Calgary Roll Call

for a snatch block and also to help pull out my other buddies lol. atm my rig is recovery rig lol being locked front and rear

 

Also those ARB's EAT 35's or 33's especially with a LT kit. Frank has his ARB trimmed really far.

 

how so? just the weight? or turning? i had lots of clearence with my 33's on the ome lift...

 

While flexing. He has the other style of ARB...Older maybe? Not sure how much different they are.

 

dunno? oh well i was not totally happy with the long term use of the bumper, so time to improve!

 

Hmm, the powder coating? I've heard that complaint for a few other bumpers as well. Guess this part of the world is a harsher environment then they're coated for haha. Thanks for that feedback!

 

well my rear bumper is cruisin off road and my rear has lower 1/4 pannel protection wich wraps around and goes right behind the rear tires. i didnt run mudflaps for almost a year and the rocks and salt didnt effect the powder coating at all... im sold

 

What you looking at for the front....or did I miss that info?

Seems like Powder Coating is hit and miss. Also depends how clean you keep the truck and where its sitting when not being used. Someones truck sitting outside is bound to show signs of wear quicker if it sits outside all the time compared to a truck that stays in a dry warm parkade all year. Rust will grow in the little chips and pits way quicker on a truck parked outside all year round for sure!

 

im doing the cruisin routa all way round, my truck is outside all the time, poor thing. but i love it as much as i can

 

You need a bigger winch.

ARB powder coating is probably the best in the business.

15 minutes with an angle grinder, wire wheel and a rattle can of semi gloss Krylon. Done and done.

And yes the ARB will eat 33's 35's full stuff. But it was made for stock tire. You can't stuff a 33/35 fully anyways without chopping the body mount so it's kind of a moot point.

15 minutes with a plasma cutter and an angle grinder...

 

I got a vr10000 for a winch and have decided im gonna go up to 34" rubber anyways. Arb powder coat Best in the business ill argue that.

 

Who's better would you say?

And if you say AllPro I'm going to walk to your house, slap you and laugh maniacally.

 

All poo hahahhahahahaa as stated b4 cruisins pc seem to be holding up very well. On that note let me reword what i said, im sure arb pc is good for Australia and place of dry climates around here i dont see it suits.

 

I'd have to see pictures of theirs. Not to mention how many winters with how much driving was done.

 

I have it on my rear bumper i have a winter on it with some of it right behind my tires and 1 little chip so far lol

 

Rear bumper doesn't get pelted like the front does from following behind other vehicles.

 

Go away lol guess time will tell then

 

My Allpro powder coat is boss! I have no pitting or rusting at all in a HIGH chip zone where the rear sticks out past the body in direct line of fire from the rear tires. No rust or pitting anywhere on it and I would say its been almost 2 full years on my truck.
Front bumper is also looking flawless with the powder coat from CBI. No complaints about either and am very happy with the products of both companys.

If you have good tire poke, no mud flaps, and drive on our roads and better yet off road then you wouldnt argue that the rear bumper gets a fair share of major abuse. Mine is still holding up really good!

 

Yarp!

 

Any highly recommended tint shops in Cowtown?
