Show Off Your Brute Force-Fabbed Gear!!

While snapping pictures, there were posts getting by him on TW. He is playing ketchup

 

Mine should be ready soon

 

Got the chance to speak with Billy today. Looks like mine is going to be welded and shipped next week. @ChadsPride When you installing yours?

 

Just bought the materials to paint it yesterday

Going to try and paint this weekend, install the one after.

 

Cant wait to see it on your truck
Im thinking about getting my bedsides cut this weekend so that I can just mount the bumper right up when it comes in

 

Does anyone have a 20" light bar mounted to the top of their bumper in front of the grille? If so how did you mount it? Did you have some brackets welded on or something different?

I plan to run 2 sets of pods in the bumper in a set of driving pattern lights with yellow Lamin-X as fog lights and a set of hyperspots but I want to add some type wide/flood type lighting up front. I prefer leaving the space above the winch open and didn't want to put a light bar in there so I need to figure out some way to add something on top.

 

@JeffRoyJenkins if you can't put the lights on top maybe consider putting them on the bottom side of the bumper

I have caliraised 20" light bar on my bf hybrid front. With the brackets they provide I only had to drill 2 holes through the top of the bumper

 

I'm digging that and the price is very nice as well.

 

Someone post some more pictures of Brute Armor... Im running out of parts that need to be installed that have been stacked up for too long!

12th week down (I did order everything, at least everything on his site)
Buying etching primer and Aerosol bed coating this coming week so I am prepared when I get that text/email.

 

I'm 7-weeks in... waiting for my electrical stuff to come in so I can keep myself occupied for a few weeks longer while I wait.

 

I was shopping for primer and top coats yesterday and noticed that Walmart has some enamel base coat primer. Im wondering if I should still go with an etching primer then an enamel top coat, or just some etching primer and duplicolor bed coating?

 

For my sliders I went etching primer -> bed liner -> satin-black top coat. The satin top coat has kept the bed liner color from dulling with dust and age. My only hesitation on bedliner is unless you're good with the spray can, you can get some variation in the texture which could be more obvious on a bumper vs slider bars.

 

Ive painted quite a lot of things in my day, I have used the bed liner stuff as well. Im just not sure if I want my bumpers and everything coated with it or not. Thought about doing just satin black paint, Billy told me he could have it all powder coated for a good price, but I know it will eventually chip and it'll drive me nuts not being able to touch it up and it match

 

Did Billy do the cutouts for your lights or did you do them yourself?

 

Billy did those. With the 2016 he can fit the BD's now.

 

Is that a 5# LPG Tank? What the diameter of that tank? What did you use to mount the tank?
Thanks Blake!!!
