    Yep,

    They suck donkey butthole too.

    Just spend the extra bucks and get RCI's something else. One hit and the ARB's are done.

    Artec, CBI, RCI and several others are true skid plates. ARB is just engine under cover and won't stand up to true skid plate duty since it is too thin and weak.

    Not much. I did add the blackout emblem overlay on the steering wheel. Looks a lot better than the chrome.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    It's the little things sometimes.

    LOL..... my skids survived my last trip, however heres a few things:

    The Transfer case skid requires you to remove four bolts holding the transfer case together and then bolting on the skid with those screws. Essentially if you pop this skid you could trash your transfer case. (I have elected to leave mine off)

    The skids sit REALLY low. like you lose an inch of clearance compared to just about everything out there. I'll post a pic of a side view when I get a moment.

    Not today, but I recently removed the RCI aluminum front skid and installed full steel CBI skids (still waiting on the gas tank skid to arrive).

    Took family to the park this morning. Realized I forgot the paddles to the kayak once I got there. Still got in some miles on my bike.

    How’s the light output for the SS42 lightbar?

    Honestly, it is BAD-ASS!!! I was very pleasantly surprised by it, but I will say this thing lights up a mile down the road (or so it seems). I am going to change the outside two lenses to have either all driving lenses or two wide/fog lenses. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE this lightbar!

    Any reason for the difference in tire pressure front to rear?

    Your 4R must ride like a dump truck with those tire pressures.

    After installing the bumper and the winch the ride became floaty. Having higher pressure in the front made the truck behave like it used to before the bumper/winch.

    Not really. Cold pressure is 39/42. Rides better than the recommended 38.

    Right. 32 is for stock tires. Mines are 285/70/17 KO2s in C.

    Not judging just saying. While the sidewall may say 60 psi you should be putting in the recommendation for your vehicle based on many different variables. I am running 285/75/17 and I am no where near that pressure. I am running the stock tire pressure in mine.
