Thank you!

The install took perhaps an hour. That does not include wiring up the light; I already had an upfitter wired down there ready to go so it was a simple matter of connecting it up (switch 3 since the bar draws around 10amp continuous 15amp peak).

In theory you could do this yourself, but I wouldn't try. Its much easier to have someone support the OEM from up top as you remove the bolts from underneath. And the same is true when bolting back in the ADD. You could rig some supports or straps instead I supose, but if you've got a buddy or ladyfriend at home, in exchange for a few minutes of help throw either a kiss ;)

As for cost, as you see mine its in the $1200 range plus shipping.

Hope that helps and thanks again!


Thank you sir...this is my next purchase! :waytogo:

$1200.00 plus ship with the light???


Looks real good!!

Thanks!

Nope just for the bumper. These lights are expensive ... $700 give or take. But that's the only negative about them that I can tell so far. Very very nice piece.

One more question, the side pieces look to like that can be removed, have you done so yet, BigJ? if so, do you have pics? :) If not, could you remove them and post pics? Because i am still trying to figure out which bumper i want, between the Wicked SSB, this ADD Venom, and SDHQ is teasing us with photos, it's going to be a tough decision. But after seeing the venom bumper on your ride, it's gained a bit of a lead.

Ok you got it. I was thinking on pulling that passenger side off anyway, to fix the bend. It'll be next week though since I'm leaving for Mojave here any minute. I'll update ya in a few days with a bunch of pics!

Big J, tell us about that compressor you have stashed behind the grill?
Here is everything you ever wanna know about the odyssey behind that compressor. Grab some popcorn and dig in ;)

So what replaces the stock front skid plate? is it open there now?

Ill get better pics over the next few days to show, but you can kinda see it under there and you can definitely see it in the pics with the bumper on the ground. The ADD comes with a steel replacement skid bolted around its rim to tube reinforcments that are welded to the bumper, and all that bolts to the holes used by the OEM skid. The ADD is a bit narrower, but much much stronger.

That looks great, of all the bumpers here this one has me the most tempted, (albeit not anytime immediate).

I wonder if it'd look as good with a pair of D2s on either side of a license plate in the center? My city and neighboring areas commonly run "front plate enforcement crackdowns".
