Boy you guys are harsh, wouldn't expect anything less from you aholes haha! 
Did the ARB OBA over again and got in cleaner. Ran the wiring and found the ARB switch won't fit because the switches are all a new style and size. That's what happens when you haven't worked on anything in the 2000's I guess. Ordered a switch online that will work and waiting to put that in. Bumper is off and now I have to drain the power steering fluid and put on the new lines and cooler and fill it back up. After that is test fitting the bumper before I put the winch on it, then install the winch, bolt up the bumper and wire the winch.

Still have to drop the actual piece that is the bumper on the front that is covered in styrofoam.

Looks pretty mean with no front end..... Haha!
I really don't like plastic engine hats. I saw a partially blacked out new runner and was trying to figure out where the bumper stopped. Now I know.

Knocked it out last night. Fun without instructions! Just waiting for the new washer reservoir to show up.

I don't care for the plastic on top of the engine either, I don't see the point. Might yank it off of there shortly.
Yep that is a very nice bumper. Looking good G

Now I just gotta get out there with you guys and get some wheeling in! Have to find out how much ability I have lost in selling the 80. It's a give and take for sure, no more constant maintenance, really s***ty gas mileage (9 mpg vs. 15 mpg average) and now a very comfortable interior vs. the badass capability the 80 had. Time will tell!

Hahahahaha
I would like to see what happens to the crawl control in that situation, but then again IH8MUD!!!
The crawl control is strange... I don't like it. It feels like I have more control crawling using both feet instead of a computer.
Bumper looks good!

OK finished it up for now. Relocated the washer bottle with Shrockworks new one and got the new switch to turn on the OBA. Have a diff/locker breather kit to install still but other than that I should be good to go.
