    But it's true. I'm basically at no lift now practically. But I do have the plate bumper, winch, heavy ass skid, and dual batteries.

    They are in need of replacement bad. Or I need to preload them

    Considering the lack of impacts that a front bumper usually takes, have you thought about going to aluminum to help reduce the front end weight when the time comes for LT?

    Not really. Weight savings are that drastic for the cost. Plus only relentless makes an aluminum plate and I have never loved the look vs my elite. Tim no longer makes them so I'm not sure. Ideally I'd just put the two elites on the double cab and make new hybrid bumpers myself.

    I'm betting an elite is good shape could bring top dollar right now. $1500 maybe. :notsure:

    Sorry to hear about the food poisoning. That sucks.

    I was talking about the front one for that price. The rear is way more considering what it is and its one of a kind.

    Yeah, most would not pay anything more than the going price of a relentless or CBI or the like. Would definitely take someone interested in the uniqueness and also with discretionary funds.:rolleyes:

    Thats true about the rear..Would ask a LOT more for that one considering these is less then 20 of them made..and only one with a swing out.
