That looks awesome! I am on the fence on whether to do this with my stock wheels or to buy aftermarket with a better offset. What size tires are you running and have you modified the suspension at all?

It'll look great on your rig. Looking forward to seeing that in person.
Last time I did some last minute "maintenance" the day before we were going to Orlando (universal sutdios).....I ended up having to rent a car!My ARB drawers arrive tomorrow. Now all I have to do is install them and pack for the beach, we leave at 5:30 Saturday morning.
The funny part is that the thought crossed my mind...."what if I actually screw up this simple thing.....wouldn't that be ironic..."
I must have planted the seed in the cosmic universe - because I pulled a bone-head move and actually stripped the transmission drain plus while using a torque wrench!
Because torque wrenches don't warn you that you misread the torque spec! When I felt it go, my heart sank and I thought I was on candid camera. I was speechless......and then I wasn't....cursing up a storm that would probably have gotten me tossed out of the filthiest of truck stops!!

And ... after all ... the ARB instructions are renowned for being clear and concise - so there's no possibility of confusion during the install ...

Two questions, any recommendations to source OEM glass. And any recommended installers in Denver metro?

I replaced the windshield on my previous 2014 200 last year. I went to one dealer and they outsourced to Satelite. I didn't want to go that route, so I starting doing some research on local glass installers.
I used Absolute Auto Glass in Denver and they were great to work with. At the time, they had three different suppliers for the 200 glass. I don't remember all three, but do remember Pilkington and Fuyao. Only reason I remember is because I noticed the windshield wiper heater didn't work a month or two after the install. I gave them a call and they told me to bring it in. They tested the heater with me, and sure enough, it was only heating directly in the middle (not on the sides). So, he said they would replace it at no cost. I've heard good things about Pilkington, but they suggested going with Fuyao since the previous Pilkington was defective. They replaced and I never had an issue with it. They do great work, seem very knowledgeable, and were very price competitive. I just found them researching on Google and Yelp, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Great info - thanks for sharing! I'll hopefully not need to use it, but you never know in CO.

I just had my windshield replaced Wednesday. Geico recommended Safelite so I figured I'd give it a shot. It's going to get cracked again due to s***ty roads here anyways. Decent quality glass. Plus, it was only $50 deductible.

You might be hosed in Denver right now. After that hail storm in Golden last week the wait list for windshield repair is insane.
Yes, they are disposable items out here.

Once you fill those drawers, and discover the larger, flat floor combine with the 2nd row folded down (but not forward)...you'll wonder how you ever got along WITHOUT drawers!

Uh oh! I hereby request to the Hail Gods that you don't have another hail storm like that next week...or during our Break trip!!
-Can you imagine: FORTY 200's show up in Golden at Slee...and ALL get smashed with hail??
