Removed my crash bars. Removed the plastic end caps on the Capable Bumper to get to the bars and decided to just leave them off. I think Iike it without the end caps. Installed the Asfir 4x4 cross member and transmission skid plates. Cross member install was a breeze. Transmission skid was a little aggravating laying on the garage floor. It took a few curse words to get it properly seated at the Sway Bar Disconnect end. The rear was tough to get fully tightened with those protective pocket washers. It felt like when the bolt got most of the way tight there was a clearance issue due to the lack of space between the bolt head and the washer. Maybe due to the thickness of my basic sockets??
Installed the Aeroskin II deflector and a sill protector from IAG.

Interesting. I didn't realize those were removable. Had to actually go look at mine to see what was missing.. 😂

Looks good!

Did you need to remove the bumper to get the end caps off?

I already tagged the back passenger side end cap on a boulder and wanted to pull them all off but I wasn't sure if I could remove them without javing to drop the entire bumper.

I Put in my ss5 (driving pro) and ssc2 (spot pro) Diode dynamics ditch light set. I put two on one side. The light is assymetrical due to my snorkel. I intend to put an external vandal type IP68 latching switch on the outside of the bracket so I can use the backlights as map lights when im doing stuff on my hood. If you have a bracket that screws to both accessory holes note the side towards the hook is 3mm lower than the outside. I put a steel washer between the bracket.to level lighrs netter

How are you liking the SS5 a pillar lights, and what bracket did you use? I am planning on having SS5s as well and I want to make sure I buy a well fitting bracket. One that I can attach an an antenna to as we as the light.

I did not remove the bumper to remove the end caps. It is a bit of pain to get to all the bolts though(~10 per side??). Turning the wheel all the way or just pulling the wheel off makes it way easier to get access. There are also a couple zip ties holding wiring that have to be dealt with.

That's super awesome. Even the little sport. I'm fond of those little guys for whatever reason.

Installed the husky rear cargo protector and Mictuning rear seat protectors. I was actually super impressed with the quality of velcro on them.

Then immediately packed it for a dual sport camp trip I am doing this weekend.

I could def pack more shit if the bed wasn't setup but I don't need much more and it will be really nice rolling in tomorrow and not worrying about anything but cracking a cold one.

Not today but last Thursday I I gave up on ever getting my Heritage order and bought an unclaimed race red Big Bend (v6, Sasquatch, tow) for msrp less $2800 “wait” rebate. Bird in the hand and more than the base I originally ordered (should have just kept that order). Took a 600 mile “break-in trip to the mountains and have been buying parts….​

Well, the audio bug finally sunk its teeth deep enough for me to finally stop ignoring it and do something about it. So, I swatted it with a pair of Alpine S-S40 in the pods, R-S65C.2 Components for the Kicks and the crossover tweets in the corners. Also, tighten and added a crapton of dynomat to the rear. Keeping the stock sub and amp for now.

Came out very well. The sound is head and shoulders better than the stock B&O, and the bug is laying unconscious on the floor.

For now..........
