Spring is short lived here in Louisiana but nice to capture a few shots just after daybreak. It's been dry here but still plenty of great riding. Loving the truck as well. Thanks to all for the great feedback as well.
Good morning stretch over a cypress tree - even picked up some Spanish...
Took the truck out to our gun range behind the house where my father brought out his new Rubicon. After seeing what I did on my LR4 he ordered up both front and rear ARB bumpers with Warn Zeon 8S and the slightly smaller ARB Intensity lights. Here's a few shots from yesterday:
My father just picked up a new 2017 Jeep Rubicon Hard Rock where it came with the Mopar 10th Anniversary Rubicon Bumpers. I've removed both the front and rear bumpers, skid plate and tow hooks where I've installed new ARB bumpers for him. All items noted work with any '07 to '17 Jeep...
Oh no sanding at all. Plasti-dip is made so you can pull it off if you don't like or want to change. On the last coat you ensure the edges are wet and pull up right away. I

One of the items I wanted to do was blackout of the raised portion of the hood. There are a few people out there that have created these; however, they do not cover the sides of the raised portion on the hood. I asked if they would change this and got a why would you do this as we've never had...
Great stuff David. Love your details in your posts. All great info. Good to know the noise is the same as it's quite noticeable when the pump kicks on.

You are too kind! Thanks again for all the help along the way. I feel like we have twin trucks just separated at birth. This is just the beginning. Let's see what's next in store for our beasts.
SUMMARY:
Overall I’m quite pleased and impressed in how everything came out despite the gaps on the bumper. Handling with all the weight has been negligible; however, I do notice the pump has to work a bit harder to get everything back in place on the suspension. One thing I don’t want to do...
Now time for the bottom of the 9th for the grand install - the new ARB Bumper with winch and lights.
ARB Summit Bar
I didn’t save this part to the very end for a reason as this was the item I was looking forward to the most. The delay on this was due to the amount of parts that had to be...
Plasti-Dip (Wheel Flares)
As I had the rear flares off for the bumper install I opted to go ahead with the plasti-dip. I actually went 2 weeks with just the rear flares painted as I was waiting on some key parts for the ARB bumper to show up that wasn’t accounted for in the original order. It...
Tactical Rovers Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier (and side steps)
First to install was the rear bumper. First impressions was quality pit of kit with some great welds/seems. Bumper was expected with weight but wow the sliders are quite heavy. To remove the rear bumper was quite easy. I opted to...
Quick introduction: My name is Christopher where I live in Louisiana just south of New Orleans; however, for the past 5 years I’ve been in Europe - UK to be exact just outside of London. I was lucky enough to have a new Defender 110 with the company while there but because of the import rules...
