I ordered mine from Northridge4x4. They weren’t discounted but Northridge did have a $100 off coupon at the time and free shipping. Beyond that, I think they might be price controlled. You can order the RSE steps individually, so maybe it’s possible to save more if you split it up?

As for the table…I mean, you know you’ll add one eventually! . Just sayin’!

True. Yea Quadratec Northridge and Morris are free shipping guess that’s the best deal to be had in them

It’s our way of making ourselves feel less bad about spending the money ourselves!

Somehow it does “Feel” better to spend that much on something operational than just bent steel lol

Been reading about RSE install seems like a bear? 6-7 hours??

Ted392 · Jun 4, 2023

There are good RSE videos out there on installation. I came really close to buying them, but I decided to go LOD's. Super happy with them.

There’s just more to do because of the wiring, but none of it seems harder per se.

The wiring portion doesn’t look bad at all but I’m guessing that is where most time would be spent.

The Northridge install video on YT is actually really well done, if you haven’t seen it yet.

I went the LOD Armor Lite as I wanted the protection with less weight for the once a year rock crawling I may do. Added the skid plate too and my wife (5’4”) has been very happy with the steps.

I think in the end it depends on how long you want to keep the vehicle too. I tend to switch my lineup every 3-4 years but see me keeping this 392 longer than normal and I didn’t want to deal with electronic issues over time. Sometimes I actually follow the Keep It Simple Stupid rule.

Several commented on how they loved to hear me start it up! I said me too I still get excited everything time

Started prepping for bumper install as they arrive tomorrow. I don’t want to lose the BD SAE fogs so my plan is mount them on top of the bumper using the OEM fog light wiring along with the LP6. My plan was to move the XL80s to the A pillar and wasn’t sure what to do with the squadrons but saw a post on BD Instagram today so figured I would try this. I had them wired to the same AUX switch anyway. I will evaluate wind noise and make sure they don’t flop but they feel sturdy.

@WhiteBronze392 · Jun 7, 2023

Getting there! Waiting on a new fairlead and fairlead light mount for the Squadron R fogs and need to clean up wIring. Then on to the rear! Going to swap the bolts on the rings for the black ones I have.

I love that bumper..... but I suspect you'll get a lot of splash off the hood with those forward facing lights at the A pillar. Especially with a white Jeep. But it looks pretty awesome.

Thanks very much man! I haven't tested the XL80s being on the A pillars yet but when it was just the squadron pros I got some but not too bad being amber. I may still play around with locations if so.

I dig the front bumper...! What fairlead did you end up going with?

Also, did you get your M.O.R.E. skid plate yet? I'm waiting to order until I hear your opinions on it. I'm still torn between it (most likely) and the NVM full belly skids.

Did you decide which way you’re going to go with the rock sliders?

Thank you! Just the Warn Epic (the one I meant to order before lol) that has a flat top so it won’t stick up over the bumper. I started to order factor 55 but needed black.

Yep it arrived Tuesday as well. I will tackle it probably Saturday after I finish the bumpers but may take the weekend off lol.

Yep ordered the GenRight steel ones yesterday. They were super cool and still honored the Memorial Day free shipping for me which would have been $480

I will put some grip tape along the top to aid in traction to step and cross my fingers
