Any Members in Arkansas?

Did you hit up Grant Wilbanks? I think their high-clearance rear is still in development.

 

That's what I was trying to get info on, specifically a high clearance rear with no swingarms. Got a response saying the high clearance with swingarms is at least six months out, but they have one with no swingarms available. Great, how do I order one? Get a response saying it's on the website to order, no link because that'd make it too easy. They only have one rear bumper on their website for our trucks and it's definitely not high clearance.

 

I'm back, now headed back out to the woods for a couple days working.....

If "one" means 'bumper' to one person, and "one" means 'high-clearance bumper' to another person, that could cause some confusion. I'm not saying that's what happened, but it could have.

Ambiguity is the killer of communication in a texting/emailing culture. "Catfish" on MTV is evidence of that. I mean, oof. Big oof.

 

I asked pretty clearly if they were going to offer a high clearance with no swingouts and when would it be available. The response was that they have one with no swingouts available to order now on their website, but didn't provide a link to said bumper and the one bumper they do have available to order isn't the type of bumper I was inquiring about. I think I'm communicating clearly, maybe not.

 

But real talk, it's no biggie.

 

you check out Brute Force Fab? Billy did my rear HC bumper. I had specific things I wanted done. He took note, verified with me, adjusted his bumper to fit my needs to every detail and was happy to do it. He's a awesome dude and his quality is top notch. I highly recommend him, especially for HC bumpers

He’s back!

 

Out of jail!

 

Hardcore mall crawler, What y’all think?

 

Yeah, I really like his stuff. My list is down to Brute Force, BAMF, or Victory 4x4. TBH I'm leaning towards BAMF.

 

Better than my Dog did...

BTW, be sure to set your parking brake, I knew a guy once a while ago...

 

Check out SOS Concepts, I think it high clearance w/o having to cut up your truck...pics to follow when I can find it.

 

I have LCA skids from BAMF. I dont have anything against him or his work; I had no issues. BUT for bumper, being able to speak from experience, I'd go with Brute Force.

and my additional 2 cents, I would steer clear of SOS Concepts. . . .

 

And why is that? Actually one of the best mods on my truck...the gate latch broke after 18+ months but they replaced ASAP. Love my swing out

 

Love the SOS sliders on my truck. Hard to mess up rock sliders though

 

I "know" the guy before he seemed to have gotten things squared away with the company and quality control. Its all in the past and it seems SOS Concepts is doing well; I just wont ever purchase from him (and that's not meant to be any sort of bash, it just is what it is).

 

Actually what's the best way to get ahold of him, I sent him an inquiry about a week ago to see what the lead time is and haven't heard back yet.

 

phone call is best

 

The standard features on that HC bumper ticks all of my boxes, if I can get one in under 6 months I'll be sold.
