    I'd go with the ARB up front specially since you already have quite a bit of other goodies. If not that I like the light retro fit idea!!

    your truck looks a little plain in my opinion, what about a nice personal design grafics package?

    that would run you about $1,000 and really make your truck stand out as yours and be original one of a kind WOW :eek:

    I'm not sure about your truck, but my truck REALLY likes Irish whiskey. I guess I'll have to get him some.

    Go for the retrofit, looks awesome! not to mention light output is a lot better. Seeing you have a white truck, paint the housing of the lights black and make it stand out a little. Won't regret it and its not too hard

    Nice set up. Not much else I would do.

    Maybe save the $1000 for gas?

    I am leaning towards the ARB air locker for the front or skidplates. I love retro fits, but I would rather spend 1,000 making my truck more capable than looking better. Thanks everyone. and if you know of a better skid plate deal let me know. or if you have anything good or bad to say about a front air locker, let me know!
