Stubbs new sliders

hey all,
most of you know that STUBBS was one of the supporters for the Jambo this year, well Eric actually won the sliders, and I had won a certificate from BashinBumpers well Eric already has sliders, and wanted a custom rear bumper, and I needed new sliders, so we switched, lol.
After a few phone calls with Richard, he said he wanted to add a new style to his, already great line-up, and asked if I wouldnt mind waiting for the new sliders, I said, that I dont mind at all, I was greatfull for his (and everyone elses) support to the Jambo, but he wanted to get the paying customers product out first, I totally understand, anyways, I get an email from him asking for my mailing address, the sliders are shipping, :bounce2: I was so excited, lol.
I go to cutting the old ones off, and getting the frame ready for the new ones, everything is ready to go, Ill have them welded on tomorrow, if all goes as planned.
Heres a few pics, I do believe he will be calling this the Rubicon.



Im wondering if I should paint them black or silver ? Im leaning towards black.


Richard, thank you so much for your support, and your great customer service.

cool, but i dont remember talking to you about the design of them lol, i do remember letting Richard know what i was looking for, and what I wanted, but if you had something to do with it I like them. ALOT. they are beefy, infact the DHL guy pulled into the driveway, normally they park on the street, he said they are heavy and he did want to carry them from the street like i would care where he parked.

That's funny mine were just dumped in the grass next to the driveway. Not even up by the walkway. When my wife got home, she thought I had already been there and tore into them waiting for her to get home with the runner. I didn't even know the DHL guy had shown up.
