    I’m pretty sure Billy will build it however you want. He did for me and others I have seen.

    Hi. Can you kindly please let me know where I can find that license plate bracket for Billy’s bumper? Is there a plate bracket for his front bumper too? Thanks

    Anyone have any experience with using a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier with the high clearance bumper and swingout? I'm skeptical of the strength of an extension to clear the spare tire. I'm thinking it's going to be a little long to.

    Going to email or message , but has anyone heard of any Black Friday sales coming up for brute force?

    mom looking at the hc bumper with swing outs. If you guys are getting the table does it make more sense on a single swing out so it’s larger?

    Also, the website shows some info but don’t see anything on it it’s single shear or double and the hinge mechanism and if it locks at 90 and 180

    thanks In advance

    Yesterday I took off work and visited the man himself Billy in Clovis, California. Only took me about 3 hours to get there so not bad at all. From the order date to the time they were ready to install was about 11 weeks. The order was for a set of sliders and a hybrid front bumper for a 2017 OR Long Box. That is absolutely amazing considering I ordered Mobtown skids about six months ago and they still are not able to give me a ship date. Plus Mobtown has all my money and Bruteforce only asks for a down payment then paid in-full on ship/install date. Anyways... Every time I talked to Billy on the phone we would chat about 4x4 stuff and life stuff. This did not change when I got to the shop. He is such a good guy and stands behind his products even when his customers are total morons! The prices are very fair, the welds are beautiful, and the finished result left me speechless. The sliders were welded on to the frame and they can actually be removed which is a very nice feature. I put on a couple coats of primer when I got home yesterday afternoon. The final color will be bronze to match the Method's. Front bumper is getting the Baja's installed after I get off work. If you have questions hit me up. Otherwise enjoy the Taco Porn.

    SLIDER update**** I got a few coats of self etching primer on the BF Sliders and then a couple coats of pain. I was trying to match the rims and the rear skid. They will get banged up anyways so I feel like paint was the way to go.

    Anyone have a HC rear bumper for a 3rd Gen they're looking to sell? ;) I just got the front and the rear has a long lead time.

    Sometimes the power of social media is amazing. Was able to source a rear bumper this weekend to start the New Year off!

    Anyone have a link to purchase a replacement latch for the dual swing out. One is not secure enough even after giving the bolt adjustment its max setting.
