This is my preferred method

 

New Matte Gray SEMA wheels and Cooper ST MAXX tires (255/80/17) put on this weekend

 

Looks great! You need the Rear Summit Bumper now.

 

Ok, thanks for the reply. I’m looking into a bilstein set but I’ll probably just go new.

 

I'm thinking of getting the Summit bumper. Do you like it, not like it? How far does it stick out...etc.

 

Just got back from our overnight trip Schubarth trail in CO

 

Slimmer profile than OEM, definitely rock Solid. Retains the OEM hitch, so your towing capacity remains rated the same. Side wings offer way more protection since they wrap around the rear of the bedsides. Do like it, just got a HC Rear installed, may do a body lift, so they will definitely be off a bit. If you interested, I’m selling mine for $600

 

Thanks for the Feedback, sorry I wasn't specific. Am curious about front bumper. I'm getting an HC rear as well.

 

Installed the Pop n Lock yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was. I ran the cable up along the frame and came in through the boot on the passenger side of the firewall instead of the floorboard. Living in the rust belt, I don't run anything through the floor grommets.

Works great!

 

Hm, this is interesting. I have a tri fold one and I did notice that sometimes a very little bit of water does find its way in. Maybe I'll have to look into this.

 

Dumb question but for you guys that have replaced the radio knobs, did the old ones just pull off? I’m trying to get mine off cause I bought a set of the thicker furled knobs but the old factory ones doe t want to come out. I don’t want to break anything. Looked for set screws or retention pins or something but don’t see any. Should I just go ahead and reed on em? Or is there some trick?

 

Mate I bloody love it! It does stick out a wee bit but it's not that bad. You'll need to upgrade your suspension for this one as it's a bit heavy.

Yeah maybe one day in the future lol I need to rest my wallet for a bit

 

They should just pull off. Might want to wobble them from side-to-side while gently pulling.

 

Stock suspension? any rubbing with this tire setup?

 

Looks good! I'm planning on doing this in the fall when I have a bit more free time. How'd you get the trd logo on the side marker?

 

Thanks. I eventually figured it out. Just said fuck it and pulled hard...

 

Icon Stage 4 with OME Leafs. No rubbing yet but I'm sure that'll change once I'm stuffing the wheels into the wells on the trails this week
