Thanks
I'm taking it to Dallas this weekend to have the supercharger, gears, and locker installed. These will be the first things put on that are not going to be installed by me except the wrap. As soon as I get it back I'm going to start putting on the long travel kit, new light force roof lights, vision X interior and exterior lights, the swing out and new rear lower control arms. I'm also getting the stuff I need to play with the pressure in N2 shocks if anyone ever wants to check theirs.

Can you explain how the doors come off?

Trailbus1 did a good right up on taking them off and installing the tube doors here.

There are 2 plugs you unplug behind the kick panels. Then there are 4 bolts holding the door to the hindges and one bolt on the arm that keeps the door from opening too far. After that you take off the latch bar on the suicide door and replace it with a special bolt. Then bolt the tube door up the same way you took the factory door off.

Nice, I like the camo and the bumper

Is that the bumper we did with the big hoop for those lights? or is it normal size? I can't tell from the pics.
