    True enough! There you have it, Orion needs Rockwells! And he shouldn't have any acceleration issues with that extra weight bcuz he performed the electric fan upgrade that adds more throttle response!

    Rear bumpers done ! now i know its not the prettiest thing, but this end needed to be more functional. and having been almost rear ended twice this winter i wanted a little more beef back there ( wow, that sounds dirty )




    And i finally got the lower bumper mounted up front. i still need to install fog lights in the old turn signal holes.

    does that just slip into the receiver or is it bolted to the frame? I assume it's removeable so that you don't lose departure angle when wheeling.

    I need to do something similar on the RV, it has NO protection on the rear & I truely hate having a vulnerable arse.

    He'll always be known as "Mr. Scary Hook" to me...

    As always, looking good Greg!.....

    As far as departure angle is concerned, now you've got a bomb proof piece of steel to slide down rocks with...perfect!

    Am I also seeing that the corners can accept 2" receiver hardware & be used as recovery points?

    BRILLIANT!...
