    So, my Christmas present finally got here a few days ago and I got to install it yesterday/today: Here she is:

    Removed the stock bumper and frame extender and installed the adapter plate for the TG bumper:

    Primed (I think the army green color looks pretty badass!):

    Painted:

    Installed:

    image-4_zps700a4ed3_f61167d86938e33035eb86fe5cc495fd92809ae6.jpg

    I'm thinking I'm gonna hit all the stuff behind the bumper with black paint, so it doesn't stick out as much.

    Also, I gotta order some blinkers for it. Does anyone know of any aftermarket blinkers that will plug straight into the stock blinker female port?

    You can do what I did and rewire a dual filament bulb in your parking light much better IMO
