    I just called the number on the website on got a hold of him right away. I am picking up my HC rear bumper at the end of the month.

    Doesn’t seem like a big shop so probably have to just call more then once.

    After having the Brute force Fab front bumper on my 3rd gen for just over 14 months now, I ran into a problem today. The bumper was rubbing against the AC line causing a leak. I'm not sure if it's my fault or not but I just wanted to share and bring it to attention so it doesn't happen to you. It does look like the bumper was installed correctly. What I ended up doing after the repair was bend the AC line for more clearance. Fortunately for me, my brother can weld aluminum. Btw, the Tacoma uses the R-1234yf $$$

    I had this issue with my bumper too (different brand), and did this fix....works like a charm so far.

    Nothing too exciting... maybe a little rust
    30 day limited warranty on that Coke seems like a deal though

    Very nice. Are you getting any lights for the rear? If so, which ones?

    I will get lights but not sure yet. Time to start research that too. A lot of my friends run Rigid but I gotta see what works best for me. Any suggestions?

    I do highly recommend rigid though. To me it's the most reasonable for the quality. It's been hard to justify the Baja designs level stuff at 3x the price and seem too many of cheap stuff fail to be willing to deal with that for 1/3x the price

    Thanks for the input. As a Laker fan, I don't know if I can ever run something green but it'll be something for me to look into. How do the rigid lights fit into the cutouts for the bumper?

    Fit really good, assuming he uses the same set up for rear as he does front. You need flush mount brackets I believe.

    Yea I like the way it turned out- Just want to make sure there is plenty of room for these big boys to move as I used to rub with 285/75/16s and now I am on 285/75R17's and beyond . I was a bit worried but I went ahead and I like the end result.
