    I just dropped off my front and rear brute force bumpers on Friday . Didn’t have any input so was just curious of any other experiences… seemed like a decent quote to strip blast and re coat considering they look like tetanus…

    Are there any dried up lake beds around here or areas y’all go to that you can go really fast on dirt? I know some lake beds look dried up but are still wet underneath. No interest in those. Seen to many horror stories

    Gotcha. We've been using them for a couple years, mostly good experience. They're not the absolute BEST quality in town, but they're pretty consistent and they've proven to be the most reliable and stick to their quoted turnaround times the best for us which is a big deal when others often doubled their quoted turn times while our parts sat.

    Good to hear I’m hoping they turn out decent . I’m honestly not all that picky so as long as they last a couple years and did some decent prep work on the bad spots I’ll be happy

    They probably do the best prep in town; they run the only burn-off oven in town, so they pre-bake the parts at high temp to burn off any oil/grease residues (and burn off the old paint/powder) and then sand blast everything from there. So from a prep standpoint, advanced is likely best in town :thumbsup:

    I usually go to Reno Vulc to get tires mounted. I bring them in off the truck and hang out with the guys mounting them. No complaints.
