It might be the angle of the pic but it looks like your front axle shaft is contacting your coilover? Truck looks awesome tho, time switch in the real beadlocks rings so your tire doesn't try to leave you again haha.

Its just the angle, no contact plus I took that pic when they weren't done.

I did slightly bend my steering knuckle when offroading. I've ordered replacements that are reinforced with Outlaw gussets. I also ordered ICON Adjustable UCA's.

Yeah been thinking of doing the true beadlocks but such a pain to switch out. Having another set of wheels/tires would be more ideal.

Yeah see that you got the SVC cutout skid plate. I got jipped. Getting another one that is black but had to pay for it.

Didn't realize yours was a cutout. I've been looking at this bumper along with the Baja coyote. I like the idea of separate mounts available to allow for reinstallation of the stock bumper when need be with the Baja coyote.

I got some vinyl done and put SVC on it. I think Jeff was in a hurry and didn't have time to have the guy cut out the logo. I told Jeff that is advertising and makes no sense why you wouldn't. You can't put the stock bumper back on without having to weld back on the frame horns with this one. I wanted clearance. If I didn't want clearance then I would of went with either ADD Venom or customized Rogue that use the factory mounts. Not sure if I like that new Baja Coyote.

Yea...the svc was my first choice. I like that the Baja Coyote now offers valances without any logos. I hate logos a lot of times. Though the svc cutout looks good. How long did you or the shop take to get it in? You have it powder coated or was that straight from svc?

If you are asking about the bumper, I installed it myself with two buddies. Took way to long and the first cut side was bad. Other side about as perfect as you can get. Definitely will take some squaring up if I ever put the stock bumper back on. Bumper comes powder coated. Skid is optional. I took what he had hence why I got the plain aluminum one. I've ordered the black powder coated skid and think the red vinyl SVC will contrast pretty good.

If I had to do it again, I would pay a professional to install the bumper.

I like that red vinyl on the aluminum plate think it turned out really well. I was too nervous to make the cut on the frame so I had a buddy who does the stuff for a living install the bumper, lift and all my lights under six hours.

Farewell. Don't come here as often as I once did and decided not to renew my supporting membership. Might swing by once in a while when I am on a PC.

Latest pics. Got a black skid plate and will use it most of the time. Will use the other one when off-road since its already dented.
