C. I am sorry you had to wait so long for the bar, etc. Had mine for 2 1/2 months. Also have the skid plate, rear guard and hood handles. If you go wheeling you may do what I did, take the rear guard off and not put it back on!
Please tell me about the Rim size/backspacing, tires (37's?) and where did you get the front lights? I have seen them on the site before, but have not read anything about them.

Hard to tell from the pictures but does the rear guard have a "H" and a "2" on each side?

The front lights were from another member of the forum. Don't recall his name. They are cool but because they bolt to hard plastic and not steel, the road vibrations make the lights move a lot. I intend to modify with a new bracket at some point.

Not sure about the details on the wheels. Believe it or not, got them from the dealer!

The rear guard has nothing on it. You may be seeing the applique (SP) that go in the recessed part of the factory bumper. I can not remember where to get them. Should be easy to find. Thanks, will not get the lights.

I like the look of Manik rear ladder. Anyone know if you can install just the ladder without all the other tubes? and the price for the ladder?

Yes you can get just the ladder. I do not have it yet. Will probably order at some point. I did have the instructions faxed to me and it attaches to the lift gate.

How would that front bar look in black?
Would it BE possible to paint it black?
Mighty nice I think.

JCJ: The bars from Manik are polished stainless, not chrome. I do not know if they are paintable.

WhiteH2Kid: This bar mounts below the factory location so in order to open the hood the bar must be moved first. I puchased, for about 2 bucks, the factory H1 warning labels to tilt the bar before opening hood. They will go in a similar location to the H1.
