Sucks, needs to be thrown away in a garbage can near my house, lol.

As a Jeep man I am no Defender liker. Have seen them wheel though and they are though. Your cage is the best one I have ever seen made for a scaler. Same goes for your bumper. I would almost buy a real Defender for a setup like that, almost. "thumbsup"

rcjeepbuilder 10-09-2008 03:11 PM

Im really into defenders as well as jeeps. I own a jeep due to the price of defenders in the states!
Otherwise I would own a defender!!!!

pigeonfarmboy 10-09-2008 03:34 PM

Looking good! I need to do this to mine. The rack is so sweet! Is the bumper just square stock?

30percent 10-09-2008 03:42 PM

Super nice! Love it! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Stormin2u 10-09-2008 04:36 PM
