Show Off Your Brute Force-Fabbed Gear!!

He's using the same one everyone else uses let me find a link. I just used iridium magnets and can pull the plate completely off if I need the hitch.

He just drills/taps the holes for the aftermarket flip bracket

This one should work

And here's a pic of my brute force HC

 

Does he not add it any more. Let me take a pic of what i'm talking about. Mine is right beside my hitch under the flip up license plate.

 

Oh I'm an idiot, I thought did he include provisions for the plate flip. Yeah he includes the cut out still. You have to space out the plate a little so it fits even though.

 

That number is no good either..

Anyone got another number?

 

I have 559-493-5842

 

Anybody besides NumNutz have the fill in plates between the outer tubes on a hybrid bumper?

 

Oh, perfect!

Those are the only 2 numbers I know about. Soooo no E-mails, no phone calls....

Do you think he would respond if I just asked for my money back? haha

 

I read in another thread that he's goin through some family stuff and has been having a hard time getting back to ppl..jus be patient

 

I read that on his FB page. Family medical issues and his cell phone isnbroken. That was posted on the 28th if I remember correctly.

 

Well I hope his family gets through it, and everybody is okay-

BUT, I ordered my bumper in march and was quoted 8-12 weeks. and seeing as how it is now September, that time frame has come and gone multiple times. I understand that things come up- but a simple Email letting people know whats going on is not hard. just a wee bit of reassurance would help a great deal in my book.

 

totally unprofessional! what kind of business is he running....

 

Hey Guys,

For those of you running the hybrid front bumper... What IFS skid did you go with?

Anybody running the all-pro IFS with the hybrid?

 

I'm still using my factory skid.

 

Your factory trd? Cause my truck isn’t a trd, and even still I want the piece of mind of a steel skid plate

 

I'm running an RCI ifs skid and it works perfectly, I'm not sure if there will be any conflict with any skid plates though

 

Burntorange, let me know if you hear anything from Billy. I am in a similar situation - ordered in March and was give a completion date of end of May. Spoke with him around end of June and laser cutter was down. Haven't heard from him since.

 

Can you clearly see your plate when you're towing something or does the trailer impede the visual aspect of another driver looking at your plate from behind you?

 

I just went to my local fastenal where Billy is suppose to be shipping my bumper, and they got in contact with the fastenal Billy uses in Fresno- and low and behold.....no bumper has gone out recently to Texas. So not only is he bad at letting people know where he stands with their product, but he lied to me and said it was shipped over a month ago now. IF I can get into contact with him any time soon I will be asking for my money back. I

 

What a bummer.
Had no probs whatsoever last yr.
