    I thinking of making a purchase of a Relentless Fabrication plate bumper with hitch for the rear of my 2008 Tacoma. :D My question is how do they mount, are they direct bolt on or do you use the factory mounting hardware.

    My bumpers mount to the 5 factory bolt locations per rail that the factory hitch uses. The factory bolts are retained, factory bumper and hitch are replaced with the new bumper

    Now for the tough question, how soon could I get one ? ;) Since My truck had a mind of it's own and backed into a tree, mine is somewhat, bent. lol If one was ordered could it be sent directly to the body shop ?

    Thanks again for the help and quick response.

    Well, 'soon' and my armor don't really belong in the same sentence. ... There is a several month wait time on my armor. :eek:

    Yeah, kind of had a feeling it would be awhile. But then again I thought you may have some built ahead. :D
    Being that far behind really is a good thing for you in the respect of job security. :cheers:
    I think that's awesome your business is thriving like it is.
    I've read enough on here to figure out, you da' man with the good chit !! Just curious if you have an estimated time frame so I would know how long I'll be driving around with a bent bumper. LOL

    I believe all modals are direct bolt on to factory mounts

    I believe that fully assembled bumpers have a wait time of 5-7 months and DIY kits have a wait time of 3-4 weeks.

    I just acquired a used plate bumper with no hardware whatsoever. Can anyone give me an idea what kinda stuff is shipped with these bumpers as far as mounting and license plate hardware?

    Thanks.
