|  It feels weird saying this, but I upgraded to plastic
Plastic bumpers, that is. I installed the Pro bumpers and I believe they will be a huge upgrade. The old aluminum bumpers were a hindrance in my usual crawl spot. Hopefully I can get out there tomorrow.   |

Good looking rig! The logo detail on the grill is a nice touch. Those bumpers on my want list as well. |

Definite improvement. I found myself getting hung up less than usual. I'm not saying that the plastic bumpers are better in all cases, but they certainly are in my case. Here's a few pics from my morning.     |

Bumpers look great on there!  They remind my of my Wertymade bumpers that I have on my VS4-10 Origin. They helped tremendously! Nice crawl spot too!  |

| Re: It feels weird saying this, but I upgraded to plastic
The VFD case is plastic, so I guess that makes for another plastic upgrade. I remember last year telling my wife that the VS4-10 was expensive, but it wouldn't need upgrading. LOL  |

Imagine the challenge of designing upgrades for a truck that shouldn't need any  Glad you like the VFD and Pro molded components. I made the same changes to my Origin as soon as I had samples of the parts. Night and day difference on the trail. |

It'll be after Christmas before I get any time on the trail, but I expect that I'll be pleased.
