    Hey all! Managed to get some internet while in the islands. In case anyone is wondering, I've been sailing in the British Virgin Islands since Christmas day and it has been incredible! Currently in Jost Van Dyke 3 minutes swimming distance from a fantastic bar called Ivan's :) Pretty spectacular!

    Anyway, please confirm that arrangements have been made. Please PM Jason if you haven't to get the ball rolling. Thanks!

    Cant wait to hear about the progress with this. The CBI DIY kit is very tempting, but I am willing to wait.

    I am interested too pending a couple of questions if anyone knows the answers or can get them!

    *Will it be possible for the light cutouts to be square for some rigid D2 pod lights or do they have to be round?
    **Will the turn signals be part of the bumper if we go with the square lights or can they be eliminated?
    ***Is the 800-1000 price range for a basic bumper or for the one in the first picture with the hoop and support braces?

    Great looking bumper!

    Hoping they can offer some customization.

    I want square cutouts too but for some BajaDesigns lights. Round turn signals are good with me and am hoping that the $800-$1000 price range does include the center hoop and support braces.

    I'm on the list cause this is my first choice but if there are any issues when it comes time to put some $$$ down, I'm going back to Shrockworks for a replacement bumper.

    @synergy10 I am going to link my turn signals in with my corner lights to eliminate them from the front bumper if possible. Pending the customization I am in for sure! I didn't know Demello had 1st gen bumpers so they were never one that I looked at, but now that I have seen it, it is my first choice as well!! Any ideas on the rear bumper? I am thinking of going with a Rentlentless wrap around bumper but if Demello has one I may hold out for that one!

    I was thinking about doing the same but not sure if it's worth the trouble. I haven't seen it in person on a Tacoma but my friend did the turn signal mod on his 3rd gen 4runner and it didn't seem bright enough.

    I saw their 1st gen bumper a few years ago but they were only taking custom orders at that time which meant more than twice the price of other bumpers that were in production. They've always been my first choice and now we all have a chance to get our hands on one...hopefully.

    I'm pretty much set on CBI's bushmaster 1.0 rear bumper but without the side protection tubing. It's a high clearance bumper that will require cutting of the bed sides though. Which wasn't a big deal if I was installing it on my previous double cab (it had a dented bedside that just happened to be in the area I would need to cutoff anyway). Now that I'm back in my white extra cab, it's going to be a tougher decision but I'm still leaning towards this bumper.

    Only thing I don't like about the Relentless rear bumper is the wrap around portion. Almost looks like its too short and sticks out to much for my taste. Other than that, it's a solid choice from what I've seen/read.

    So how are we looking on getting the trucks to Jason? I just want to make sure we're all on track still. With a major storm coming up in the Bay Area, it is especially important that I stay close by as my parents place at the Russian River may flood. Fingers crossed that it does not...

    @Blackdawg i need a bumper and this seems like a good choice, I still have $1500 for anyone looking to sell there Elite bumper. I have no problem paying a premium because IMO it's the best looking bumper.
