    I've got that one thing, and that other one thing, oh yeah and that other other one thing.
    That is until you have to drill holes into your bumper to make them work. Wouldn't feel so bad if I knew the same size plate would go on after.

    true. but thats with any plate imho. I’m glade we don’t have front plates in TN, and glad dealer or PO did not drill holes in bumper.

    Don't get me wrong, the bumper won't be like that for too terribly long. Trying to find a place local that can do a plate bumper. Probably won't happen but eh.

    Can you not get one shipped over? or is shipping just thru the roof? ARB bumper maybe? could maybe get that for now and sell it and get something els when you got back to the state.

    just throwing out some thoughts....

    Shipping restrictions are a bitch over here. For it to arrive on base I have to ship it USPS, in which it has to be less than 70 pounds, and meet a certain dimensional preset criteria.

    Bumpers do not :(

    The other way is UPS straight to my door which would rape everyone involved.

    Decided on going with TC 3.5" kit, still trying to figure out which coils to go with. I was thinking King, but that is still tenative.

    Got my light bar mounts in, pictures to come. Also got some Hella 500's that I'm going to throw in either behind the grill or in the back as a dust light.

    I know right? Wish I had some kind of update.

    The light bar that my sister in law ordered for me for Christmas wouldn't ship to us, so back to stage one, no lights lol.

    I do have word though, of a plausible group buy for a 50 curved with mounts :spy: Which would happen in a heart beat.

    Exactly, because APO, and cheap Chinese made.

    I've been in touch with a few individuals regarding LT, and it's going to happen, just a ways from now unfortunately.
