Thanks for the updated info JeepinMass. I would take a CAD drawing at this point just something to make my decision. Maybe I can wait alittle longer.

Don't take what I say as set in stone, it's just an educated guess.

Since they all perform the same function, it comes down to the look that you prefer.

That being said: RIVER RAIDER ROCKS!!!

Not all perform EXACTLY the same. For example the RR doesn't have anywhere for water to drain if it happens to get in. ARB and AEV can drain any water that might get in.

I got to say, that is not the way I would have thought it would have been done. I would like to see some under hood shoots too. I don't really like it so much. JMO.
