Relentless Fabrication - 2016+ Tacoma High Clearance Rear Bumper

How does the tire carrier come on and off? My main concern is that someone could steal it, but it is definitely a nice feature!

 

It won't come off very easily - without some serious work, a second set of hands, plasma cutter, etc.

The carrier arm is attached at the pivot with a 1" bolt and nylock nut. It takes 2 large wrenches to remove. You can lock the latch as well making it harder to remove, but the fact of the matter is if anyone wants something bad enough they are going to take it. It would be more likely that someone would try to steal the tire or fuel cans on a carrier before attempting to take the actual carrier itself. Not to mention then that thief would need to figure out a way to attach the carrier arm for whatever else they are stealing it for as the other components are welded onto the bumper that make up the complete assembly.

Hope this helps!

Absolutely, thanks!

Also, do you guys offer installation and if so how much do you charge?

 

We aren't offering installation services due to COVID-19 safety regulations until further notice. Once we're cleared, we've got a pretty sizable installation backlog that we'll have to work through, so it might be faster to select another shop for your installation. With our production lead times being fairly short right now, we recommend working with another off-road shop to get your product installed more quickly. When we are doing installations, they are on an hourly basis at $125/hr.

Installed it this past weekend. Amazing product. Some words of advice for those looking to do the install yourself or to @RelentlessFabrication
The install instructions for the 3rd gen high clearance rear bumper were great for the most part except:
1. It doesn't mention anything for the swing out itself.
(After much searching, if you look at the IG highlights for the 2nd gen bumper they talk about it there)
2.In regard to the trailer tow wiring it just says you need to extended but doesn't recommend how to accomplish that
(If you look at their IG highlights for the 3rd gen they recommend a product to extend the trailer wiring)

3. No mention on how to go about relocating the backup camera. (Still researching)

Again, love the product but didn't love all the researching I had to do and still have to do to finish up.

 

Looks great Danny!

Well that was hands down the scariest cut ever, butt pucker factor 11/10 but it looks good. Here's the finished product, I used just spray paint but I think it turned out good.

 

Looks great!

What wheels are those?
