what % tint is that?

 

It's 5% on all windows but the windshield.

 

Where can I get your headlight setup??

Thanks brotha

 

No problem I am also thinking of picking up a set from him since I scratched my stocks pretty good. I'll keep the original ones for back up and safety inspection.

 

I spied your truck at Tyler's shop on Thursday when I was picking up my bumper and tank skid. Truck looks awesome, has come a long way from the last time I saw it.

 

Thanks man! Yah I bet it has, still have quite a few things on my to do list, but who doesn't I guess lol. I want a tank skid lol, all this talk about it.

 

Bro...You were my inspiration on the new bumper I ordered from Pelfreybilt! I was in a dilemma over the full hoops or just center and went back and forth until I decided on just the center. It's a tough choice as I like them both, but Satin told me she liked yours the best...haha The was the kicker that pushed me to get the center...lol Oh yeah...and getting the gas skid...

 

SICK truck!

 

Nice truck.

Ambiguous does good work but don't expect him to help you out if your order gets messed up

 

That's awesome man! Glad I could lead you down the right path! I was pretty torn between the hoops myself. When I get new headlights I think I'll run all 3 hoops for protection. I need the gas skid lol...

 

Man!...now you're gonna go with full hoops!!! Maybe I should revert back to my original order and get the whole thing...hmmm...lol I really like the look of both, but I'm torn, and now you're eventually gonna go there...lmao! I need moral support and a push...haha

 

3 hoops!

 

I know right! Fuck...it was driving me crazy trying to decide. Damn...guess I'll call Satin and reverse the order back to 3 hoops before they get too far along in the build...

 

Haha, I think the single hoop looks better, but the 3 hoops serve good function.

 

I agree, single hoop looks best, full hoops help keep the bushes and chit off your fenders. They make for a nice spot to attach a limb riser if you have a roof rack too.
Matt (Rebel Taco) (The Traveler) had to use a headlight hoop to winch off of when he got in a bad spot last weekend. They sure as hell were not designed for that but glad it worked out and he got out of harms way safely. Whatever it takes sometimes.

Edit: the full hoops do act as an additional gusset to the main part of the bumper, never know when that might be needed. If you were to hit a deer etc it might help.

 

Tyler...I'm not gonna drive Satin crazy by switching my order over and over. I think I will just live with what I'm getting for now... The terrain on Oahu is not too demanding for full-hoops really. Guess it's a user defined thing... Btw...you done yet?... jk Us Oahu TW members will get a group photo of all the Pelfreybilts lined up for ya. Should be impressive...

 

Also if you want the hoops later Member Bullacalla? Got the single then welded the 2 others on later.
