Alabama thread!

if you like the look of them then no. If you think that you are gaining some huge amount of clearance back there then now you are not. If you look at the angle that your shackle hangers sit at then take a straight line back to your bumper, You literally gain 1/2". There is no big mystery that they are calling them HC bumpers for marketing purposes. You gain a little bit in the fender but nothing to write home to mama about. If it your DD and you like the look then go ahead i say. but if you are doing it because your going to gain all of this clearance on your Daily driver then your retarded. how much clearance do you need to drive the interstate back and forth to work? When i was building mine i tried to justify it to myself cutting the bed sides, It just did not justify the hassle and effort.

 

Cut that bitch! I'll hold your beer.

Nope, because that would make me crazy as well.

 

dude, brah, dude!
1st I didn't know there was a right way for your stomach to turn.
2nd dude, brah, dude!

 

30min to a hr.

 

being the almighty turbo man that you are, I figured you would know a good stomach turn is caused by those oh-so-enjoyable G's.

dude, brah, dude, fish tacos fo' realz? wut chu smokin?

 

Cut that mofo who gives a shit?!

 

I am almost intentionally planning to tear my rear bumper off at Moab to assist with the process of putting HC on just sayin'. I think @TacoAlaMode is in a similar boat haha

 

Fair enough on the first
And on the 2nd. Fish, good, pico de Gallo, good, chedder cheese, good, lettuce, good, tortillas, good.
I see nothing wrong. (not today's pic but it pretty much looks the same)



oh yeah forgot about that southwest sauce... also very good

 

I just don't do fish tacos lol, and I can barely do Hardee's. If you've ever been to the Arab Hardee's you'd understand, nastiest fast food joint in the world.

 

All the Offroads needs to at least log the issue with Toyota. That is how a TSB gets created. Also, should it be a bigger problem later, you are documented that you had the problem and they did not fix it, your costs to be repaired could be reimbursed.

 

But there are McDonald's all over the world...

 

and I'm sure a McDonald's in the ass crack of Africa is cleaner than the Hardees in Arab.

 

But u dont live in arab anymore right so u dont have to worry about that

 

true. I still don't eat at Hardee's.

 

I put a dent in mine already, so I'm already angled for a new bumper. I just need Moab to finish it off. I'm not decide on cutting the fenders at this point thou.

 

I see some fun angles at the Golden Crack taking place for you and I.

 

I'm a little behind so I don't know if anyone responded yet but unlike the website states, it's not closed. I haven't been there yet.

 

yessir!

 

Well if it isn't your DD, and you decide to not cut fenders, the first stump or log you land on that fucks up your bedside panels, you'll need to do more than just cut for a HC if you don't want your truck looking like shit too. That's how I look at it. I'd rather go ahead and protect the bed side panels themselves since it isn't a DD anymore...most days.

 

I say even if it is your DD and you want to do more than dirt trails and pavement, because you're a badass, then you should protect your bedside panels. HC isn't just for the "clearance" it's full protection to the rear end, but apparently that isn't justifiable lol
