I understand is no longer made, I bought it from another member here.
