    Anyone running a relentless fab bumper, if so what skid plate are you using?

    Looking to see what fits and is functional.

    thanks

    I have their Predator bumper and it’s supposed to fit the factory skid. I just never installed mine.

    I'm running the Predator bumper, and also their front (and mid) skid, which are great because compared to some, they have good gusseting. I know they don't list them on the site anymore since there are fewer and fewer 1st gens out there, but you might contact Eric or Britany and see if you can special order one, or put together a list of a few folks to make it worth their while. @RelentlessFab

    I asked Eric what he recommended and he had no suggestions, other than everyone is getting away from offering any first gen stuff.
    I'm just glad he still offers the predator bumper.

    I guess I could see if there is a minimum order that he might run a batch for.

    I've got RCI's skids on my Tundra, but I wanted to make sure what ever I chose didn't look like dog crap in combination with the bumper.

    Is anyone using RCI's skid plate with the Relentless fab bumpers?

    Did you ever find skids to go with the predator bumper? I’d be down to sign up for a relentless 1st gen Tacoma skid group buy.

    I'd go with Budbuilt if I were to get skids again. Pretty sure they'll work with the Relentless bumper.
