    They’re good. I’ve got rock sliders and a hitch skid plate from them on my truck. I use the hell out of both. Rock sliders save my cab all the time and I’m yet to rip my rear bumper off. I’ve drug my rear bumper from hitting crazy angles , but paint damage is nothing compared to ripping the bumper off. I’m actually shopping for a high clearance rear bumper now. Lol

    My next thing will have to be a lift and taller tires on my Pro. I play too hard for stock clearance. I’m so conflicted on what to get. I know what I want , I just don’t know the best combination to get my desired outcome. The WarRig is looking so insanely badass these days. You guys have turned that Tacoma into a beast.

    Because of @In4aride WarFabs equipment I’ve gotten the truck in a more purpose built setup because now the truck performs the way it should by having light weight armor. The clearance and approach angles are insane and all these factors make the truck more capable in tight quarters.

    But if building your dream truck wasn’t good enough reason, their customer service is hands down the best!

    I got the Patton Sliders in DOM. 24* angle
    Painted them myself because I usually have to touch them up after a full weekend of wheeling. I didn’t get a kick out , but only because I don’t like the look of kick outs. Kick outs do provide better protection for your rear wheels etc etc and will push you away from stuff.

    I just keep mine primer shot anymore. LOL
    I got sick of painting it to look good.
    I’ve actually hit a corner of it hard enough that it has a slight bend on one side. That’s one beefy piece of steel to bend. BOOM!

    Those look great at 24*

    I'm close enough to these guys to just drive over and get stuff. No shipping required.
    I bet I'll get lots of their armor.

    Product is great and nice but have some missing things.

    Poor customer service, I had bought an phantom back bumper with double swingout. When my order came in. I was missing all my hardware plus the bar to hold my jerry cans.
    Called warfab and the lady told me that they use oem hardware which I already know and was not calling about that. She then told me that she would go into the “warehouse” and talk to some one from there. I waited a couple of days and got no call back.

    I then sent out an email after that regarding my hardwares that were missing and never got an email back. So I decided to call again. When I called a lady answered and asked for my order number which I gave her, she then proceeds to tell me that she will send me my hardware in a few days after she gets it together.

    A few weeks goes by and I did not get anything. I spent good money for this bumper which did came out great price of work but I did not get any hardware to attach anything. I had to go make runs around ace and fastenal so I can get my bumper up on the truck which cost a lot more money then what was needed to begin with.

    I would not be mad if they just simply for got the hard ware and actually send it out to me but instead they are ignoring the calls/emails and I also had to spend my time to find matching hardwares just so I can get the bumper up and going.

    Product is nice and looks great but will have to spend more money and time to find hardwares at other stores
    Customer service is horrible and non-responsive after the product have been ship

    it’s the best bumper. Looks the best. Only thing that matches a slider.
    Very high clearance.
    Forgive me if I’m wrong as I have a 2nd gen, but at least on my truck, there is no need to “buy hardware” - you re use the factory bolts to mount it. Just like on any other steel bumper.

    if they are busy I imagine that is normal due to high demand and trying to meet it.
    They have the best lead times.
    Nobody has to put a steel bumper let alone the same day.
    i think if another company has a 7mo lead time and theirs is 2mo, that still gives you some relaxing time to figure things out if a bolt is missing

    not that I know anything about swingouts, what’s used to attach them or how they ship - I don’t.
