no, we set our dates for our run, they knew it and then they decided to choose the same date for their cleanup. any other time we would support it but we're not changing our dates around for them to come late to the party with date and time.

fixing fences and cleaning the sand dunes
Im in the underground here, & honestly its still kinda overrated. Not trying to bash travis, but it seems like since the switch its been taken over with imature kids how like tatas! (more of an *** man myself! lol) but I guess it beats being D-E-A-D in there. It was starting to look like NAXJA! haha
well the only reason you say NAXJA is dead is cause you never left the IC forum :P

A pin and washer makes for quick removal. The bracket is low profile and bolts to the leaf spring box. Its pretty slick

So I need some opinions, got the front bumper done. Look's good Im just concerned with how it bolt's on. We didn't take it back very far and I am wondering if you guy's think this will be good enough to pull me up some stuff.

i'll say maybe, but if it was me i'd take it back farther to the other holes also. i've seen those factory style mounting points tear right off in a hard pull. but also i've heard of them holding up.

I agree bring it back to the farthest back steering box bolt. If something is worth doing its worth doing right!

I assume the lip is on both ends, so it wouldn't really matter which end I cut correct?

Devin how bad of vibes did you get from yours?
