Still can't get over how good the new wrap looks. Looks fantastic, especially with the Pelfrey rear

Really? hmm, maybe mine has an issue? NO idea I haven't tried it in a long time. I know my rear is about 4-5 inches over stock, so it tends not to read, front is about 2" yes i now there is a lot of rake, it was setup to carry weight, sadly the weight has taken longer to come then wanted.

 

Ah, that might be it then. I removed one of my leafs to level out the truck more. Your rear-end is a lot higher than mine.

 

I’m looking for a bumper with swing out (preferably dual) that retains factory hitch for towing, does NOT carry spare tire but does have jerry can holder, fold down table and additional two inch hitch for bike rack on swing out. Anyone seen something like this?

 

Anyone have the passenger side bumper piece to a black 2017 4x4 sport cracked mine over the weekend. Thanks .

 

Hmm, that is going to be a tough one. My new bumper has a hidden hitch receiver in it under the license plate, most people who get the new rear bumpers I think drop the factory hitch as it really messes up the ground clearance or can. Oddly I never caught mine yet, granted my arse end is way up in the air. Now to get the front up here in the next week or two a bit more. Think another 6-12mm preload on the BP-51's should suffice. That would be about a 1/2-1" increase in height as it is usually 2 to one on the preload adjustments. Will see though.

 

Looking good. Thanks for being part of the #Pelfreybiltfamily

Pictures of what my bumper will look like, still in the works, well actually it is complete, I just haven't seen pictures of the completed, but I know it will be awesome, this was prior to him grinding down the welds and beef'ing up the recovery hooks. Just waiting on my damn rigid ignite lights to come in now and a response from a company about the darn camera relocate.

I put the Fab Fours premium model on my 17 TRD OR a few days ago and love it so far. Fit and finish is excellent and the welds look amazing. It was $799 powdercoated and shipped, plus there are several vendors who stock it on Amazon so no production lead time. If you don’t want a swing out or high-clearance bumper, this one is worth your consideration.

 

That is sexxxxxy! I love the clean, simple look. Classic (referring the above Fab 4 bumper on Cleetus's truck)

 

Looks great! I had the body shop install mine yesterday, went to pick up the truck today and found they didn't reinstall my receiver hitch. I guess I get to pull that beast off and do it right. Did you have to mess with your trailer plug wiring?

simple rear bumper. wish someone made this for taco.

 

Anyone else running the RCI one?

 

Looks great, I also went with fab fours and love it. Did you have any issues with the trailer wiring being too short for the new bumper location? What part of VA you in?

 

That’s weird installing mine I didn’t even need to remove the tow hitch. The new bumper mounts just use the oem mount location for the hitch. 3 bolts on each side.

I did have issues with the wiring not reaching new location for trailer hookup. Had to unsecure wiring from frame about 5ft from rear to get enough slack. Then just zip tied back to frame where I could.

 

Ya, they removed the stock bumper with the hitch attached, then bolted on the new bumper and couldn't figure out why the hitch wouldn't fit...
