Which plate bumper?

Oh okay! I guess I just thought it might only have a metal bar where a bolt would attach to it, like so many other bumpers. I didn't realized that it might actually have a bucket that the factory fogs would mount right into! That's great!!! I'll be ordering one very soon....asap! ......although I will have to get it painted Speedway Blue to match the truck, since the truck belongs to my Wife!

Thanks!

 

The fogs are super easy. they are held in the stock bumper by two round hollow pegs that fit into holes and a center clip that is part of the adjuster. For my bumper there is a metal tab with a hole in it for the clip and two threaded holes that line up with the pegs. In these holes are screws with a bolt on them. Thread the screw through the bumper and into the hollow peg on each side, get it centered, then snug the screws and then tighten each bolt so the screws don't back out. I don't have pictures but if you PM Billy at Brute Force Fab I'm sure he can probably hook you up with some.

 

Thanks for the quick response guys! That cleared it up for me. Now to get one made!!!

I really hope I can get one made, shipped, painted, and mounted before my annual trip to Ouray, Colorado in the summer!

Thanks again....

 

Pretty sure u can if u order soon

 

Yeah talked to Billy today and he is gettin busy so I'd put it the order in asap.

 

Billy's turn around is pretty quick... You should be good if you order soon. which style do you like more? His normal one or one like mine?

 

Guess you better get on it... One more for the rogue style. I didn't realize it was going to be so popular...

 

I'm going to get one that's like the rogue style, except instead of the TRD cut-out I'm just gonna have a inspection opening there, and it will be a flat top. I thought about getting the single hoop, but was thinking that it might make it a bit harder to work under the hood.
How thick is the d-ring mounts? 1" or 1 1/8"? I measured my d-rings and the opening is 1 1/4". I just don't want the d-rings to flop around too much.

 

I keep saying d-rings, when I guess it's really called a clevis or shackle.

 

The cure for shackles flopping around is called a ballcock washer. Its basically a rubber cone with a hole in it. Its a toilet repair supply. About 2 bucks a pop. I put one between one side of the shackle and the bumper mount. Keeps them from flopping but still moves if you need it too. Not sure on the thickness of the mount but its a hefty chunk of steel. You need 5/8 shackles with 3/4 pins for them to fit right in the holes though.

As for the hoop, it might make things a touch more difficult but i got it so if i hit an animal it stays out of my radiator and my satoshi. Plus i like the look

 

Is that duplicolor liner smooth or porous? Yours looks smooth but the pics in truck beds looks porous and rough. I'm painting sliders next week and need to decide.
thanks

 

Looks good Rogue...sorry I haven't comented sooner, been crazy busy..but the green looks bad assssss

 

The bed armor is porous. If you feel the lid on a spray can of the stuff its a pretty good representation of the finished product.

Thanks Billy and no worries. I imagine you have been bombarded with people asking about the rogue bumper. Sorry about that BTW I didn't mean to detract from your original one.

 

I ordered the same bumper as you How does the ride feel with the icons and that heavy bumper?

 

To be honest its not that heavy. Only about 100 lbs. I don't notice any difference in ride though. Was a pleasant surprise.

 

Nice bumper man and good choice with Brute Force, I'll be completing my set with a HC Bumper from Billy

 

Any chance of getting a side view pic so we can see clearance around wheel...

 

Sure, I'll try and get one posted in a bit

 

As requested:

 

Thanks for taking the pic! I like how the bumper bends a little around the fog light, gives it a more professional finish. The paint finish you put on looks pretty good. Makes we want to start wheeling just so I can get that awesome bumper!
