New Low Profile Option FBTT1-05

I just stopped at Fastenal and purchased some nuts and bolts. I just slapped it together and will make any adjustments to the levelness later. It was too hot. Next may buy a cheap light bar or may cut the crossbar and add additional fog lights.

 

That's to move the power steering cooler back so that it can clear the winch.

BTW, I got mine on tonight. All you need are the 4 bolts and 8 washers. I'm short one washer. They actually should've included some bolts and nuts for moving that power steering line as well. I used a couple that I had lying around and all is well.

It's a really easy install and if you watch the YouTube videos of similar products you're all set.

Remove Grill.
Remove Bumper cover
Remove 6 bolts that attach bumper to frame rails.
relocate power steering cooler back toward radiator. `
Mount winch shelf and brackets onto the 6 studs and reuse OEM Nuts to secure.

i'll take some pics tomorrow once i have it all dialed in and there's light.

Same. I’m fixing minor front end damage and new headlights and grill coming. It’s tricky with that straight light bar and so many curves in the grill to get it perfect. Plenty of room for adjustment though so I’ll get it.

 

With my truck being black it's hard to tell that it's a bit crooked. Cool front next week so I will spend some time adjusting it then.

 

That looks good.. where u got that price from 345..i cannonly find it for 499..

I don’t know how these guys do it with freight. I shipped a motorcycle engine 1 state over and shipping was almost $300. This is a well made piece with 100 pounds of steel and it arrives at the house for this price.

 

I really want to pull the trigger on this but that light bar mount just stands out too much. I had a Wrangler with several DV8 items on it, all were good quality.

 

I thought the same thing, but I love it. I’m more of a “function over form” guy and i now have a place to put lights as well as a place to sit and drink a beer on the front of the truck.

 

Thanks for the info.. i looked all.over the place last nite couldn find it

 

Do u know if they ship from san berdardino CA?..

 

Shipper was Rev Wheel LLC from Riverside, CA.

First tracking scan was March Air Reserve Base, CA.

 

Was trying to reach someone..maybe i can do a pick.up..

 

I called that number in the eBay ad and the guy who installed it on the grey Tacoma was the one who answered. First ring.

 

I actually spoke on face with the owner of the gray tacoma.. he did not want to give me.info..lol

 

Wonder why? You think these are grey market or something? For the money, I don’t care. Haha.

 

He said his was the prototype..and got a killer deal.. did not want to disclosed price..

 

Heres his post..

 

Maybe those that they’re getting rid of on eBay were the prototypes? I couldn’t care less. I did think it was odd that it was made in Mexico. At that price, I just assume China.

Could be that they had an initial run of pieces manufactured in Mexico to send to potential ODM suppliers. No telling. Maybe someone who purchases from 4wheel parts will post some pics to compare.

I know these guys are on TW from another thread. They’re probably reading these posts, although I doubt they’ll chime in.

 

My only complaint was the bag of bolts broke open and some of the nuts, bolts, and a washer was awol. I just stopped at Fastenal and purchased more bolts and some nylock nuts like Hookembevo said. Install was pretty straight forward, I didn't even take off the bumper shell..just took everything out through the opening where valence mounts up.

 

I'd like to see how this works with a winch installed

 

buy me a winch and I will install it and send you some pics and video. Kidding, says it will work with upto 12000 lb winch. I am looking to get one in the near future. Will post here when i do.
