I guess your going to need to upsize the tires. No rubbing after all.

No way....that is exactly why I put the body lift on. Tired of rubbing, dont care to beat the hell out of the truck with a BFH. What I can tell you is some new meatier tires are in the future. When i bought what I have now, i had no idea how addicted i would become. Yes I am an addict.

Anyway, Brian, get that thing mounted up already! Then get Deryck to evaluate whether or not he and i need to retrofit the new latch in place of the giant bolt closure.

I hear ya. Pulled the old bumper and hitch on Wednesday, and will make an attempt at getting the new bumper in place tonight/this weekend. From what I have noticed is the connection with the new latch is different than the bolt style, but it is all metal and can be cut welded and shaped right!
Stay safe man! still looking to put a trip together to southern NM later this fall. Ill keep you posted.

Late night addition! Couldn't wait any longer!
I cant tell you how well this bumper fit. I put in on by myself in roughly 3-4 hours including all of the swing out assembly and tire carrier additions. Bumper is stout and has no movement on the swing arm. I am more than pleased - CBI makes a great product!

I opted for the rear quarter panel protection and the fold down camp table. Need to get a set of Rotopax for water and gas storage. Also need to fab up a license plate holder.

Little holiday weekend visit to Colorado to see the family. Got to get into some of the back country, though majority of the roads where closed for the year.

truck is looking badass man! Jealous of the bumper hoops, always wished I had ordered mine with them looking back at it.

Of course you would go to Colorado while I'm out of state too!

THANKS MAN! Had a blast in CO. It was a trip that i didn't plan and kind of just fell into with my project schedule getting delayed. 7 days of mountain air and snow is great for the soul!

Ill be back in the spring and summer for sure. Ill try to get a better notice out to see if you guys can hook up. May even try to make FJ summit this year.....
