I would rather have no instruction and rely on my instincts with a brief description of "what comes in the box" than to have a product that half-assed instructions using a 200 and metal supports that don't line up with 100 series rear mounting bolt locations. The instructions are just bullshit. I got it marked up so I can drill and grind on it tomorrow. I'll have some pictures. Pityful.

I could have given them a nice review. Now I will say nothing or leave a trail of the hack job pictures that it takes to install it. I've grown tired of installing shit that doesn't really fit or all you get is a big bag of mixed up bolts. ARB instructions were little help. Thankfully there were some videos of people who really did an installation.

If you want to see some good instructions and documentation, check out the DeltaVS rear bumper info in the link below.

its a better addiction to have than drugs.



but sometimes i wonder if i'd have more money with drugs.

 

I had it on for maybe 3 months then took it off. It was heavy as hell and covered a ton, great for protection but made maintenance under there impossible without the pain of removing and reinstalling it.

Even back then when I was wheeling harder trails more often and thought I needed it, I really didn't. The IFS and tcase skid were enough. I took the Budbilt belly pan off and reinstalled the Skidrow tcase skid instead.

The Budbilt IFS skid is awesome, I would still run that if it worked with my AP bumper. It's wider and covers more (like the cams) than the dinky All Pro skid.

 

And I've had some sketchy Craigslist meetings that felt like I was about to buy drugs.

 

@01x4 How's your vacation going?

 

Oh, wait. We forgot something. Turn back.

 

Back home now, day before Elsa, who ended up passing a tiny bit west, which was an odd track.
But it was great, even for the week after the 4th it wasn't too crazy. (Didn't bother driving on the beach though, spots like that during the on season are nuts no matter what.)

 

Morning all, almost time for work.

 

*Speaking of, I didn't get to switch my fronts before going on the trip, so the new bumper is on the OG springs, measured when I got home, only brought the front down 1/4". Not bad.

 

Bright color!

 

It sure is.. I didn't know they came in that color.
