    So I figured after today's errands, I'd remove my bumper.

    It's really a small 5-10 minute job; the real reason for putting it off was the anxiety I got from the possible wiring. If you've followed this thread, you'll remember the rats nest that's my stereo install.

    Anyway, I move the LC to the driveway only to be stopped by my neighbor. Haven't seen him in awhile so we chatted. Apparently his wife told him to come see me a few days ago to cut some wood and help with something :rofl:

    Hour later I'm like ok bumper time. My new neighbors to the other side of our house come shoot the shit. Nice people!

    Ok enough time has passed by; bumper time.

    They bring over nectarines! Fucking legit :rofl:

    Ok ok ok, onto the bumper. I'll skip all the in-between shit, it's boring really. Here's the mess.

    And like I anticipated, the fucking wires were a nightmare.

    Least it's all ready!

    Should see how much extra bracing there is underneath, excluding the spare tire carrier.

    From this angle though, I feel like I should cut it off and have the bumper closer to the vehicle but that'd just be extra metal...and work :burp:

    Must be a brolander thing to have a dorkle. It's a waste of money. Rather save that money for a hp elocker.

    Ha, it got paid forward. I was just the middle person who temporarily took possession of it to give it to someone else. Trust me, I got enough zombie light on my campershell.

    Lockers, check
    Beadlock, check
    Extra big tires, check
    Crawlbox, not 1 or 2 but 3, check
    Armor, check
    And....
    Lightbarssss, check

    :rofl:

    Sorry, alcohol free. That's the only way I can afford to do things I do. I sacrifice. Cup noodles over steak. Tools over beer. :rofl:
