Greetings all,

For those that might remember me from way back when, I'm in the process of selling my Unimog, and I'm going to put some money into making the '04 Rodeo capable of doing light trails.

Thing is, I can't find most of the parts and pieces I had on my shopping list because the vendors have changed a bit. I could use some help.

Shopping list:
- Front Bumper - like the ARB Bull Bar - Darlington made a nice one, but did he retire or go out of business?
- Rear Bumper - Again, Darlington made one I really liked. Does anyone make one like those?
- Rocker Protection - I'm open for suggestions. They need to be a bit farther out so the Lady of the house can step up to get in.
- 1.5" suspension lift - That's easy. I'm thinking OME springs for the Trooper or Rodeo, depending on advertised lift.
- 1" body lift - suggestions, please. The bumpers will need to compensate for the gap.
- Skid Plates - I can't find any. I guess I'm heading to my welder and torch.

In short: Bumpers, rocker protection, 2"-2.5" lift, and skid plates. It looks real easy on paper. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

It's good to see some of the old timers are still haning around. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks in advance for the advice.
