    Gotta pull the kick panel to access the wiring harness connectors. Another part of the reason I'm not going any further today. Knowing my luck it would start raining before I got them back on. :rolleyes:

    I need your guy's opinions. I'm in the market for a front plate bumper and I was leaning towards an ARB. But now I'm looking at the Relentless Fab DIY kits. I can get the ARB front bumper shipped for about $1200, or I can get the Relentless front and rear bumper kits plus the slider kit for about $1300 shipped. Getting the DIY kits welded is not a problem for me. I'm just stuck on which way to go.

    so 1200 for just the front or 1300 for front, rear, and sliders...... that really shouldnt even be a question haha. go with relentless and all you'll need is skids and be completely armored...

    Yeah. Price wise it's obvious. What about airbag approval and insurance issues in the event of an accident? I guess my main concern is safety and insurance coverage.

    airbags have nothing to do with the bumper.. they are inertia driven

    Yes, I know this. I was just thinking about in the event of an accident possibly being denied coverage because of something like the front bumper not having approval ratings. Then again I tend to over think everything.
