Default Bumpers and Lights Done w/pix

Just finished installing the last of my KC Slimlites on the windshield. Running the wires were just as easy as explained here on the board by other posters. Thanks for all your help and info. The KC fogs I put on the Warn bumper and angled them outward slightly because of all the off road driving I do in the dark, I wanted to make sure of no surprises sneaking up on me from the sides.

The front bumper is a Warn with the powerplant 9500 winch and grill guard was purchased seperately. The bumper was heavy, but nothing like the Fab Fours Rear bumper w/ tire carrier. That sucker weighed a ton...ok, maybe it was more like 132 lbs, but it felt like a ton.

With the help of my brother and his air tools it took us a little over 3 hrs to complete both jobs. Would have been sooner if we didn't have big hands...some of those bolt fitting on the Warn you needed to SQUEEZE into some tight places. Anyway...both bumpers are solid!

Just received an email from BUSHWACKER today and they stated that the 4dr pocket style fender flares will be RELEASED tomorrow, 4/4/07 for shipping. So I am only waiting on my flares and Shrockworks rock sliders to come in...been on order since March

I can't load the pictures....SORRY..so I will give a link, but maybe someone can load them for me....

I really like that. I was not sure about the Warn bumper but looking at yours, it looks awsome and I may have to put it back on my list when I upgrade.

I had PJ tires on my old superduty truck. I loved them. How do you like them? What size are those?

Very very nice lookin rig. That is the exact front bumper and tires (PJ Dirt Grips) that I want. Coincidentally, my X is also the same color. I still like Steel Blue the best. Congrats on the nice installs!!

Btw, where did you get your PJs and what size are they??

take care

The tires are 35x12.50/17 on American Racing 17x9's. I got them from

ntwonline.com

They are my first set of PJ's and they are great. I usually went with Pro-comp but wanted to try a new look and I have no regrets. Great handling in the snow and mud and super quiet on the highway.
