The Relentless Fab lowdown thread: whats new, current builds, FAQ’s, etc.

I made a prototype hybrid over 2 years ago actually for member in Florida. Never received any pictures of it from him though. I'd be interested in making a new hybrid front if you're interested!

They should be fine without rolling the lip or anything. They'll be a little flimsy, but I see it as a good thing actually. If you happen to be down in some ruts with a tree root sticking out, or you happen to slide over toward a rock or tree, the flimsy bedside will push back rather than hold position and dent in. At least that was how I saw it, and never reinforced mine on my old 07 Tacoma

 

I actually dont have the shackle yet just looking towards ordering a set. Go ahead and put some 1" hole mounts on. If anything ill just utvsome tape on the pin if it ends up too big. Thanks for the quick response.

 

When you cut the besides, did you have to touch up the cut part with paint to prevent flaking/rust?

Btw truck looks unreal.

 

Eric any news on the bumper being shipped. this month makes a year when I ordered it.

Thanks for the info on bedsides guys ... here's another question for your Eric.. I've been looking at 1.5" body lifts on the forums.here... seems like theres a few people running thrm.with no problems . How much of a pain in the ass will it be for me to get the bumpers modifide to fit the body lift?

 

Trying to line up a new shop space, should know if I can swing it here by the end of the week or for sure beginning of next week. over double the size of my current shop.
Then i'll finally have room to get a couple more guys helping and knocking stuff out with me!

 

Great to hear Eric!!

 

please hire me away from the rat race

 

Thanks PSU.

 

any updates on how things are going eric?

 

Hey Eric I got the bumpers thanks a lot!! If I end up doing a body lift will I be able to.mod them to work.with 1.5"?

 

They're certainly goin!
I've been crazy busy the last couple weeks(hell when arent I?) and been looking into getting a larger shop. Trying to get more space as my current shop is now just too cramped and I dont have enough room for all the manpower I need to get things knocked out quicker. Just waiting to hear from the property manager, and hopefully I can get my deposit in soon on the new place.
You've got a couple months left it looks like Thayer

Unfortunately, its not likely. The ones designed for no BL cant really be modded for a body lift. Its part of the build that they're modified, as the whole center of the front is cut different, and the rears get different mounting plates for a body lift to allow the mounting holes to be lower.

 

Looking to find out about how long it would take to get a set of bumpers built and shipped. Looking to order front and rear plate bumpers for a 2009 tacoma. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Damn! Oh well thanks anyways I'll put some pictures up for everyone as soon as I get my truck and bumpers line xd

 

Any new updates Eric

Relentless rear made a fool of a mustang today. It tagged me on the side wing as it was backing out of a parking spot and I was passing. While not a high speed crash it was a vulnerable area.

Relentless win. Not hardly a scratch.

 

Hey Eric what's the the current down time for a front aluminum plate bumper?

 

PM replied Brandon

 

BIG NEWS!

Looks like Relentless Fab is going to be moving soon! Just got word that I've been approved for a new shop I've had my eye on, its only about a mile from my current location.
The new shop is 2 1/2 times the size of my current shop with a much more efficient layout, so we'll be hiring shortly and then able to get more armor pumped out. Lead times(and wait time for those who've already ordered) should start to get shorter in the not-too-distant future!

 

Congrats Eric. Super happy to hear about the shorter lead times
