Any thoughts on a bumper from Amazon.com?

Volvo s40 t5 and tacoma is a weekend toy

 

So have we decided where yet?

 

I've looked at that one too. The price is good, but you have to add your own licence plate light. Also, I'm not sure I like the plate on the side like the picture shows. If you get I'd like to see on the truck!

 

@allmotorrex

 

I'm on Tuesday fence, I just started looking at armor. I just finished a lift and that took months of research and saving, so time to repeat with armor I suppose. Any recommendations?

 

You can't go wrong with Pelfreybilt.

 

i'll have nightmares for weeks after watching that!

just going by feel and sound, there's not nearly that much movement. i might borrow a go pro to stick under there though...

 

I think it depends on how much you're willing to spend, and how long you're willing to wait for it! Like Dave said Pelfreybilt is good, but you'll have to wait for it. I went with CBI on the front and sliders, I didn't have to wait on them. Both though have good products. I'm pretty sure most of the ones on Amazon with a few exceptions are going to be Chinees built products.

 

Agreed, CBI makes top notch products. Pelfreybilt is stocking up to try and reduce wait times, and I think the wait time on my bumper was something like 6-8 weeks which isn't terrible.

 

SOOO, I'm seriously considering the group buy on the FRONTRUNNER roof racks. But I need a push, can someone provide some comments on why I should or shouldn't get the FRONTRUNNER over say the PRINSU rack????

 

Nope. But hopefully my Prinsu ships next week.

 

Bruteforce is good stuff! But I'd go Pelfrybilt for the front bumper and Bruteforce for the rear if I was a 2nd gen

 

Prinsu FTW!
I don't know if I will ever heavily mod (I know I'm going to catch flak)
But I have a lot of race/ bike to pay for, and really want to travel around the world
The Tacoma does all I need to stock. We got great trucks!

 

If you're interested in a rear bumper, I am selling a FabFours rear bumper (it is tire carrier capable, if you wanted to go that route in the future. I had it and sold it already since I selling my rear bumper for a high clearance). Check out my build thread for pics or search the "FabFours rear bumper for sale" and you should also see my sell page for it. it retains the factory tow hitch (if you have the tow package) and you can use your stock license plates lights (2 reasons why I purchased it over other brands).

Let me know what ya think!

 

I'm still alive lol. Just been extremely busy. Also I have sad and excited news.....I traded in my Taco for a Silverado. @Daria Let me know when you want to meet so I can give you the bed drawers.

 

so, my parents got heather and I a Cannon EOS Rebel T6i DSLR camera as a baby present so we have a "real" camera to start capturing moments with the baby as she grows up. As most of yall know, I have never been a real big picture taker because for me to be taking pics, that means I am NOT taking part in the festivities. So I dont take them.

We had newborn pics today (which we got professionally done) and I asked the photographer in her studio if I could try my camera out since I know nothing about these things. she had no issues with it and even set it up for better abilities (as far as shooting the pictures today) which made a HUGE difference in how it turned out. So here are some of the pics I shot today. These are unaltered/untouched up and I cant believe how they turned out. Absolutely amazing! I look forward to actually taking pics now O/R with this thing on trips!



to me, they almost look like real-grade photography pics

 

Dude that first pic is awesome.

 

thanks! heathers friend knitted that hat, scarf, and bottoms for her and the photographer (same one did our maternity pics) purchased that wooden plane just bc she knew I flew planes and choppers and she loved how all the pics turned out. so hopefully we help sell that particular item to help bring her business haha
