    I'd post my photoshopped truck but alas, don't want to hijack the thread.

    Don't you have planets and stars to find? :luvya:

    Right now I'm writing about aquifer system compaction in overdrafted groundwater basins, and methods for compiling water use statistics for the nation.

    Play time will have to wait. Plus, it's daytime...

    Welcome to TW! Armor or no armor is all good for me. If you like the way it protects your vehicle from animal strikes/obstacles/bad drivers, mount lights & winch, and the way it looks, is very useful. Does everyone have to have one? Not really. It boils down to if you need that type of armor/equipment mounted on your truck and where you’re driving to.

    You would be correct.
    installed them last week. It probably won't see any more additional work for some time. \

    The front looks great, but I am :drool: over the rear bumper. That is one of the best looking rear bumpers Ive seen in a while. Nice choice!:thumbsup:

    @Greeny , can you post a side view of the front bumper with it mounted on the truck. Did you have to do the fender trim job to make it fit, or does this mount with no cutting of the front fenders. Looks really good front and rear.

    looks good, welcome to the club!:thumbsup:

    and so it begins:spending:...next it'll be front coils to support the bumper, rear springs to level it out. new shocks so that you can run the springs, a winch to make the front coils ride better, bigger tires so it wont look so goofy;)... and so it will continue:D

    in all seriousness though, the truck looks good:hattip:.

    After all those IFS upgrades, you'll end up chopping everything and be back at first base with a solid axle, links, coilover, lockers, crawlbox etc etc etc etc.....

    It never end.....
