man, I don't like their front bumpers at all, but I love that their rear bumpers look completely stock, and blend in...
I'm still torn between something like detours hidden winch mount (backbone) and a full plate bumper like an ARB.
I really want the bumper to either look stock, or to blend very well with the lines of the truck.
I dig craigslist deals, though, and it sure looks hell for stout...!!
great find!

Fun build, I didn't know Custom 4x4 Fab was still in business.
I have one question for MTNTECH, what brand is your snorkle?
It looks like an Airflow Snorkle- notice the tapered leading edge at the fender like in this install page http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSnorkelInstall1.htm that the ARB does not have.
I tried logging on to their website last night- but it's not operational. I don't think they're still in business.

can we move the snorkel discussion outside the build thread that doesn't have a snorkel?

I officially have an on-board air system. I'm a scuba diver, and I picked up an attachment for my regulator to fill tires!
So I'll be using my small high-pressure steel 80 tank to fill tires! It's just as big as a powertank, but it holds 3000psi of air!

Installed my late to arrive JCR Offroad roof rack/tire carrier. It was the best deal out there when I was searching as it is the tire carrier and already comes with 2 rear light tabs, 4 front light tabs and hi-lift holder prewelded.
Fits well and it is secure. I don't have my tire up there yet because I don't have 3 extra lugnuts.
