Pelfreybilt Off-Road

Well we are here when you are ready! Looks like you could probably work a lot of that back out.

 

How is the third gen rear swing our coming along? Got a new cooler for Xmas and now with my spare tire in the bed, have no bed space left!

 

We have the latches done, just waiting to adapt them to the T4R rear and then the third gen will get them.

 

Holy F*ck

 

How did you know what I said?

 

Looks like you ran over a hooker and her head dinged the bumper on the way out of the parking lot.

I saw this and thought for sure it was an aluminum bumper. Upon learning it was steel I'm convinced that you are a man that take risks and I like that.

 

Couldn’t be happier with my rear bumper!

 

By chance, does anyone know what grade aluminum Tyler uses? Asking for a friend

 

6061 is pretty standard for aluminum.. but probably best to come from them... guessing there was some damage and now repair work is needed?

 

I think you'd be fine adding the headlight hoops with 6061 even if they make their bumpers with 7075. 7075 is stronger (because of the higher Zinc content), but is harder to work with/weld. Since the headlight hoops aren't exactly a "high-impact" area, you should be good to go.

 

The potential welder that is going to burn them in just wants to know the grade. Everything, including the hoops FYI, is from Pelfreybilt. I just want to get him the right info so it comes out as best as possible.

 

Usually tubing has the grade ink stamped on it, but it could be worn off. Your welder is right though, aluminum is tricky to weld, especially with TIG. So it changes what he'll use for filler material and such depending on the grade.
My educated guess would be 6061, I know they are fast to respond to emails/phone calls though

 

Thanks everyone for the replies. Satin got back to me. "5052-H32 grade"

 

I was thinking of maybe doing this also one day. Great minds think alike. Keep us posted on how that goes and post pics with updates!

 

well shit my guess was wrong haha

 

Will do! I just want them installed already!

haha all good man

 

Something followed me home yesterday...



What could it be?




My new front bumper!

Now to get lights, a winch and new front springs....

 

I wish this was a factory option.
