Well Uncle Sam was good to us this year and I was able to pay off the wife's van and some debt, so that leaves a little change in the pocket to finally do some upgrades to the runner. Only two options that I care for are cbi's and addicted offroad.
Pro to the cbi that I see is that it covers the winch, my dislike is the large cutouts in the front. It just doesn't flow well to me. Rear bumper dislike is having to move the spare tire. I don't think I would enjoy swinging the tire out every time I wanted to get something out of the back hatch.
Next is the addicted offroad. I like the way this bumper looks. My dislikes are that the winch is out in the open, don't mind the look of that, just seems it's not as protected as much that way. Wish they had round cut outs for driving/fog lights next to the blinkers. Rear bumper pro is that I can keep my spare where it was designed to go...out of the way!
Now for pricing. This is where I'm 99% sure I'm going with addicted. Cbi front and rear bumper come out to $1600 +tax and shipping. Addicted's complete hd package which includes front and rear bumper as well as sliders for $2020 shipping included. I don't need the sliders, but I truly don't need the bumpers either other than for a winch, but I figure the kids can use them as steps.
Now I have to chose what I want to finish them with. Originally was going to take everything in and get the line-x sprayed, but I'm thinking that all black might be too much darkness on my dark green runner. Not sure of the exact color, but the title office argued with me about it being blue, and finally settled on putting dark green on the title. Thinking of having all the armor and flares painted some shade of silver.
Anyone see any issue with the madness I have brought on myself?
