Sport S - Samsquanch build

[SSinGA]

I will look into this tonight, I'd imagine that's a cheaper option then I was going.

Clayton is the other one that has a tire clearance bend

Never heard of that one giving more spare tire clearance, but I know the Clayton does. I’ll try to find some photos.

Both of us stationed together. My ship is in the back.

Once I install it all I will update the pictures on the next post...

Beautiful Gladiator! Would you say the 37 inch Ridge Grappler is more at 36 "real" inches?

I measured them at 36.25 inches.

Well I’m home from deployment yet again for a short time ( 1.5 months) decided to finally take doors off. Mirrors and rain guard on the way.

 

[Whiskerbiscuit]

Back home from a deployment again, leaving again in a few days. but did some work.

New headlights, fogs, Fender chop and AAL fender liners for the front. Bumper and winch next I think. we will see.

The build is looking great!

Hopefully you've ordered and received your Schrockworks bumper. They went out of business a few years back and left several customers and order in limbo.

I've had mine since 2013 and it's held up very well.

ive been having the bumper debate with myself for a long time, i may just go the [Banned Site] simple bumper... home made. small, durable, and does the job.
