Bimrunner Build Thread & Pics
I wasn't planning on having a build thread but after thinking about it I think it might actually help some people. I don't have a ton of spare time and skill to do a lot of things others on here do, but I have made the search function my friend and accomplished a lot in one year. From stock 2013 LE to what I have now and I smile every time I drive! This is my daily driver, weekend warrior, family wheeler, overland vehicle, and camp truck. Personally, I love it. Everyone has different needs and likes so you might like some things and hate others but that is what is so great about these vehicles: there are lots of options for you.
So far I have accomplished the following:
Armor:
4x4 Labs front bumper
4x4 Labs sliders
4x4 Labs rear bumper
RCI skids including fuel tank skids
Suspension:
All Pro +2 Long Travel Front with CVJ axles
Califab long travel rear with MetalTech HD LT springs
Custom long travel 2.5 Kings with RR
Recovery:
Warn VR-10000 with synthetic rope
On board air:
ARB Twin Compressor
Roof Rack:
Bajarack flat utility rack
Lights:
Rigid Industries SRQ2 Amber Fogs
Rigid Industries SR-30 Behind front grill
V-LED low and high beams
Superbright LED swap for interior
LED light bolts for rear lic plate
Nitro 4.56 Gears
ARB Front & Rear Lockers
Kodiak Industries Dual Battery setup
35x12.5x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers
Hutchinson Beadlock wheels
Sound:
Pioneer HU with NAV
Rydeen 360 camera system
Sub and Amps
DC Power upgraded Alternator (and big 3 cable upgrade)
Tints including sunroof and front windshield strip

First In!!!!!
Looks good. And now I have a question. I think I am having a front diff issue and thinking this might be the time for new gears and some lockers. I mean if the front needs to be cracked open why not do everything at the same time.
Who did you have do yours? (PM me rough price too if you are willing) I am looking at East Coast Gear Supply but have yet to send out an email. If there is someone that is highly recommended near by that is a good price I will lean that way.
Are the 4.56 the way to go so I can go slightly larger in tire size and not be bogged down.

Before I opened this thread I was drawing a blank for my Christmas wish list. Thank you for making a lot of other folks spend their money wisely!

email luke at [email protected]. I think he quoting $1500 and is getting it ready for CNC press parts so production can be faster.

Email luke as in the above post. He should be ready now for orders (if not now, very soon). I believe all the CAD work is done and everything is dialed in. You'll have to ask him about price. These things are bomb proof! They are attached via u bolts and have ribs in them to keep it sturdy. However, they do weigh a few pounds.

No cutting whatsoever. But, you do have to relocate the washer fluid resi and do a little custom reworking of the low pressure power steering lines as this bumper gives absolute maximum clearance but if you don't do those two things 1. it will look stupid 2. you will bust all of those things. Not hard to do btw.

Do you have a pic of the sliders with some doors open? Looks like it wouldn't need the trail trim at all.
