If you do end up coming to Grand Junction I have a calming winch bumper taking space in my workshop that I bet my wife would let go of cheap. We bought it for her 03 but then that rig ended up going to our daughter before we installed it.

Do you have any pictures of this bumper? Its a front right?

I can probably grab some later today but if you want an idea you can check out the Calmini site. Yes it's a front winch bumper and skid plate. Came off a sas'd rig so the front skid has been changed a little but it still fits an ifs rig. Would probably need a new coat of paint or powder.

Broke down and ordersd new wheels... Gonna wrap them in 33x12.5-15 general grabber AT2s as Im quite happy with how my current ones perform

Everyone i know that runs those tires love them. Ive decided my next set will be those instead of BFGs. Cant wait to see it all mounted up.

Yeah, Im currently running the AT2s but as a 32" and have had no issues really besides a sidewall puncture.

I did get the other 2 wheels today... Now we wait for rubber

I think they will look awesome. I havent seen anyone else running the chrome soft 8s which makes me feel special I guess. I also have a set of black lug nuts on the way for these wheels and a set of cheap "NISMO" valve stem caps.

Thanks guys! Had alot of positive on the various bookface pages i posted it onto. I gotta pull those 2 off and go back to stock until I get 2 more tires. Im also going to have to trim my sliders down a couple inches in the front and roll the fender in some to get the propper clearances. May just cut the metal, not sure how I want to go about it yet

They are indeed. The blocks actually are mostly full of concrete, about 80% full. Hollow blocks are a nogo. I dont use these for anything other than gettingthe front off the ground to drain oil and pull skids

Well I did a thing. Calmini UCAs, warn hubs, and AC TRAs installed. And somehow I got the alignment better than it was. Tracks straight as an arrow
