    I'm highly considering their front and rear bumpers - because aluminum...the hard part would be finding someone who could weld the shit together.

    I ended up going the dremel with plastic wheels. Worked well enough...

    If I ever get a rear bumper, I'd have Chad make me something like this. Except without the swingout.

    So with beer in hand I went out and half Ass'd laid some tape down on the bumpers. 1) I think it woukd look good and more than likely I'll do it. 2) These 265/70's are gonna look small AF after the bumper trim. They already look small now. I'll be itching for rubber soon.

    I'll probably end up with their front and rears, in aluminum.

    I'll buy a TIG and weld the shit myself.

    I don't want a bunch of weight for street driving. I learned that lesson on my truck.

    Yep. Pieces are labeled and fit was good. Wasn't too bad of a process. Biggest pain was relocating the rear airbag compressor. I installed it prior to doing the rear spring swap, so needed the compressor at the time.

    It is.

    I feel like these would be a pain to TIG. Probably cheaper to pay someone to do it if you don't have the equipment already.

    You can MIG aluminum too...

    Was goofing around with my buddy’s 37’s next to the lex. They are a bit large for right now.

    Considering I ran the 285/75 with no lift I’m not afraid to cut and hammer. Just not sure the diff and rack would last very long
