I thought of doing that but many people told me not to put a roofrack and others who have said "go for it!" tell me to stick to ARB!

Racks are relatively easy to make. Find a welding shop in Kuwait City, they have plenty skilled welders and probably you are going to save $$. Find a style you want, take them to the shop and I'm pretty sure that they can build it for you. I'm planning on build my own.

I know a place and already took designs to him a year back! As for cost you are definitely right! ARB bumper would cost $1000 in Kuwait while a custom made one would be between $300-600 depending on the work!

I was going to get a custom made bumper for about $600.00 but found a place that can get me an ARB for $760.00 which is great price for Puerto Rico.

I got both my bumpers done for KD850 (approx $3000) which is what it would have cost me to get ONLY the rear ARB bumper with 2 tire carriers!

This was from my Sunday outing, not too extreme, however I destroyed one of my rear tires on that small step. Time for 4 new ones!!! The rear ones were pretty worn and the front were half way worn. Can't complain one new ARB bumper and 4 tires in less than a week, yes!!!!!

It grows on you, doesn't it
Color depends on angle and camera exposure, cameras have a terrible time with the texture and shine in the high altitude sun.

So true. Wheeler Lake trailhead is a mere 20 minutes from some good grub and in Breckenridge when the day is done

Not an expert in NC foliage but with those Pine needles it looks like he is down this way a bit towards Fayettestan. I would be interested as wel if this is just a little jut off of a parking lot or anew place to wheel.

Landcruisers are tough, here in Iraq as well as all over the world they are used frequently not only for regular driving but for security vehicles. I see beat up cruisers all the time here and brand new fjs all the time, in among the private security here in I raq up armored landcruisers are used a good majority of the time.

(the winch cable screw fell so the entire cable came out), and so I used the ARB snatch strap and the help of a friend in a 100 series! 
Nay
