YES THE T&H IS BEEFIER. Thanks for the closeup too bobby.
Great work with the photoshop. I am only concerned with the fact that i wouldn't be able to mount the piaa's on the T&H. But, if the new model has diff mounting brackets for the lights, i would sell the westin in a minute. I mean lets be serious here, after comparing bobby's to mine, there really is a diff in toughness. Two mounting points vs. four, and thicker metal.
So, in light of this new revelation, if they do come with new mounting points for the lights, i will be chasing bobby again and put on the T&H.

Just thought that i would give a heads up on the install of this thing. It mounts very level on the undercarage, just that you will def need to use a air wrench to loosen the bolts where they connect to the frame.
Just an FYI

Yup no sweat. I ordered mine a couple of days ago so hopefully it'll arrive next week.
How about a 4 1/2 hour commute?
A couple years ago, prior to getting my 4runner, a bad ice storm hit Dallas ( get them about every other year or so). Needless to say, we don't have a lot of sand trucks in these parts. I was driving my 4WD Trooper and it took me 4 1/2 hours to go 27 miles on a sheet of ice. I was really glad I had stopped in the bathroom on the way out of work and had a full tank of gas. Now when the wife calls to tell me an ice storm is on the way, I pack up my laptop and head home.

Re: How about a 4 1/2 hour commute?
Oh, I forgot to mention that part of my commute. I was stuck in this traffic with less than 1/2 a tank of gas and the defroster needed to be on high because of the windshield freezing. I made it home with the gauge a little above the empty line (gas light wasn't on). I was freaking out watching the gas gauge inch closer and closer to E! Now, whenever they even forcast ice or snow, I will always make sure to have a full tank of gas. Don't want to have that feeling again! :repuke:

Yeah, my wife kept calling me to check in about every 30 minutes asking how it was going and where I was. I'd reply, "I'm about a mile south of Hebron Parkway". Thirty minutes later, "I'm about a half mile south of Hebron Parkway". I was ready to jump out of my skin by the time I got home. I'm not sure what is worse, the infrequent ice or the yearly hail storms. I had about $5K in hail damage done to my Trooper the same year.
