I also have a steering stablizer to install and an EVAP cannister relocation kit to install, plus a bunch of electronics.

Shrockworks is some really nice stuff. Someone I wheel with quite often has the shrockworks rocker guards and rear bumper......awesome stuff....

Some updates.

Shrockworks screwed me by delaying my bumper for 8 weeks, then telling me I'd have to wait another 4 weeks. So i said screw it and built my own winch bumper. I used 3/16" 2x5 rect. tubing for the main cross member. Added a winch 1/4 winch plate behind in and welding it to the cross member and bolted it to the frame rails. Then I added some shackle tabs to a 1/4" plate and bolted to the front. Finally, put on some hi-lift jack mounts so I could bolt it direcdtly to the bumper.

I also made some control arms skids plates. The front control arms are pretty exposed and I've seen where guys fold those whimpy factory axle mounts over. So.....I beefed 'em up.

Fabbed them out of some scrap 3/16" steel plate.
