    Best way to do it. For the interior, I prefer the tackier brands like Rhino. The harder, more durable liners are too slick for the interior.

    I made mine out of 2"x3/8" flat stock. Overall length is 8" and they are 6" eye to eye. Only tip would be to stack the pairs when drilling so you know they will line up perfect. I did a little extra and rounded mine off because I hate smashing my head on pointy stuff when I'm under the truck.. and it looks sweet.

    Finally got my motor to stop pinging on partthrottle/high load!!
    After cleaning the MAF and throttle body, i replaced the fuel pump, plugs, o2 sensor and injectors. After all that the problem was still there, so i went to clean the MAF again for good measure and learned that i was doing it wrong. The important wires to spray with contact cleaner are way down INSIDE the housing not the bigger one with the bulb looking deal on the end of it!

    Problem finally solved and she is running STRONG!

    hahah hitting my head on corners while under my truck = lots of frustration (for me at least).. I'm guessing you don't have stock shackle mounts on your frame?

    Thanks :D.
    i literally just got it in the mail like 30minutes ago. Plus I got it custom ordered to match my bed bob so I have to bob my bed first lol..

    Noice.
    Yea it was between the outback and the bushmaster for me. Reason I went with outback was to match my BAMF sliders and AP tube front bumper.

    Yea that was the one thing I didn't take into consideration is that my bedsides are cut too. Hopefully the tube wrap arounds still look good. Is the outback bumper not HC?

    the bushmaster in a true HC bumper as you have to cut the bed sides for it to fit. the only you got just offers bedside protection, and the base bumper is just like a stock bumper as far as clearance goes.

    Then you have bare wires to cover up. Makes more sense to me to have a floor cover still.

    My old 97 LX 4cyl. Don't know if the stripe is original or not. Nor the fender flares. But that's how I bought it.

    When you guys run your CB antenna cables through these grommets in the jump seat storage (or underneath drivers seat) do you remove the whole grommet or just cut enough of it to fit your cable through? And how do you weather seal it afterwards?

    Looks kinda cool but I'm not sure why whoever put the strip on wouldn't have painted behind the bumper as well.
