Really enjoying reading about your build.
Can you link me to the RC dual steering stabilizer that you chose and what is your opinion of it so far?

DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to compare it to. I put it on the first night I had the Gladiator and had the 37s put on the next morning.
but with that said, I LIKE IT!
I've put 4000 miles on the 37s with it and no issues. easy install (I played a YouTube and paused at each step), NO WOBBLE, inexpensive. I figure even if I have problems with the shocks, I have the hardware now and just replace the shocks if I need to.

FOR ME: The $125.00 is well spent for MY peace of mind. MANY will say not needed, but I'm happy I did it.:like:

Bull bar looks great! Would it block access to a winch?

There's a plate on the front (where I mounted my front flag to cover the design cut into it that I didn't like).
You could probably cut it off, but I'm not sure it'd be worth it.

yeah you super happy about that 50" bar? thinking I'm liking that.
YUPYUP!
I wasn't a fan of the Quadratec mount though, too many laser cuts in it to keep clean.
I ordered a different mount from Amazon.
BUT, You don't have ACC do you? If I didn't, I'd probably go the inside bar.

It's not that I don't like it, don't forget, you're talking to me. :facepalm:
I'm the superficial one here, it's all about the appearance... :CWL:

So far, I have ABSOLUTLY NO wind noise from the bar. NONE! :rock:
I have some 'flapping' on the SunRider, but that is even settling in, just like folks said it would.:like:

Added some Ditch Lights.
In the public safety world they're called 'Alley Lights' or 'Intersection Lights'
They're at about a 30 degree angle.

Mounted only, not wired yet.
