    After I finish installing my switch panel overhead, I'll be tackling my UCAs. Have a pair of ball joint cam burgs with moog ball joints ready to install :cool:

    Finished my switches... gonna order 2 more so that i can fill the empty spots. Have the switches hooked up to the dash and the lower bar hooked up to turn on when the lights turn on.

    How it looks during the day

    Yeah i did see those.. If i didn't know what i wanted then i woulda went with those, but i know what my other 2 switches are gonna be for. In other news, I'll be ordering my rear bumper soon and planned on going brute-force. After hearing about some members here who've been waiting on orders for a while now, I'm going to look around more.

    I was going to go though him when I got my bumper replaced after a fender bender accident, but my body shop needed to use a bigger company for some reason. I ended up with a Armortech. I still really like his small tire carrier for the non-hc bumper. I plan to add that on at some point if I can make it fit on mine.

    Yeah its pretty nice looking bumper.. I'm looking for a high clearance, and it is a nice bumper, just a little too big for my liking. Armortech has one of my favorite bumpers but i have heard problems too. I really want to go Relentless but they're pricey same with pelfreybilt. WHY CANT I JUST HAVE EVERYTHING

    BAMF is going to start making bumpers soon. Maybe hold off till you see what Jerry comes out with. ANON, if you talk with Eddy, he's good about customizations too. If you wanted to take some measurements and tweak them I'm sure he'd be more amenable to changes than most.
