If you want to take a stab at making your own bumper we have a welder at my house. I am going to have to start collecting money for torch gas and wire use though...
it flew off...Quote:

Like I said Sunday, I'll be up there the 21st-24th and would be glad to bring one back with me to save you the shipping...Quote:

The FabFours looks really beefy but doesn't have any protection for the lights or hood. I'm not sure what kind of discount they'll give, but they're kinda pricey.
APOR also has a pretty sweet looking rear bumper.
I thought Marlin was supposed to be getting a FJ and come out with some stuff but maybe I'm confusing that with All Pro.
Best looking FJC in town :gigem:
i like the expo one - the bent up one is cool but not sure how i like the headlight rings. i would get specs on material thickness on them - and prices. if they are big diff in price that could def sway me. also talk to the biz and see how helpful they are.
i also noticed how much print rj and greg got - pretty cool
Nice play! Speaking of which, when was the last time you took Norm out wheeling?Quote:

1. Do not use credit cards.
2. I like the three you have chosen. Right now, with them all looking good an none of the three sticking out, you need to factor in price AND how far each of them stick out from the front of the truck. Approach angle is huge in rock crawling.
3. Don't worry about that so-called performance ****. (cat back, k&n, etc) If you are going to wheel something that nice, you NEED protection. Before you go on any real trips (and damange your current armor), I'd get front and rear bumpers and rock sliders. Keep your stockers nice so you can Ebay them to recover some cost.
4. Ride with someone in Clayton, OK this October to see what goes on during a REAL trip.
:laughing: yeah right! :flipoff2:Quote:

Me, I tend to do pretty well for my money, I am a senior, haven't taken a loan yet, school is getting paid for, and I am making the monthly payment on this FJ too. Mainly because of credit cards and qualifying for great financing.
I do hope to go to Clayton with ya'll and see some rock crawling.
By don't use them, I mean don't run up a balance. I understand the benefits of good credit. I did , afterall, get a new house right out of college that is too much of a chunk of my income. I owe that to credit cards and building up credit, I guess. :flipoff2:
so is don't "use your credit cards" the new "don't wheel a full-size"?
