    Oh yeah I remember now.

    I'm trying to bust out the article for the magazine but feel like I have writers block or something stupid like that. Bob, I want to get your ideas going in next issue I believe, they were great.

    Oh man it's great! I think i was one of the first to get one around this site near early 2009. It has held up great and is still on of my favorite things I have bought for the truck. No mods or repairs needed.

    So I was thinking the other day, "How bad ass would it be to mount one of those LED light bars on the top light tabs on the ARB up front?". Not sure I could justify the price.

    Little bit of both. It was a very close trail. I knew it was going to be a possibility and it was very comforting knowing I wasnt going to wrinkle any sheet metal.

    They go much better than the Nitto terra grapplers. Hope the mileage holds up just as good.

    Exactly.
