Yes I was able to retain the facotory Mojave skid plate. I plan on going with aftermarket lighting up front as this bumper doesn't have provisions for the factory lighting.

Oh hah, I didn't mean mirror image like opposite direction, I meant what you see from the windshield mounted mirror.
Good looking bumperJust had the Mojave regeared to 5.13 and added an Adams 1350 front driveshaft today. I had Rebel Off-Road in Orange County do the work. When I got home I had a present on the driveway. My Barnes 4WD Prichett Canyon front bumper arrived. Time to get it painted and installed and add my SuperWinch SX10000 which has just been sitting in the garage.
Thank you Jeeper.
Haha....My view is about 70% blocked. I can see the lower portion of the rear window and out past the tailgate.
Your bumper came out great. I stopped getting stuff powder coated ages ago and now I paint everything that will scrape rocks. I totally agree with you. It's just so much easier to touch up and you only have to worry about the area that scraped.
what are your thoughts on the apex steering booster kit?
Install wasn't too bad. Instructions said it will be a 4-5 hour job. My friend and I had it installed in about 3 hours. I set the pressure to 1800psi (1500-2000 is considered safe).
Thats good to hear. I’m looking to do the same, so after you get it back on the trails, I’d like to hear your thoughts on that too.
Did you drill out both the top and bottom bushings of the front shocks? If so, did you have any trouble with the bottom bushing spinning?A few pictures of the new 2.5 Fox Performance Elite Resevoir DSC shocks. Love the adjustabilty of these shocks and didn't sacrifice any performace from the Mojave Shocks minus the internal bypass feature. I had to drill out the bushings on the front shocks only because the Mojave Gladiator uses M14 bolts and everything is designed for the JL/JT which uses M12 bolts for the front shocks.
Yes I had to drill the metal sleeves inside the bushings out larger on top and bottom. I thought it would be easy and it was a huge pain in the butt. The heat created from drilling melted the bushings a little. It was a slow and frustrating process for me. I didn't run into a spinning issue, just a heat issue.
How do you like the Fishbone? Heard some negative things about the loc washers etc but there is bad stuff about EVERYTHING. I think it looks pretty great. I called and they said it only weighs 97lbs - does that seem accurate?My rack mount is from Fishbone Off-Road and is called thier "Tackle" rack 1/2 height. I bought it through Quadratec on a sale before Christmas. It was one of the first modifications I added.
