    Looks awesome. No issues popping of flares when flexed? Seems like too small of a gap but maybe its just the angle.

    Nope, the only thing I get is a little fender liner and cab mount rub on high speed stuff. I am doing the cab mount chop soon and might crank up my coilovers a bit too.

    Top pic is 285's, bottom was 265's.

    I was referring to the bumper hitting the flares and popping them off. Seems I have about 1/8" more space in between. It just looks like the flares are very close to the bumper towards the front. Like I said, maybe its the angle :notsure:

    Haha, the second pic it is sitting really close! It's from smacking the shit out of bumper on a rock. I actually had to adjust it last time I got back from Moab. It left a rub mark under my headlight on the trim piece.

    Thanks! It's always evolving! I backed off a ledge and caught the corner of the drivers side right where it meets the ifs skid. Whacked the crap out of it. Then got the rub marks when I hit a huge washout bombing down White Rim.

    My papers all call it gray. I bought it on a cloudy day so I guess it did look gray then.

    She looks so pretty all polished up. Can't wait for nicer weather.

    Wish I still had my "deep bronze metallic" Subaru legacy to park next to it.

    I had to go with polished rims. Not a big fan of blacked out. It's a bit dirty in this picture, hadn't had more than hosing of in two months.

    Some one actually changed the color on the title before I got it. It was originally gold, now it's brown. Clean it looks incredible, with a layer of dust and road grime it looks horrible.
