    Oh by the way. My top plate was shipped very safely! He has 2x4's drilled together around the plate! Haha I'm guessing to keep it from bowing.

    What kinda bumper did you get??? I have a relentless that I ordered on Saturday morning, so I'm pumped, but also unsure of the wait time for a DIY bumper. Hopefully no longer than 3 weeks. Where are you taking yours to get welded?

    A Relentless :D

    I ordered it on the 15th, so it's been just under 3 weeks.

    I'm taking mine to a local welding company that does welding for big businesses, so I'm hoping they do a good job.... Haha They're certified, so we'll see.

    Do they need your truck when welding the bumper together, For fitment purposes?

    My plan at the moment is to learn how to weld and do it my self. I have an uncle that's a great welder and has a trailer with all pro grade equipment. I want him to teach me some basics that way I can build other mods like a rear bumper.

    That's the plan as of now, but if I don't learn before the bumper gets here then I'll probably be to excited and pay someone to do it. We'll see

    Now that I've looked at all the parts, I think I'm going to just have to hang out at the welding shop and help. Way too many parts.....

    That's a lot of pieces you got there PCB! I had to go with the All Pro tube bumper because I needed one asap but I'm going to buy a welder and plate it til get the hybrid feel I'm after.

    I'm kinda wishing I would have got the cut outs now. I like the look of the ARB and how it has solid wing plates. Well maybe I can cut them out later, somehow.

    Haha I was thinking the same thing, like 10 plates at most. But this thing has like 20+ pieces. I'm excited though, can't wait to see yours on Brent. Post some pics while they are welding it together if you can.

    I'm sure you could order just the mounts from Eric and you could just use the mounts as a template to cut the holes.
    Will do. I plan to be there Friday at 7:00 a.m. and if they will let me(which they should) I'm going to hang out and help as well as provide pictures so we can line everything up correctly.

    Then I'm going to try my best to get it all painted on Saturday at the auto hobby shop. Then have to be at work at 11:00 p.m. that night... Haha
