Yeah, hanger is stock, no shims on the front, it's just 4* off, but no death wobble either.

of course, when you don't drive it on the road very much, who cares about 4*.

Surprisingly it doesn't shake at all though. Made it from Rubicon to Tracy no shakes.
I really think it is the BB's in the tires.

[THK Matt]

Yep, it's where my wife started out, and eventually ended up going back to.

[MiniSimp]

So I dropped my bumper off at my cousin's work and he is going to see if he can powdercoat it today. He might not have the time, but if he does, it'll look pimp.

Sounds good. The only thing that has really changed is everything north of Grant Line and west of Corral Hollow.
In the next 5 years they are putting in a golf course and resort/condos in the fields south of eleventh before lammers.

[THK Matt]

[MiniSimp]

Bumper is powder coated!
Nothing like gettin something done for free. He used paint that was for a heavy duty motorcycle frame.

[Gittinit]

Thats gonna be hard to touch up when you scratch it at the mall.

Or maybe not...I'm sure you could get some black nail polish while you're there. 









J/K.....It looks pretty SICK! 

[DeadlyPeace]

Look good on there.











Now you just need to polish up the truck so it matches the bumper

[*** YELLER ***]

YO MINI YOU CANT POLISH A TURD 'CAUSE IT WILL ALWAYS BE A TURD.... NOW GET THE DOORS DONE AND IT WILL STILL LOOK LIKE A POLISHED TURD 

[MiniSimp]

.... NOW GET THE DOORS DONE... 

I thought about doing the doors, but those get messed up quick. Besides, then I would want to do the sliders, and I'm not cutting those off!

[unclejpl4x4]

bumper looks darn good on there.

[skipnrocks]

Bumper is powder coated!

Is that glitter in the paint?? 


Make sure you find the proper glitter when you have to touch it up!!   


LOL jk,  looks cool man!!  glitter and all.

[unclejpl4x4]

I think it's plant um stuff that floats in the air

[skipnrocks]

I know I was just pokin fun of the "glitter" paint!!  LOL

[fordh8r]

Who did the powder coat for ya? Looks like he does nice work  . I wouldn't mind giving the guy some business if he isn't too far away. 

[*** YELLER ***]

his cousin that lives with him  he got the "hook up" from his employer on a bumper coating
