Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Any normal person would listen to that but this is kase so thats not going to happen... He's already shopping for LT...

 

It’s the little stuff.

Like full plate bumper or a slim line

Gonna for sure max out at 33’s. Don’t wanna get 13mpg and don’t wanna kill the v6 power

Probably get Kings and total chaos arms

I wanna go LT but then you gotta delete the KDSS stuff(over engineered sway bars basically) and idk if I’d wanna give up the ride quality for something that’ll see dirt 6 times a year.

So I guess ima go quality mid travel.

 

35s! And 455 gears!

This could have been you

 

get a supercharger then you never have to worry about the power. Also i have the ONLY SSO hybrid bumper ever made for the trail edition '10-13 trail edition. I could be persuaded to sell it, but I am all the way out here in El Paso and dont have any trips planned back east anytime soon (or honestly ever rn). Have you checked out addicted offroad front bumper? Honestly that is my favorite one, and I would buy that if ever i replaced my SSO one-off.

 

He looked at mine and says it looks weird. I think it's mainly because my bumper cover pieces that remain were butchered by the previous owner so its kind of crappy looking.

 

i am taking offense for you. Yours looks great! It really is the best combination of weight and performance and looks IMO.

he probably will end up paying a lot to convert the front end because there is more support for the 14+ front end, though i personally am biased and like the 10-13 front.

 

I prefer the 10-13 as well but we will see what he goes with!

 

I’m pretty sure if I go plate, I’ll go CBI.

Another thing that bugged me is I saw porosity in a couple welds on kellys bumper. Ugly weld= okay. Undercut = happens. But to let the porosity bugs me as a welder bad enough to not want ADD lol.

You’re right. There’s not many options and that kinda sucks. The SSO new high clearance sides for the slimline on the 14+ is freaking genius and sexy. That makes me wish I had got a 14 but I do like the 13 front end more.

I wouldn’t mind keeping the stock bumper cause it’s a good looking front end but it hangs so low and it’s so massive... I know it would get fucked up so quick

 

You would be shocked how long mine lasted with the stock front bumper and it's the Limited so it was lower than the other models.

 

I know how I wheel lol. It would get fucked up quick.

 

A lot of people just take off the front and rear bumper clips to avoid damage. you could do that.

 

Do you have a picture of your front bumper ? I googled SSO slimline for a 10-13 and they never finished the thread they started over it lol

 

there are pics on page 1 of this thread

 

I have better pics too but just PM me for them. trying to stay lowkey when possible. sounds silly i know but theres reasons for it. thanks.

 

The pics on their page are very bad quality and hard to see. Looks nothing like the slim bumper for the 14.

I’ll PM you but it does sound silly considering people could take pictures of your bumper everyday when you drive your rig lol.

 

sounds stupid. Just post up the pics.

 

Slim bumpers are stupid.

Go wide or go home.

 

What if nobody makes a good looking plate bumper for your rig?

 

You're a welder....make one!
