i also scraped up both of my hands and arms pretty bad, i have two deep cuts, one on each hand.

 

Very nice, clean install...any thoughts on a lift with that?

I've been following your build up, seeing as though i have the exact same runner, I like to see what yours is going through. I'm interested to see this front bumper, as I will hopefully be investing in a TJM soon but am skeptical since I don't have a lift.

 

Already have a used set of bilstein hd's with ome 881's coming my way, got them for a very good price, and they only had 5k miles on them. I am gonna use those once my stock suspension gives, and just find something for the rear to level it out with the 881's.

I plan on doing coilovers, so that first set up is just temporary, maybe a year max on it.

I will start a bumper build thread once i get some more pictures on the progress we make today.

I was gonna go with a tjm-15(hoops one), for one thing i could go pick it up at the TJM USA headquarters, but i am having a friend make me one of my own design, and the max its going to be is 700, so cheaper than a tjm.

 

Brad building you the bumper? i like his first bumper on when he had IFS. sorta like Rics but lower profile stinger.

 

Blake, do you plan on staying/living in CO?

 

He still has the same bumper, just added onto the low profile stinger.

Yes he is building my bumper, its going to use 1.5" and 1" round tube, 2x2 square tube, and some plate. I am going to his shop after work today and we are gonna work on it, his shop is only like 3 minutes from my house.

 

crolison, you should turn your snorkel head around, it makes even cooler sounds then!!!

oh, and nice work blake, its a bitch to put on isnt it! now go sink the truck and take some sweet pictures!

 

I will try driving with the snorkel backwards. only had it on one day and already gotten questions about it.

i just cant wait to get out of work and go work on my bumper.

 

that i do not know just yet, depends if I find a really great job out here. Even though I wanna offroad a lot, i really gotta focus my attention to school though, i need to finish in 2 years.

on my way out now, in st louis, will be in limon by night tomorrow most likely, and may keep driving on into denver area.

 

Neliconcept, did you remove your antenna before you drilled your holes? I didnt and my antenna is toast, i gotta go spend another 30 bucks to get an antenna mast. But the bumper is coming along.

 

no i left the antenna in, and i just pulled out in time, it works but i dont even use my radio so i pulled it afterwards anyways.

 

that's a huge cloud. i'm not sure why you would want to put your rig through that.

 

because he who does will feel like a buffet of manliness
