    @JLee this is from a SOS full plate bumper on a 2013 taco. Think I would have any issues ?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    You might have to drill two holes for the rear bolt but the mount should clear. And on another note It boggles my mind they would sell the bumper like that. I'll be sure to never pull from a SOS bumper.

    He highly recommended doing a weld on frame reinforcement but I was 6 hours from home and didnt have the time or knowledge I have now. He also makes a bolt on reinforcment. I have been slacking on this mod for too long:anonymous:it's totally my fault I dont have reinforcements not SOSs. Just ordered yours! I like the fact that it wont interfere with Resevoir mounts and that I dont have to weld.

    Ah so just an option on their bumpers. It should be standard if they say you can run a winch in the bumper with no added options IMO.

    Anyone tested them on a third gen yet? I have my Pelfreybilt bumper off currently for headlights and need to redo some hardware since the washers on the through bolt crumpled on both sides, and I want to add some over stock anyways to give myself a little more clearance from the fenders.

    I’ll guinea pig them once available. Worst I gotta do is sell them.

    It's already a group buy you won't get any more discounts on these. Once production starts the price is going up.

    Ordered!! Thank you for doing this, I have been meaning to make my own for a while but this is beyond what I could have fabricated. I also do not see how bumpers can be sold as winch ready when they are held on by 3 bolts per side and thin sheet metal.

    Ordered. I’ll report back on third gen fit. Need to get new washers to space off the bumper for more clearance from the plastic / for the through bolt.

    If you are going to put on the king's, I really think you should because of the winch and the reservoirs. All you need is the bare metal ones and we can paint and prime them. If you want them power coded it is your preference. I will be ordering mine tomorrow. Actually Rick, can you send me a quick pic of where your bumper attaches to your truck and a close up of how your reinforcement bracket is installed to your bumper and frame. Send it to me in a pm.

    Jerry uses top notch powder, so it’s up to you if you wanna pull and respray. I’d recommend so you don’t have to mess with it, plus they’re 20% now so it’s free compared to what it’ll be in a few weeks.

    Sounds good. I have a Pelfreybilt front end too, so it’ll be the same as your new one i assume.

    Confirmed fitment on the 3rd gens! these will fit the 2016 to 2020 trucks as well. Fitting the bumpers without modifying the bumper will be all depending how the bumper mounts.
