    Gonna look and see what pieces I'm gonna need to do the exhaust and order pieces and do it myself. After that I'll get the t case skid done and the skids put on then move onto the swingout for the bumper.

    Where are you getting your stuff for the swing out? I'm going to be building one hopefully in the next few months.
