Noice, JarradB. I'm tossing between Bushwacker and Iceland Flares. Those look great.

So those fronts took the best part of a day to paint and fit, (whilst still running a business in between jobs). I think the rears will take just as long. I have to figure out how to adapt the rear to suit the protofab bumper so that will be interesting.

I have to say, the bushwacker kit so far has had fantastic instructions and the fit is incredible. It looks factory, clearance is great and whilst its a big job and a daunting thing taking to your fenders with an angle grinder, I'm VERY happy with the final finish.

You might have to cut a couple of inches off the Protofab, slowly and just shallow cuts so you could go round the edge possibly. Let us know how you go

This off Google

Nice pic....been looking for a close up like this. Most definitely going to have to trim the bumper which will certainly test my grinder (and patience) but ive done enough 'can't turn back now' type mods to not be nervous about cutting. I layed the first coat of paint down on the rears today and I reckon I'll have some time early next week to get them fitted up. Will post more pics when done.

They do look good, especially colour coded. Have you already trimmed back the sides of the ARB bar and have you put any thought into something to blend the end of the bar to the wider stance.

Arb bar lines up perfectly so no need to trim... If I went 33" or bigger I might consider cutting off the lower 'triangle' section. Not planning on doing anything to blend the bar to the width at the moment. Its actually not that obvious in the flesh and the thought of having to re paint the bar ism't a pleasant one. What is bugging me at the moment is the white section where the mudflaps normally are as it now stands out like dogs balls. I might mask it up an inch or so from the edge and slap some black on it.
