DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

The hill at the end. Ate me alive last time.

 

We don't care about those other fucks!

 

Any of you guys near me have wrenches for Icon? I need to go up some. I rub from time to time. I need another 1/4" or so up front.

 

If anyone has Instagram, I am running a giveaway on my instagram page!

Giving away a Blue Ridge Overland Gear Sling Bag, Adventure Medical Kits 1.0 First Aid Kit, RTIC Hard Koozie, A Rugged Cactus Hat, Trail Toys Magnetic Koozie and Patch, Pelfreybilt Patch, Southeast Overland Patch and Stickers, Elevation Overland Patch, and a Stanleys Famous BBQ Rib Rub Seasoning.

All you have to do is repost the picture with the hashtag and be a follower. Will select a winner in about a week... right now there are not many entries... so you have a pretty good chance!

 

So what is the best looking front bumpers in your opinion?? I think the Pelfreybilts look nice but i like how the relentless bumpers have the fairlead tucked away....

 

I think the Elite looks the best but I'm biased and they are no longer available. The Trailworx bumper is also a work of art for the 12-15, best integration of the little horns.

 

you need some brackets bro??

 

that trailworx is rather dope indeed. i am partial to pelfrey of course but at this point, id go with whoever could get me one quickest as im impatient.

 

ARB, then All-Pro, then probably CBI.

 

I'm looking at the Pelfry front aluminum now. Single hoop on the center.

 

Could always buy mine and then I can get Aluminum.... ha..... not joking either.

Was thinking about it last night honestly on possibly going to Aluminum on the front Bumper and for the rear bumper in the future and keep the sliders and skids Steel.

Truck is already heavy and would rather do more overlanding like we did at Big Bend and such instead of crazy hard trails that a steel front bumper would be needed for...

 

Wait... does anyone even make a Alum rear bumper with swingout?

 

Does anyone even make an aluminum rear?

 

Pretty sure CBI does... or at least they did for XOverland.

 

I thought you couldn't have an Aluminum with the swingout due to weight issues and would cause the aluminum to bend/yield?

 

I have no idea... but I am pretty sure it has been done, but then again they have dual swingouts instead of a single swingout which is what I want anyways. Rather do a dual than a single. One for Tire and one for Rotopax/Small Propane Bottle.

 

OT: As soon as I get back from Hawaii. Im job hunting. Im tired of spending my days trying not to beat a coworker with a blunt object.

 

what kinda work you looking for?

 

Sales of some sort. I'm a wholesale Ford parts salesman ATM. Going back to school this fall to finish my degree.

 

Inside or outside? My spot is always hiring sales punks who make all the damn money.

@Suprajim54 @49erfan bp this weekend or another weekend?

I kind of dont want to go the 29th/30th... but i might, for unspecified reasons at this time. Still down for this weekend though
