    I love mine. Gears definitely help the 4 bangers out a lot.

    After I upgrade my rear leafs, gears are for sure next. Are you happy with the 4.88's?

    Yeah. 4:88 is perfect for where I live. Top speed limit here is 55, puts me right around 2k rpm. 70mph is closer to 3k+ rpm. I would've gone with lower gears if that were possible.

    I would just think that somebody who grew up watching the greats like Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson would be a bigger baseball fan :D

    I like the look of this bumper too. Is this an aluminum or plate steel? I am really doing the leg work before I pull the trigger on one. Regardless I am doing both front and back. I am leaning toward the ARB without the cutouts but full grill and headlight protection.

    It is steel. Weight saving of the aluminum would have been nice, the front is sagging quite a bit now, need to address this soon. Very happy with the bumper so far though. Took a while to get it lined up correctly, but that's to be expected. Can't go wrong with an ARB, but I just don't like how far the ARB's stick out. I really like how sleek the design is of the relentless is.

    Also very happy with my wraparound All Pro rear bumper. If I were doing it again I would maybe get the All Pro apex front bumper. Very similar look to the relentless, and probably a shorter lead time.

    So since I originally lifted my truck I have added quite a bit of weight, and the old girl has began to sag. I am going to experiment with moving the retainer clips up a couple notches on coilovers to bump the front back up a bit. For the rear I picked up a set of these today.image.jpg

    OME Dakars. Look pretty nice once I got my hands on them, excited to see how they look once they are mounted up.

    Now I just need the time, and preferably an extra set of hands to put them on and adjust the fronts *cough* *cough* CoTacoTRD *cough* *cough*
