Well I called ABRAN and he got me hooked up with everything I need to get replaced. Awesome dude, even stayed on the phone with me to help me take out the center dash which is a PITA!

What do you guys think of this front bumper?


I can pick one up for $300.

Looks like there is a blue winch power plug on bumper and is that a receiver in the middle of the bumper? If so, you can always get one of those receiver mounts for a winch. My father in law installed one so he could move the winch from front to rear and totally remove the winch when not wheeling. Not as cool looking as a bumper mounted winch but did seem practical...

Hmm.. so save my pennies for a winch capable one is the consensus. Thanks gents. Hope to be back in the trails by next week! What's a durable cheaper rear bumper?

So I started getting vibrations when I took Claire off-roading (mainly on steep inclines). I figured it was the u-joints. Took her to the shop today and came back after classes and they said the u-joints were like new and smooth as butter but if I wanted to get rid of those vibrations I had to get rid of my d^#med lift! I like Mississippians. They make me laugh. So apparently my drive line angles are out of whack. So what's my best bet here. GBR or Tom woods? And do I need both a front and rear? My driveline shop said the back seemed out of whack but the front doesn't seem to be angled badly at all. I have a HD TF lift with stock front and rear bumpers. I know I know I need extra weight but I don't have it at the moment haha

ha mine has a bit of weight and I'm still considering moving to TF light springs

Just get under there and measure the angles and distances. Tom woods would have you do it anyways.
