The bumper has arrived and I installed it yesterday! I am very happy with the quality and appearance of this bumper! Here are a few quick pictures before I head to work; I will take more soon when I get a chance to take it off road.
Hi-Lift Jack stuff, a pair of Maxtrax boards, and roof rack mounts for them are on the way! Warn Zeon 10s winch, ARB recovery gear, and ARB twin compressor are hopefully in the works in a couple of weeks. And that will conclude the build for now - until next year perhaps!
Yes there's no way I could pay $500 for a piece of plastic haha. That snorkel is coming along nice!
$500 for a plastic PVC tube, at that! I guess its to cover R&D....which was "cut a 8x2 hole in the fender and stick this highly-technologically-developed plastic tube into it."
Did you figure out the situation on your Center-Diff? Do you have the mechanism incorporated into the stock front output housing? Is the "get up and go" lacking now with the larger tires? Its a significant difference from the stock sizes.

In regards to the CDL, I installed the linkage about 5 months ago; my transfer case had the nipple to begin with!
As for how everything is after the work I have done, I love it! The lack of 'get up and go' is almost not even noticeable! I think that is because it was never too great to begin with, ya know. The shift points feel ok and get this...after calculating the change in the odometer, I am getting like 1 or maybe 2 mpg MORE than I was getting before the lift, tires, and bumper! I can't believe this! I think it is because I have always had the roof rack already holing my mpg back and also because the thing cruises so nice with the larger tires at higher speeds now! But yeah more mpg for me! So I am more than ok with that aspect.
