Update:

Painted all of my wiper arms. The paint was peeling of of them and they were looking pretty rough. As usual I painted them with bedliner:

Also bedlined the front tow hooks:

Today I just ordered a Westin Safari bar and mounting brackets! It will be in on Friday and will get it on Saturday while I'm off.

Awesome job! And I like that LS1 sitting next to it.

Now for the lights. (still have to wire them up. Please check my thread out in the electronics section):

While deciding if I wanted to add this, I kept trying to find a picture taken from the side to see how far out from the bumper they stick. Well I never found one, so here is one for anyone in the future with the same question:

Overall the Jimmy is coming along the way I want it and the addition of the Bull Bar, was definitely a positive upgrade I think.

Let me know what you think.

Dang looks awesome!

tmurph01 Apr 9, 2010 09:07 PM

Thanks. I still have some tweaking to do before it is centered, plus I still have to hook the lights up.

sporty_drew Apr 9, 2010 09:10 PM

I'll come over and help. I'll do all the work too. Might just tweak it until it looks like it's on mine lol. I am envious :)

Just get one.

All together, inclucding the bar, mounting brackets, and lights, It cost me roughly $150 from a local truck supply shop.

Phil Apr 13, 2010 04:26 PM

Dang, what kind of lights are those? I like.
