I was not standing there when they ramped it. And the ramp was there just for fun, I dont believe anyone was taking measurements.
So to answer your question Not Sure.

Nice RTI shot! You can see my dumb ass wandering through the background on that first one. 
I have nothing to contribute other than I saw your rig at the swap meet, and it looked sweet.

Felix,
Thanks, but it's still a work in progress. We or should I say the IPOR guys still have a lot more mods they are going to do.

Nice, looks great!
I am curious how the ARB rear bumper comes out!Make sure to post pics when installed.
The painting of the grill is a great idea.

Update #1
IPOR has done and or is working on the following:
ARB rear bumper
ARB roof rack with lights
ARB Simpson III RTT
ARB Awning
Rashta Skid Plate
ARB Compressor
Dual Batt's
Cam and Vince did I leave anything out.
Once again I have to say that I am more then happy with the performance and customer service that I have received from the IPOR guys. I would highly recommend them for any and all of your Off-Road work.

Sbly, that looks fantastic. Like the whole setup. One question, is that a trim piece on the bottom hatch or a reflection?

To be honest with you I haven't seen my truck in 5 weeks. But I think Cam or Vince might be able to help you out.

Looks great....
I see you chose not to put the jerry cans or spare on the rear...I was thinking the same things....
What was your reasoning behind that?

12lb anti-theft device? What's that?
Can you explain what each of the switches do? I see one is an ON/OFF/ON toggle...what's that for?
Where is the 2nd battery? I don't see it in the pics...
Everything looks good (and yes you are a light whore...but it looks sweet!)
PS >> I wish my battery wiring were that neat -- with all the lights and accessories connected separately, mine looks like spaghetti compared to that!

The 12lb anti-theft device is the Jack Russell Terrier in the driver seat.
The switches are as follows:
Blue is the 3 way for the rear lights - off, on while in reverse and all on.
Green is for the bumper lights.
Red is for the compressor.
Orange is for roof rack lights.
Center is for the dual batt. (jump start).
The 2nd battery is under the top battery, the pic shows the location of the 2nd battery.

4 Peanut,
I have not received anything free, any discounts and or any compensation from IPOR in any way, so this is nothing more then my opinion based on my experience working with them on my truck.
I have been very happy with both IPOR's quality of work and their customer service and I would definitely recommend them for your 100 series build.

Updated #3
The small gray box with the red cover is the jump start connector.
The next update should have photo's of the additional power outlets located where the third row seats once were.
Vince, please feel free to jump in with the technical information.

Polarized connector. Anderson Power Pole or its private-label more moderately priced sister from SMH.

It lets me use a set of jumper cables without lifting the hood.

That's pretty cool!
So how are your dual batts set up?
Did IPOR rewire the systems so that one battery controls the ignition electronics while the other controls all accessories?
Or do both batteries provide power to the car as in if one dies can the other still be used to start?
Or are they switched inside: [ 1 | 1+2 | 2 ]
