    I know more about the UCAs from TC and IVD, which is the reason I'd go straight to them. I would have to read more about the APs before I actually consider them.

    Maybe I'll talk with you about them one day. Still slowly saving money for multiple projects.

    Damn, I know but I'm waiting on a call back from Greg to see if they'll let me pay w/paypal. In the meantime, AP has a group buy going and it's actually cheaper (albeit not by much) than BRs. Then there's the LR ones that are a bit cheaper than those two.......I know, I'm making this harder than it has to be. Whatever I get I hope it corrects my alignment issues.

    Haven't heard that many good things about LR. Built right set up a PayPal account when I set up a group buy for them so I'm pretty sure they will let you pay with PayPal.

    Yea, I read about their issues. I believe they have resolved them. I've been talking to guys on here that have them w/zero issues (post recalls). But I guess the bad stigma is what's bugging me and keeps me from pulling the trigger.

    Sup Davey - They would be a logical choice, both because of their reputation and their pricing. Except for the fact that there is this gb on the APs which is also holding me back. Just want to make the best decsion for my budget.

    Thanks for your inputs guys, really appreciate it. :cool:

    Installed my new grill today, as well as did some routine maintenance to the truck. I'll have pictures up tomorrow.

    Color is super close. Clear coat isn't as glossy, but still pretty spot on.

    She looks a very different, but I'll get use to it. Definitely loving the more complete face. Definitely looks much better then the black.

    I like the stock grill though :pout: Even if I wanted to do one, they're all a couple hundred bucks which is money I'd rather put else where...like a winch. :anonymous:

    Thanks! I've been thinking about the Retros, but my issue is that money trees aren't a thing... :anonymous: ...and a winch is looking pretty appealing at the moment. Plus, I've been wanting to rewire my backup lights and maybe fit a single row LED light bar on the bumper. Then again, I've been thinking about maybe taking a weekend trip to Signal Peak sooner or later before snow really hit in the Sierra Nevada's.

    Yea, but for the most part Signal Peak and the winch are my "big ones." I would like to get one, maybe two trips in before the Christmas Tree Run in Decemeber, but we'll see. Winch will be a great investment since no one likes being stuck.
