    I think so as well.

    Haha I love his rear bumper as well, if only it had a swing-out.

    I'll probably get a CBI with every option some day. Frame stiffeners wouldn't be necessary as long as you don't go jumping the truck haha but shackles for sure. I'm ready to get my expos on the truck....

    I do the same thing! Haha Build it, throw it in the cart and try to figure out when I'll be able to afford one...

    I want all of those options as well, except I'm going to have them put a rotopax mount in place of the jerry can holder.

    Great minds they say!

    I've pm'd Matt (greenchilitaco) a few times regarding his CBI. He said frame stiffeners are a must. He said the bumper weighs a good amount and having it hang off the back could cause some twerking.

    But CBI is still a ways down the road for me. Full skids and a few other things first.

    Haha I can agree with that!

    Ahh, okay. Good to know then. I may just be buying this kit sooner than later then....

    Probably the same for me since I want to get an Elite, skids, Wet Okoles, AllPro bed rack, RTT, and welder before then.... Haha :eek:

    I can't believe how pricey Wet Okoles are... It's hard to justify +$550 for seat covers

    With that being said, I can't stop hovering in that GB!
    What colors are you going with? Are you doing full pipe?

    I wanted wet okoles but couldn't justify it either. Was in walmart one day and spotted some dickies covers. Don't fit snug to the seat but they do the job I want them to. Check my build for some pics

    Yeah, it's expensive. Especially if you get the lumbar and heaters... Haha

    I need them though because after about 4 hours of driving my back is killing me. Same for any time I go trail riding....

    I'll be getting these. Taupe with half piping and TRD logo. They guy that has these says it matches the color almost perfectly.

    Check your build....? I'm basically stalker level 2 in your build. Lol

    I've been wanting some seat covers, so I'm currently "shopping" around

    I saw some pics by a member here (i don't really remember his username "sirachio" maybe)

    He has full taupe with black pipe. I like that!

    I having the same debate, I really like the look of the elite with the little slope don't want to deal with the wait time so I'm thinking of just going with a DIY relentless unless I find an elite for sale on here

    Nah, no thread jacking haha

    I like that bumper, I prefer the plate wrap-arounds over the hybrid wrap-around.

    I've got many other things I want to get before I get a rear bumper.

    yeah same here, BUT im getting a good bit back from taxes being that this is my first year out of school so my logic is to buy something that i wouldnt normally buy, so its either a CBI or a TIG welder

    Yeah, I should be getting a decent amount back as well.

    If I do it'll either be an Elite bumper or a bed rack with all of the accessories I want.

    Would buy a welder if I had a place to put it. A MIG is on my list to buy eventually. Wish I could get a welder before I get an AllPro bed rack so I could buy the weld it yourself one. But I guess I'm just going to get the bolt together one.
