That's good to know! Yeah, I forgot to include the bumper. I certainly don't expect that to stay pretty for very long. Will be swapping it out in May/June (likely with the LoD mid-width).

I'd like to take it easy on the wheels but it may be too long before I can replace them (not 'till after lift kit, addt'l skids, camping gear, etc are purchased) so I fear they will get beat-up pretty bad. I'd replace them straight away, but I want to get 15 16 inch wheels (will be asking advice at some point).

I'm mostly concerned with the body (sheet metal) and the underbody components (control arms, trackbar, driveshafts, etc.). So I'll be sticking to trails that I at least have a chance of escaping serious damage to those items.. It will still be my daily driver (40 mi/day)..
