Rigger, truck looks great!
How much lift did you wind up getting?
did Christo recommend any tire sizes to compliment the lift.

Are your parking sensors working ok?

The sensors were in the Tupperware bumper. Slee moved them to the ARB. I don't think they work. I don't think they were working when I bought the truck. I'll have to look into this a bit.

Long story kinda. The truck already had OME springs on it when I bought it, so we just redid the front with OME heavies because of the ARB bumper. I think it lifted the front two inches. I did not discuss tire sizes with Slee, but I think I can fit 33's on it.
 
I relocated My parking sensors to this new all steel bumper and they go crazy if turned on. I haven't spent much time messing around with finding a solution. I'd like them to function.
 
Willy, did you mark the "top" position of the sensor before you removed them from the OEM bumper? I believe I have read that they only function properly if oriented in the "original" direction. I am sure Christo or Amory from Slee could chime in and verify.
 
I did. I thought I'd be home free...no bueno

Bumpin my thread - got my new boots on my RW's !!

Bumping my thread.

I got a FrontRunner rack. We started putting it together this evening. It's sort of a tedious process. One of the embedded nuts had some messed-up threads; slowed me down a bit. And one of the planks had some gluey stuff on one end that made it a fight to get it in.

Anyway, got the basket part mostly built. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow and maybe make more progress.
 
Thinking more about Cruise Moab 2016. I may be down there with my wife and four of the kids. So will be hauling some serious gear.

More progress
 
Awesome!

Just to clarify, they do make a full length version with a cutout for the sunroof, if I so desire?
 
You can locate the slats where you want, but you have to locate one over the sun roof because it attaches the basket to the side rails.
