    Not enough ....
    Got my TRD badge!! But before I put it on I was wondering if any of you guys applied some kind of glue/epoxy behind it to help it stick better?? Maybe I’m just being paranoid but I would hate for it to fly off on the road lol

    The adhesive @CBoy808 uses is good. I just peeled the backing off and the badge has been on there ever since. Just be sure the surface is clean and dry and you're good to go.

    Yes, I’ve heard nothing but good things about his design and quality. Overall good things about his company. Also being able to visit his shop and talk to him in person is an added bonus.

    I haven't seen any of his first gen stuff, but I know a few guys with 2nd gens that have his bumpers. The swing out is especially popular. I know he's a small shop so lead time can be long but it's worth the wait for sure. Good stuff

    He only makes a 1st gen front bumper. His main focus is 2nd gen and newer. This is why it’s an investment for him to start doing a 1st gen rear bumper. Every time I stop by his shop it’s none stop. He tells me he also works weekends sometimes. For his mass produced 2nd gen stuff lead times are very reasonable compare to other fab companies. Since it’s the holidays lead times will be a little longer across the board. I’ve order some snowboarding gear (instock) last week and they still haven’t shipped yet.

    Dang that's a good run, mine looked like that just a couple months after install but I was up in the mountains in the snow a lot. Replaced them while ago with stainless steel ones

    The original ad (I think...) for under $120.00 is back on Ebay, or it was this morning...

    Happy Holidays..

    Nice find, they actually lowered the price by about $30 from what it was a few weeks ago.

    had a thought come out of nowhere... if these developed surface rust so quickly (and were painted no less), wonder what these look like now :rofl:

    Going to pull the flare and liner to take a look next chance I get. Just curious of course :crazy:

    I guess now I'll know to dab a bit if silicone to cover them up before install.

    So you get a chance to pull that inner liner and take a look at those bolts? What's the verdict?

    yeah, no. Sorry. Its going to be a few weeks at least. Not even sure I want to go through the hassle to be honest. If I do, will definitely update the thread. @eon_blue, feel like breaking some fender flare clips and take the fender off to find out? :boink:
