Feeler: Pelfreybilt 2012+ Front Plate Bumper GB

Well, I took a look at how to go about mounting the factory fogs. The factory ones are really awkward on the backside where they mount. I couldn't see any good way to use them that would make much sense. I don't doubt that it could be done but it's not something that I am going to be doing. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, it's just not a feature that I am going to be offering. Sorry

 

Does room exist, once the bumper is mounted, to weld (self) a short (~<1") tab or perch to the lower/bottom edge of the light bucket? This I can then drill/tap for my light bracket?

Also (sorry for all of the questions) as far as a tube reciever goes (for an on/off winch application) can this be placed in the center face of the bumper (strength/rigidity?) and overlaid/reinforced with a heavier piece of square plate fitted/mig'ed in accordingly?

 

There is already a tab welded to the bottom of the bucket so youre in good shape there.
The receiver/hitch would be mounted where the existing winch fairlead hole is if that is when you are looking for. It would be tied into main frame of bumper and be very rigid.

 

Outstanding! Info/replyb is much appreciated!

Bump. Come on guys only a couple more

 

I hear what you are saying. However, if you could make the fog light cutouts 4" diameter (instead of 3") I could make my stock fog lights fit.

 

I'm interested in this if there is still room.. put me on the list please =)

 

Got ya added! Come on people only 2 left

 

sweet, i've been wanting one of these for a while

 

Hopefully this still going when I'm ready, awaiting some news that will make or break decision.

 

Which I no longer have

 

Tax return over $6k waiting on that....

 

And if I didn't have to pay $1300 for an electrician to do bathroom and wiring for hot tub, one would already be on order for my taco and the fj

 

You should be good, I'm going to make this an official GB pretty quick and get these things rolling out of here for the guys that are on the list. We will keep it open for a bit so others can get in on the deal.

 

It's official, lets get this thing going. Thanks everyone

Sorry, I just saw this. Currently the cutout is 3.5" and there is little room to go larger without the hole falling into the bend lines and deforming the material around the cutout. Sorry.

 

Count me in Tyler, i will hit you up with a PM. I cant wait to get home from this deployment and spend some time in the garage with just me, the truck, and some beers...and of course my new awesome bumper.

 

Sounds good, GB is already off and running. I'll look for your PM. I like your idea of quality time, I do the same when I can. Thanks

Do you have anything going in aluminum .?

 

Haven't yet, considering it but the current models in steel are already pretty light so it hasn't become a priority.
