    I have a first gen, so my options are fairly limited. I only know of 4x, ARB, Rock Defense, and Relentless Fab.

    I've never heard of Rock Defense, but I've had great service with Relentless and 4x. ARB was through 4WP

    I forgot to mention. I pulled the hood off and had my buddy powdercoat it. It was fading when I purchased the truck and had a couple of dings that I replaced with vents. He charged me like $30.

    I asked 4xinnovations about a year ago for a rear swingout for 1st gens and they said they stopped making them because there just wasn’t a demand for it. Glad to hear it’s an option when I’m ready to go that route! I have a pair of their sliders and love them!

    I'd imagine that as these 1st gens start creeping into the realm of "Historical" vehicle the accesability of dedicated aftermarket parts will start to shrink. When I ordered mine it did state that they make them in batches as they receive orders and that lead time.may be up to 12 weeks. Quality is of course worth waiting for.

    Sorry didn't post pics when it arrived, but I got it Thursday last week, waiting on the doorstep after a work trip. Since I forgot to order a hilift mount, I decided to do it my own way and made my own out of a couple bolts and extra sockets (I hardly use my SAE's anyways!)

    Sanded and mostly prepped for some Rust-Oleum rattle can bed liner. I used this stuff on the rocker panels of my van and it's still holding up well after 3 years. I think most of the neg reviews come from folks that don't prep at all... This stuff needs a clean rough surface to addhere properly. But...it's still in the 30's at night here, so I'm gonna wait to paint...

    X2 I didn't notice it so bad on my front bumper, but this NWTI back one took FOREVER. Maybe because I was paying more attention to duty cycle of my little Lincoln.
