Thanks. There are quite a few throughout the build thread... If you want anything specific, I have a few thousand pics...

I saw all the pics in the thread so far and it looks awesome. I would just like to see a few more from a few different angles showing the whole bumper since its been finished. The build progress and the little teaser shot looks great!

So it was basically a kit you got from labs that you welded together? Was it an option to order the bumper fully welded already? I know the fit is probably perfect with yours whereas an already welded one might not be to the same degree. Regardless it's an awesome design and looks great. :bravo:

Pages 1-15 have lots of fully completed shots. The ones on page 16 are from another member who got a kit and welded it. My rig was the design rig and has been done for 14 months. Let me know what angles you want and I'll snap them for you if you don't see what you need. It can be ordered fully complete from 4x4labs. I'd didn't do a kit. He has a 14 TE he is adapting the design to at his shop right now.

Got tired of the stock HU and weak sound system:

3.5" Kicker CS in dash
6x9 Rockford Fosgate in front doors
6.5" Rockford Fosgate in back doors and tailgate
10" Kicker Comp sub in sealed box
Alpine class D 445u in-line amp
Alpine 500m sub amp
Pioneer 8000NEX

Big improvement in the sound department even though not audiophile level good! Rydeen 360 Camera is 1000% better on that screen too. arty:

^what did you have for stock? Did you have navi? If so I'd be intersted in buying.

Yep. Pm sent. It's yours for the asking if you can make it work in your rig. Pretty sure if you didn't have navi, it may or may not work.

Thanks again Ben, I really appreciate it. I hooked it up and it's an upgrade for sure. I just have to do some homework to see how I'm going to hook up the steering controls, aux/usb, mic and party mode. Other than that everything works perfectly.

By the way, your rig is awesome in person!

Don't think I saw this in the recent pages but how much are the sliders going for? Love the fact they sit up high with no rocker trim.

I believe between 900-1000. They aren't cheap, but they are stout and worth every penny in my opinion.

Bimrunner is correct. Give it a few and those with KDSS will have that option. Luke is almost done fitting up sliders on my 14 with KDSS.

What did you do for the washer bottle, did you relocate or just remove. Saw the relocation kit from Shrockworks, but damn, there's got to be a cheaper alternative.

Expedition One makes a relocation kit. That's the one Luke recommended to me. Just haven't coined out for a washer bottle yet. I've a spray bottle of washer fluid I keep inside with me for the time being.

My error in your favor...collect my apologies. I swore I had looked through your build thread and saw all the pics...but apparently not. Just productively spent the last 45 min at work parusing your thread. You have an amazing T4R! I will be looking into having 4x4labs build my bumpers when the time comes. I really wish I lived back in the West for proximity to mountains and great trails and great fab shops. In a few years I may be back there. Until then, I will live vicariously through you and the great shots you post. Cheers!

cool, but spendy at $180. really wish you didn't have to give up the secondary battery location too

 

[Rorck]

Would it be possible to use the existing washer bottle and make some sort of a bracket behind the intake?

Most likely but that is where my compressor is mounted. I didn't try but the stock resi is strangely shaped and large enough it might not work even in that spot.

Yeah I know what you mean. At one point I felt the need for a dual battery, but I don't ever go wheeling without any one else. So the need to run a dual battery right now is fairly limited right now. A fridge would be the only thing I could see really needing one for. I currently have a Yellow top for now. Worst case scenario, go with the dual setup that Kodiak sells. The one that runs two odyssey batteries in the stock location.

Like Ben said. The stock washer bottle is very oddly shaped. I've thought about buying a bottle from summit racing and making my own. Just haven't had the time. Working nights, and School during the day makes buying parts so much easier then fabbing parts.

This. That's hitting the nail on the head. Oh and my fairlead from Luke showed up! I'll get some pics next week. Hardware didn't get into the box before it got dropped off at usps haha. So he's getting that in the mail to me today.
