Relentless Fab '05-11 Tacoma plate bumpers buy

Actually, the entire bumper aside from the recovery points will be 1/4"... however there will be a few braces/gussets in key areas. I will make sure it can take the load of winching before I ship any, and I have no doubt that it can handle it while still being 1/4". I had an all 1/4" aluminum bumper in the past, and I regularly used a 9500lb warn for recovery of myself and other, as well as tugging on the recovery points and I never had any issues in the 2 years it was on my truck. The current bumper is a better design from the get-go, so it should work great with only minor modifications to the regular design.

haha yeah... maybe some clarification to what this means would help... lol

No problem Shawn. Glad we could get things worked out.

 

Well, you sure know a lot more about it than I do, and I get that proper design and load management beats thickness of material, so I'm real interested to see how you set it up. When you get the first one built, will you post a few pics of how it's built to handle the loads, especially for winching? I'm still very interested in getting one.

Thanks,
David

 

Also interested in more info on the Aluminum bumper and how it compares to the steel in terms of strength...I know certain Al alloys can come close to steel in strength while being much lighter weight...and that is a serious weight savings.

 

Hey Eric when will number 11 and 13 get shipped?
They are holding up the free bumper party!!!!!!!!

Black Friday is comming and it's all down hill after that!!!!
I get a bunch of compliments on mine from everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for a great product. Yes obvious ass kissing here, but well deserved.

 

How's the rear bumper coming along?

Really want to see what it's going to look like!!!

 

It would be done right now if my cnc cutters waterjet hadn't blown a line on Monday!!! Very close! Should be done within a weeks time!

 

That is awesome news Eric!!

I'm putting the bumper and sliders on this weekend. I am so impressed with your work...

Now build me a rear!!

 

Great work Eric, I expect nothing less from you. Looks like I will be in the LA area for a while, So it will probably be a while before I can get the FJ up to you

 

Thanks a lot mojo!! Rear bumper pics and ordering thread will be up as soon as my design is finalized.

JD I wanna talk to ya about this actually. Give me a call or text when ya get the chance. 559-304-0506

Eric, did you ever look into the FF1000's fitting without the brackets? my lights are on a light bar for another car not here right now, haven't had a chance to test fit them

 

The bumper looks great on your truck!!

 

Larry... its a stock replacement bumper, but incorporates higher clearance kinda like the AP rear by being smaller than stock and eliminating the low hanging hitch. Overall height is just tall enough to fit the license plate on there.
Pics this week! Just need to get over this damn cold or whatever I have right now.

Looks great shawn!
Actually I did, but I cant quite remember what the depth was on them. I think I came to the conclusion that the brackets are necessary to fit them on the bumper.

Hey man, your bumper is at Fastenal in Eugene if you hadnt heard already!!

 

Whoa no way! I was beginning to feel like this guy:!

I'll have to give 'em a call -- thanks Eric!! Can't wait to see the rear bumper!
