    Also, they need to be 63" not 65. I'll shoot you a PM when I finish cutting grass and we'll work out payment and details. I may have two more friends that will order a set, but I'll have to ask today.

    So I need 1 set of sliders w/kickout at 63" overall..

    What's the word fellas? Hope everyone has been doing good. Been a minute since I posted, but wanted y'alls opinion. I'm considering ordering a Relentless Fab rear plate bumper, but I've heard more horror stories than good about shipping issues, no one answering or returning phone calls, etc. Last time I checked they were 6-7 months out on new orders, and that somehow I think that's a bit on the quick side. What do yall think? Thanks! :confused:

    PS- Went out and rode through the hoover met about a month ago, and damn. Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud Mud. Everywhere mud. haha

    Not sure if you've seen my bumpers or not but while theres a chance at free shipping it may be worth it to you to get in on.. only have around two weeks to get in on the free shipping but there are some pics in the 1st gen bumper thread.

    Rear hybrid with swingout.
    (Owner modified the hilift mounts to the way it is here, way I do it is up on top of the swingout tube behind spare)

    Money send for sliders! Woohoo! :)

    Now I got to stop spending and buy some gears, but I found a E-locker rear axle for $500 so I may go get it and use the 3rd in the front.. Lol

    Thanks! Just throwin another option out there for you if you decide you don't want to wait forever for a bumper and get free shipping or close to it! depends on what travis says as he will be bringing 3 sets of sliders from SC back to AL and your only about 45 minutes to an hour up the road from him.

    I appreciate it! Dude, I love your sliders as well. They aren't high up on my mod list at the moment, but when I get to them, I will definitely be hollering at you. Right now I would say I tend to roll without the kickout.

    :thumbsup: Package deals can be made :cool:
    If you got a rear bumper w/ swingout and sliders ill personally deliver them and do a combo discount.

    Im looking into getting a mobile stick welder so I can do mobile installs for guys who cant come to me if it were a situation like that where id be in town for a little while and could do it

    That was a few weeks ago I was told about them, I just never looked into it much. Id be happy with a LP elocker housing up front though id have to re gear it but still to have two elocker switches on the dash :jerkoff:

    I don't need them anyways. I need to worry about regearing the axles I already have, but you tricked me into a set of sliders.

    A Crap Load

    I am at 7 months now on my front bumper and am PM'ing with someone else that is at 10. I really want the aluminum bumper but this is really trying my patience. Eric at Relentless has plenty of business but can't seem to find someone to weld aluminum at the level of quality he wants (have heard this from other welding shops/welders as well). Very frustrating to say the least. You might relay that concern to him if you call and talk to him. He takes some time sometimes to respond but imagine it is just taking away time from getting things done.

    Wow! 7 months and another at 10!? Man, I bet you're getting antsy. I feel like my patience would've left me long ago at that rate. This is my hold up with ordering from them. I've also heard stories of people waiting 8 or 9 months for their order and then getting the wrong stuff when it finally did arrive. Frustrating is right. It is a great looking bumper(s) but damn. I will definitely have to relay this should I order. Thanks for the feedback, and I hope you get your order soon!
