I am ready to pull the trigger on a front bumper. I've largely landed on the ARB Deluxe, but was also looking at the Ironman Classic with the 25% discount. I've always loved the simple, clean looks of the T17. But I am concerned about winch capacity. Upper end appears to be a 9500 lb winch (TJM...

This is in North Carolina, yes? I'm hoping that I can start getting out starting June/July. Still some work to do on the truck to get it trail/distance ready. Please work is kicking my butt for the next few months.

Looks like a great collection of cruisers. Some interesting stuff there.

Time to replace my windshield. I'm going to go ahead and get all new trim pieces to do this right. This will include the upper windshield trim piece, the side windshield trim pieces, the side molding pieces, and the rivets. My question is on the two side trim pieces. They come in two different...

Thanks all. This is super helpful. I'll go with the Amazon/Rockauto Denso's. New plugs and coil packs were on my radar as preventative (190k miles), but this past weekend I had a misfire on cylinder #6. Looks like the right time to hit them all. Mark

I know there are several threads on coil packs, warning of the benefit of staying with OEM and the risk of going with anything else. I'm not arguing that point...I go OEM where I need to. What I am struggling with is differentiating between two Denso versions. OEM (Part # 90919-02259) is listed...

Haven't had Old Scout, but the Contradiction version is good stuff!

Not off road, but took the scenic route with some side runs on our trip back from Berkeley Springs this past weekend. The first pic (with the Cruiser in it) is of a low water bridge running over the Cacapon River outside of Great Cacapon. The second (without the Cruiser) is of the toll bridge...

I thought you were being figural when you said you went boujee. I didn't realize it was literal. That's great!

I went to this plate a couple of years ago. As small as our state is, I still wondered if the plate number would already be taken. I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm still trying to be easy on the truck until I get the front end refreshed, so nothing too janky, but I couldn't resist taking the long scenic way to a friend's house today with a little light offroading.

Very useful purchase!

A fair point, Mike, though I find that for some parts (infrequently sought?), it can take some time to explain what I am looking for over the phone. I have had more than a few long calls with my local dealer trying to nail down a part. Maybe that says more about my ability to provide a...

Thanks @suprarx7nut ! I'm usually better at digging into the parts diagrams. Clearly I failed on this one! Much appreciated.
