Nice build. You should check out the arizona thread and monthly arizona wheeling trip thread in the 4 corners part of the site. We have been trying to set up a wheeling trip be good to see you out there

Well brand new they are $400, but I found a guy who had just bought it and decided to go with a 9" lift with 37s so he sold it to me for $300.

Thats not a bad price, you can definitely get nicer/cheaper bumpers but for what it is thats not bad.
