XPOTRPR build & BS

alright guys... I need everyone's opinions and viewpoints on what to go with for tax returns..

right now.. the main two options that I'm stuck between are the Ucon EMS and a Pelfrey rear HC bumper w/ swingout.

Ucon isnt out yet.. and no definite release date has been set.. but from what I have been getting back from over on XRU is that is right around the corner.. how true that is.. ehh..

I would love to finally be able to tune the truck and get it running as optimal as possible. I have been waiting for an EMS for years now. stop it from running rich AF, get some more power, be able to drop to an even smaller pulley for more boost, etc.

price is $1500~

---------

Pelfrey Bumper.. I can order right meow.. would be nice to get my spare tire out of the bed, stop getting hung up on the rear when wheeling, and have a second fold down table and mounts for cans, etc.

but.. its gonna add a bit of weight..

price is $1300~

I would love to do the EMS first so I can enjoy the extra power with my current weight.. to take full advantage of it.. but it would also be nice to get it after some armor so I can make up for the weight.

 

HC rear, you will get instant gratification and use. By the time the other comes out you may have monies for it.

 

thats kinda what Lyd and I were thinkin too.. but that weight.. and then it really makes me want to get a matching front..

will be interesting how the BOSS leafs handle the weight too.. I will definitely need to add back in the 2nd overload..

 

I would suggest letting Brandon box in the frame also. The reason being is the amount of stress that open Swingout puts on the frame. I can get you taken care of on that for sure.

Yes, you will want both. You have plenty of speed and power now but the weight will need some mods to handle it.

700# springs or perhaps 650# if you move the battery to the bed or under it. Not to mention if that boss pack flattens and you need an expo pack

 

Pelfrey Rear first, no doubt.

 

possibly.. I dont see it as I need.. but I might do it.. idk.

may or may not need the 700# springs as I'm going with an Aluminium front.

2 for rear bumper..

 

HC rear first do sure. Build time is 3-4 months anyway. Maybe the EMS is out by then, maybe it isn't. Either way you can stash some cash over those 3-4 months while the bumper is being built to save up for the EMS.

And nice try using the "If I get the rear I'll want the front" excuse. You already know you want both homie!!

 

I vote HC rear

 

damn is it really that far out..

and yeah. i have a feeling the front will be coming sooner than I expected if I get the rear. lol

 

Are lead times really that long for PF? I thought Satin said they were almost caught up?

 

@Pelfreybilt

happen to have any clarification? lookin to order a rear here pretty soon

 

just paid for this template..

after last weekends mud and snow.. and it ripping my inner fender liners off constantly.. decided to just do this.

 

Maybe they've been able to catch up. I know not too long ago guys were waiting 13 weeks.

 

Get a HC!!!!

 

guess I would of known that if I had the bookfaces..

sorry to hear.. my thoughts are with them.

 

Just wanted you to know buddy.

 

appreciate it.

 

Anything for my Mooseknuckles
