    I'm really happy with how the front bumper turned out. With powder coating they usually can't match the color very well, but these guys got it almost perfectly matched and then put a clear coat on it so even the gloss level matches.

    Now I'm not sure how I feel about the rhino lined bushwhackers and sliders.... may change them to silver as well in the future :cool:

    Yeah I would have them color matched for sure. I wanted to color match mine but somehow ended up wrapping the truck a different color instead of just painting the flares lol

    Yea, I kinda regret not doing the sliders silver to match the bumper. Truck bed liner isn't easy to get off either, I may be better off selling these sliders and bushwhackers and getting new ones lol.

    Finished pre-wiring my Bussmann RFRM Relay/Fuse box today.

    The RFRM has dual bus bars and holds 10 fused relays plus 20 fused connections (10 on on each bus).

    I wired the busses to +12v and ground, each relay connection is fused from the bus so it's extremely safe with multiple fault tolerances.

    I'll probably add a smaller 5 relay bussmann box in the back of the truck at some point in the future, but this should handle all my power needs until then.

    To mount the RFRM I fabricated a bracket from steel plates I found at Home Depot and a few rivnuts.

    Initially just I bolted my bracket to the two M8 threaded bolt holes in the fender. It worked but it felt a little wobbly, so I made a support leg for it that bolts to the factory fuse box foot. This extra support made it feel a lot more secure and now it won't budge.

    Ideally I would like to have a one piece aluminum mounting bracket made utilizing these 3 bolt locations to replace this, but it will get me by for now.

    Cheers, might try new flares first and leave the sliders to see how it looks. Thanks for the input.
