I think this guy has had the Duplicolor on his grill for about a year now, and the last I saw he said it still looks the same. When can one begin to expect the chipping you mention? Thanks.

And finally the line-x:









Now comes the hard part - installation!!!

How much did the Line X cost? My local shop is giving me a $250-350 price over the phone. That is a little steep when I can get it PCed for $100.

I had two line-x shops competing for my business. I got the guy down to $90 without even seeing the bumper. When he finished, he told me I should have paid between $125 and $150 for that. I knew I was getting a good deal. The price you were quoted sounds really high to me.

Love the tire cover. I'm getting sick of hearing that too. Where did you get that tire cover?

Default curious to see...

i just got the other ARB bumper, that doesn't have the turn signal and fog light holes, and i am curious to see how you use the tabs on the back side of the bar. the tabs are too far down on the back side, so every light that i had would hit the bar. the only way i could put lights on it was to make a bracket connecting the tabs, but raising it in the center.

Default MBRP, Trailready, and Ramsey.
Just wanted to post a few pictures of our new Trailready bumper and Ramsey winch. We had to dry fit everything today and add our grill guard before everything is sent out for coating.

What do you guys think?
