Thanks! This is probably one thing I debated with myself the most over. I literally could not find one that I loved. I really wanted a quarter fold tire carrier, but no one made one that I was willing to buy. AJ's is nice, but not what I wanted. Ultimately took a bit of a gamble on this one since there aren't many shots of it out there. The price I paid was too good to pass up as well. Ultimately, I'll probably sell this one sometime down the line. I plan on working with Cavfab on designing exactly the bumper I have in mind whenever he finishes the new products he is working on.
It's definitely beefy, but surprisingly not quite as heavy as it looks. I'll try to get a weight for it.

Love that thing. That was actually my original plan before I went full potato lol. And I'll keep you in mind when the time comes. Could probably throw on a pallet and ship via fastenal fairly cheaply. The bumper also came with lower quarter panel armor plates as well. Overall, I'm very happy with it. I'm just hoping I still love it once it's mounted.

Me too. Not a ton of testimonies out there, but from everyone I've talked to they all love them.
That's a good one too, but this is Rustoleum Flat Soft Iron

I was going to do that too. Actually already painted my gas tank skid that color. Same as the Cavfab paint right? I think I may even paint the arms in this color now lol
Deciding on what color im going to paint the axles. Ill probably just go with black and be boring. Lol
Axles in and trucklites on. Tough to get a good comparison shot of the headlights... plus it was like 2 AM in the photo and was too exhausted to work too hard for one



In this photo I actually added an Ironman4x4 tie rod, but couldn't find any photos of the swap. It is beefy though, night and day compared to stock. Got a good deal on it so it's just there for the mean time. Most likely will pass it on to a buddy of mine and upgrade to Currie. Also added a black grill. Looks good here, but I think I prefer the color

I know most people swap in ZJ seats. Any other recommendations? I really want to get rid of my 2 front seats. I'll most likely leave the rear leather bench though.
I plan on taking some measurements of the stock seats and then go walk around the pick a part yard for a while to see if I find any candidates.
