Looking good. Let us know how it fits stock bumper with “gray plastic air piece” removed (including lots of pics). That’s what I plan to do once the snow melts. BudBuilt front aluminum skid, black powder-coated aluminum, so it would be great if yours offered a powder coat option!

Thanks for the pics! Sounds like a great way to spend a week. I’m going to start with 265/70r17s next week, then expo ones and maybe a ss budbuilt front skid in the spring, then TBD on bumper cut, depending on how she rides on moderate trails with those mods.
