    No :rolleyes: What's a wheeling?

    There's plenty of stuff in my gallery if you're anxious. A few samplers. Sorry I don't have the benefit of professional photography:

    Hi Mom!
    [​IMG]



    Thanks for the vote of confidence.

    Brandon: You like your AP stuff, think it suits your needs, fine. I don't think it suits mine, and I *know* it won't hold up because I wheel the same stuff as the guys who've trashed theirs. Does that mean I don't drive as well? Possibly, but I'm not out to compete in ECORS. I'm out to enjoy myself, and if that means thinking a little less and dragging a little more, I'll live with it. As long as my armor holds up.

    Unless you run a strap back to the boxed section of frame those will bend under hard pulls. For a couple bucks in steel and bolts it's good insurance.

    With that being said

    All-pro's products may be fine for some of you...but my $ is at a premium...and if i'm purchasing something that may protect my truck one day

    Do i buy the stuff that has had failures (that i've seen) or do I buy the stuff that has had zero posted issues unless it was on MJPs truck?

    Easy answer for me

    And i'm sure someone will say "but all-pro sells so many that theres bound to be a failure or 2"

    Thats fine...and I understand that concept...but how many ARB bumpers are sold WORLDWIDE without so much as a whisper about failure/bending/etc?

    Build thread in sig... 4-link long travel
    with the exception of my gas tank skid and sliders, my skids and bumper are from allpro and have served me well. my little twist though is that I have altered their products to my liking. it was the best option for me because i had the recorces to do so, resulting in armor that is much stronger than what they put out of their shop, but much less expensive than the other manufacturers.

    if you have the means (access to the right tools and the ability to use them correctly), i recomend this route.
