Idaho BS thread in the PNW

No grill or bumper haha

Bumper test fit


All installed, minus the grill and I need to lengthen one of my fog light wires, oh and drill holes for my piaas.



Side by side

 

We had the bumper mostly in place when we realized we needed to grind the frame in a spot to let it adjust back to where it needed to be, so I have little gaps under the head lights, but they are even so it isn't too big of a deal.

We need to add a couple access holes. Tightening down nuts 1 ratchet click at a time sucked...

It still needs some mesh behind the Newt and then I will paint the mesh either dark blue or green.

Also some hinge mounts for the license plate.

Next time I meet up with Ben we plan to work out those kinks. haha

Then work on some LED's to light up the Newt

I love the way it looks and think I will go colormatched.

 

Gaps are good. 2nd gens have a lot of body flex for some reason you won't want it flush.

Looks good thou man!

Color matched will be cool.

And wait..your putting in piaas and the stock fogs??? Or the piaas driving lights..

 

sounds good...if i can ever get a hold of them. I said to hold off on charging shipping until i found out what you were doing, so what do they do? Put the shipping on the invoice

Awesome man! Glad to have you in boise. What are your plans for the trip, what kind of stuff are you doing, where are you staying? Not trying to stalk you of course. What kind of food you looking for?

my gf said it was boxy and ugly...so you might as well get rid of it.


how is batman doing?

 

I know his photos are freaking huge haha

Gotta do a satoshi Brady I decided.

 

My screen just cracked

 

Yeah and Mark didnt help anything by quoting the whole fucking thing

 

My only real plan is I have to hit up Cabelas. I am going to a shooting school in a couple months and I need to get a holster, and some earmuffs. My wife I'm sure has more plans. We'll probably do some downtown exploring and shopping. I've only been to Boise once, it was me and 5 buddies for a bachelor party. We got really drunk, one of my friends got robbed, we scared people with my buddies airhorn, attempted to hunt the robber down, rode some go carts, got really drunk again, then came home haha. I'm not sure where were staying, its up by where the concert is somewhere, maybe a best western. I dont think we have a preference on food type, my sister, and my wife just want to go someplace we have to dress up. Like I said above, we dont get out of Elko very often.

 

12MP bitches!! haha


My wife doesn't particularly care about plate bumpers either... Although she hasn't seen it on in person yet so we will see. haha

Batman was good A little frozen after we got done though. haha

 

Your camera settings must be set on Large or Wide

 

Not gonna lie..it looks bad..because your skinny ass tires...

Mine looked SOOOOO much better after the 33x12.5s went on.

It's just weird seeing the big wide front end held up by baby feet..

 

hahaha problem?

Mine is doing just dandy

haha sounds like a good time. Well i know andy has the weekends off, saturday I work up at the ski hill all day, well at least till 5, sunday I work another job, probably some weird shift somewhere during the day, and friday I work at the hill at 3 till late that night.

If you are checking out downtown, go check out hyde park, there are some really cool restaurants and shops there, the main downtown area is pretty cool as well, between 11th and 3rd st, 8th and 9th st have a lot of the bars and restaurants. A nice unique place is probably Tucanos Brazillian grill, if you want a really high end place check out barbacoa.

 

ouch, a kick right to the nads there

thats good. and i'd imagine it was a bit cold. it was -2 here this morning. I put my keys in my mouth when i got out of the truck and the key stuck to my tounge.

 

yeah, next time i head that way it is definitely going to be an all day adventure! but it will be worth it! I guess I need to find a stock truck to modify down here in grand junction just so i can get all the kinks out before I drive 7 hrs to install them...

 

Just saying what I think..

My truck looked bad with a plate bumper and 31x10.5s..least I thought it did..

Plus I couldn't pass an opportunity to poke fun at the skinny tire guys

 

I think the bumper looks good. He just needs 35s now. The approach angle looks big but that might be the angle of the pic. Do you have any side shots?

 

Yes!! Agree...fat 35s haha

 

How did you know?!?

To clarify I don't think the bumper is bad at all.

I'm saying that the reason why it might look awkward to people is due t the small tires.

 

looking at the picture with both trucks in it, its amazing to see how much of a difference adding 1.25" to the main center plate changed to look of brady's bumper!

 

Thanks, we will check them out.
