    Edit...tray back I like that.

    When I was researching this thing I learned all kinds of terminology. If you don't know the right terms google searches are less effective.

    Ute tray back camper or canopy is a good one for Australian flat bed campers.

    My humble offering, since I just installed it yesterday -

    Once I figure out my alternator/wiring/battery situation, I'll get the Warn mounted up.

    Are any on you guys running stock springs in the front? I have 5100's and am debating on running stock coils or getting some different ones.

    I'm 2wd, and even without a winch in my ARB I feel the front sagged just a tiny bit.

    I'm on 600lb springs with my Fox 2.5

    I'd imagine it would be worse on stock coils unless you crank the shit out of that preload, but then the ride would horribly suck.

    I like the ARB bumper but I'm not a fan of the upper bars. How easy do you think it would be to cut them off?

    Here is mine with a winch. A small bit of sag in very old stock suspension. Need to figure out some lights for it and am researching a suspension now to get a couple inches of lift.

    I guess you could grind them off but it would look pretty crappy being cut at all the nice welds.

    Mine has been on for 2 1/2 years and I am impressed how the paint has held up specially since I live in the salt belt

    I do love my arb but I also loose approach angles.
    I like the coastal bumpers but i dont have the time to weld it together and the extra animal protection with the arb crush things is nice.
    Everything has a trade off

    I can see that for the small holes but there are 4 small holes and two large holes just thought there may be another reason for them

    Looks great. Is that smoother or textured?
