Boys,

Forget about this thing.

It is the ugliest thing on the market and when we get the Jeep it is the 1st thing to be taken off.

If you can get a hold of the picture from the side you would know what I mean.
It comes out so far that its almost a bed.

Ugliest thing ever.

Looks good from the front, ..and not being able to get it makes it more apealing somehow.

Personally I dislike it a lot, it is too massive and true that does it not shot up much mud, but it also traps quite a bit of it ...
I can see what you mean about those bumpers trapping a bunch of mud, I didn't think about that aspect. Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it.
