LOL I was wondering how far we'd get before someone asked. Just the angle of the photo plus the alignment is out of wack making it look even worse

Slowly but surely! I do like that bumper. I'm gonna be grabbing their crusader bumper when the time comes. JCR is only like 2.5 hrs. from me, so when I'm ready, I'm gonna drive over there and they said they'd give me a tour of the shop.

Yep, just the angle and alignment making it look bad

I know you haven't used them yet but I am looking at JCR sliders and wondering whether to go with the classic or crusade? I see they tie in differently, are the classics more sturdy or is it just a different look?

I was looking at the crusader sliders as well as the notch customs sliders when I was deciding what I wanted. The crusader and notch both have a little higher clearance and look cleaner. I don't have any firsthand experience with either so this is just my opinion, but I just don't see how those could be as strong as the tried and true design for sliders like the classics which I why I decided to go with these. Jcr has even said it themselves that they almost didn't make a new version of their sliders when they redesigned their bumpers because the classics already do so well.
