| Skip the brush guard and lights. Sliders are a good idea | |

| yeah the brush guard will actually do more damage due to the flimsy nature of it...skip that and the lights...get the rock rails and spend the money on a lift, tires, interior leds..lol... | |

| A "brush guard" is useless. A new steel "bumper" is not useless! | |

| The Australians call a brush guard a "Roo-Bar" cause so many dang Kangaroos run out in front of vehicles on the road...hum, sounds like a brush guard could be useful for something else...oh yeah! a "Deer-Bar" and where I live (the deer capital of NC) if I get one, that'll be the reason. | |

This is only when it is a part of a sturdy bumper attached to the frame. A brush guard here in the US is not the same. It will do very little to help against a deer, or kangaroo if you come across one. |

| I have the brush guard...If I didn't have it already...would not add it. LIFT: if you are not getting a package, then I would go with Bilstein 5100 up front set in 4th position, rear springs (OME is what I have) and a set of 5100s for the rear. | |

I'm not wanting to go too extreme with my ride but I do plan on doing the 5100's up front. | |

| Mine is my daily driver so it needs to be road friendly. I have the previously mentioned lift items...Tires: Falken Rocky Mountain ATs 285s and have removed my rear sway bar. Gets me up and over most obstacles like Daniel Trail at URE...
sliders are a MUST for sure. | |

| Gents! I JUST ORDERED THE 5100's. Call it a Christmas present to myself...along with the tactical shotgun setup I bought a couple days ago. Does the doghouse have heat? Rocking chair? Hum...maybe I should've checked that out first... :-D | |

| It's ALL good...easier to ask for forgiveness...AND get her a GREAT present. I find jewelry works best. I went to Jareds... | |
