    Thanks Jake for the link. appreciate it man. From what i compared with it i think ill go with the 5500 just for the simple fact it has bluetooth and sync on it compared to the 1500.

    Thanks Mark for the link man was very helpful in the decision makin. I think im gonna go with the 5500 like u have cause of the bluetooth and sync capability. CANT WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! hahaha

    Mike ur right on the bluetooth. that will come in handy goin down the road to have my S4 programmed to it. and the sync it awesome too. i listen to the radio a lot along with the songs i have on my phone.

    I wanted mine to come with a wireless one too. but it came with a remote but u have to plug it into the winch and operate it that way. IMO wireless is the wat to go though.

    You won't regret it with the bluetooth. I can't wait until the end of November to hopefully have & start priming/painting my bumper :)

    Yeah we'll see if I want to spend another $100 on something, I'm already about to spend about that to get the iPhone 5 advanced app cords for my Pioneer head unit. That does looks awesome though, I think BensonX (2nd Gen guy) made a short video about how easy that thing is to use... literally plug & play.

    Nah I went with an Elite plate bumper w/ some extra add ons.


    How do you like the wired remote? How long is your cord?

    its alright it comes in nice if i am in the truck and want to winch something without gettin out to spool it right at the winch itself. but it would be REALLY nice to have wireless though.me too man i hope ur bumper gets here soon before u go to camp Mark. i want to see it too on the truck. Haha.

    Thanks Ben.

    Ah gotcha, well I'll wait till I get the bumper mounted & use the winch a few times before I decide to splurge and get the WARN wireless remote :eek:

    Nice I really want the elite rear bumper, I wish those guys would hire some good workers, I don't like lead times :( when I tear my truck apart to do the sas ill probably order a DIY kit for the rear. Jealous of your HU too, I need one of them, I still listen to cassette tapes though so I don't wanna give those up.

    In an email last week Tim (the owner) said he's hiring a few guys to help him get caught up with everything, but yeah I agree it seems his estimated fab time isn't syncing up with his actual fab time with work orders. When it gets down to it I agree he makes a good product!

    Do you happen to want an Elite rear bumper for the wrap around feature? If I were you I'd get a DIY kit if you know how to weld well.

    Haha you old (not so old) fart. Get with the new age of digital music :p

    Yeah I want the wrap around Elite they are rad! There aren't to many resr plate bumpers on the market that I like.

    Haha I know I have like rhapsody and shit on my phone, there is just something cool about a tape that I like.

    Pretty sweet video for anyone stumbling around this build and thinking of re-gearing

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SX8aUM03XE


    Right! I haven't found any other ones that wrap around AND are plate bumpers..

    Yeah but aftermarket head units look so bo$$ in our trucks

    I think the Relentless rear bumper looks awesome (pretty much identical to Elite's) but Relentless doesn't offer the wrap around feature that Elite does. A tire swing out would be AWESOME. That's what I want.... eventually :pout:

    I know Mark. I think they look awesome too. im wantin to fab me up one exactly like that instead of spending a ton of $$$$. but that is the exact one im wanting. i thought about the wrap around but thought this would be fine too.
