Chip's came out looking pretty slick (in fact his rig is the one in the logo at the top of the page & at xterradventures.com)
Take your time and care and it should turn out OK. ARB doesnt make enough money on a bullbar and they cant offer support on them - thats fair enough.
You asked for the "deal" and it was a "deal" for a reason I guess....
I think Chip's was done as a test subject before the XTerra version was finished.
