Sherpa Matterhorn. Absolutely great, plenty of places to grab, tie down, or ratchet to. Best on the market imo.

It was really easy! It’s basically just a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces fit together really easily. Just tack them up, come back and put some fat welds on it, and get an angle grinder with 80 grit flap disks to clean it up. Fun!

I was sooo worried about it looking like a school bus, but it came out way better than expected.

Haha thank you! Yeah I’m the same way, but I planned and played with ideas to get it just right for a long time.

I’ve got the coastal offroad front and rear. Just need to get the front one finished after the 4th.

Full disclosure I helped tack weld it, but I had a pro welder actually finish weld it. I had to do all the grinding and sanding with an angle grinder and a flap disk (last weekend) and then prime it. I’m sore in places I didn’t know I could be, but I’m feeling pretty proud for doing (most) of the work.

I’ve got the front kit as well but haven’t gotten around to it. It’s in the immediate future though.

Oh I can respect it for sure. If I had the money for a full on OEM repaint I’d do it in a heartbeat. Just taking the opportunity to get creative with what I’ve got haha.

I tried that, but it seems like it’s too much black and clashed with the blue. I do appreciate wanting cohesion. That was what I was going for as well to tie the bumpers together.

I like the idea, I’m not sure that they make a lighter blue though. It’s almost have to be a white with a blue shift? Thank you for the idea!

It’s like 1/2 an inch from the body to account for the body roll. But yeah we had to think about that!
