Dude, that thing looks great. How am I going to park next to you at work now?
Ha! Thanks, bro. Your LX is a beauty. I'd be happy to park next to it anytime!
 
Luke has less than half of what he offers on his site. lol he is designing me a belly pan for my 80 as well...
Bummer. If they were, I probably would've bought them during the group buy. I know it's a small company, but a complete web site is key.

Yeah. He hasn't updated it in a very very long time... I'm actually not sure why he doesn't. He told me he was working on a new site but that was a year ago.
 
good looking rig styl007, great clearance on that new front bumper!

bimrunner- those sliders look like they tuck up real nice
 
Luke makes sliders. I have the front, rear and sliders... Just saying.

I noticed that you twisted the AC dryer over.
Ingenious...
Tell me, was it very difficult?
Did you push it up and twist?
This is my next mod.

Twist gently and a slight tuck up onto the top of the frame rail. Just be careful and make sure your lines aren't kinked. Worked great and no problems running the AC in the hot CA valley. Not difficult.

Are you using the stock bracket and using the top stock hole and drilling a new one for the lower once "twisted" into place? (does that makes sense?)

I think it's just tucked and twisted, no drilling or unhooking or anything required...
 
Yeah, figured you knew those bolts need to be taken out since that whole part of the body gets cut out. :doh: Then at that point,
it's just tucked and twisted, no drilling or anything required...
except removing the bracket.
 
Bimrunner,

Would you mind taking some close-up pics of your lines, please?
 
A picture is worth a thousand words...
Yes pictures please.
 
I'll take the pics, since it's really my rig, I just let @Bimrunner think it's his.. :flipoff2:

Thank you sir!!
 
Thank ya kindly! That helps a lot.

Did you have any trouble with any of the bumper's mounting holes? On my passenger side, the top holes lined up, but not the bottom. I'm going to grind the openings so I can fit the fasteners, but wondered if anyone else had this problem. My ARB fit fine and my rig hasn't been in any wrecks.

I had that issue. Had to enlarge the holes a bit. My AOE went on just fine however. I attributed it to sight imperfections when dealing with a handmade product. No biggie
