Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."Thanks for that. I suspected the cut-outs would be small. I think I would take them into work and hole-saw larger openings especially for my cartridge filter, and add flush covers with flat-head screws. Already have a Boztec diff skid and Ricochet…"
Zaku65 replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."If you are going with steel skids then Budbuilt is probably the way to go. RCI skids in aluminum is what I have and I love them.

Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion LCT addition"I got lucky this weekend because my union contract gives us a 4 day Labor Day weekend and wife got sick so we could not do as planned so I had short notice ability to get up there. I would love to go up there again before the first bad weather kicks…"

- Hey Steve I have the same 2012 SE TT FJ. Can you send me or post photos with your black ARB bumpers? I’m considering them both front and back for my rig. Do you recommend them?
