Hi

Your jeep looks very good.

I am in the process of ordering the same front bumper....

I have not seen many pictures of a LOD Armor Lite Subby and Bushwacker flats combo.

Would you mind posting of some more pictures. Side on and front on pics, if you can.

Regards
Paul

Nice write up. Mine's been installed for about a year and no issues.

I just ordered these and plan to install them this weekend, but the LOD instructions (here) recommend using a 7/16" final drill bit and a 13/32" tap. So...

Interesting. Maybe they are using different hardware now. I would double check with LoD to make sure.

Agree. There was just a thread on this where I made the obvious mathematic connection that it doesn't make sense.

7/16 drill = 14/32

Tap = 13/32 (I.e smaller than the hole)

Pretty sure you won't be tapping any holes when the tap is smaller than the hole. LoD must have a typo in the instructions. I have the same sliders and those numbers are way wrong from what I have. And you'll be totally screwed of you go that route.

If you look at the photo of the Kawasaki drill/tap set it has a 7/16"x20NF tap and a 13/32" drill bit. The way they word it in the instructions is misleading though.
