    My dampener was getting bashed up a lot off-road so I took it off about 2months ago, I haven't noticed any increased vibrations whatsoever, you'll be fine :thumbsup:

    I'm glad to hear that. I might not even have to worry about putting it back on when I get skid plates. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

    Made progress on welding... More to come though...

    Started grinding down the outside of the bumper as well...

    I got roughly 1/3 of the outside ground but I got a lot more to go...

    More tomorrow...

    These work REALLY well for cleaning up edges after welding. They don't last very long but for clean up work with the least amount of grinding marks, they work the best.

    We're using flap disc. 36/40 grit and 80 grit. Paint stripping disc would be interesting to see how it would work, and what sort of finish I would get.

    Exterior of the base bumper is nearly finished... Spend most of my time grinding away to make it smooth. Looks great so far, and it can only get better.

    Thanks... Most likely I'm going to a ton of semi-gloss black spray paint.

    Which rear bumper you going with? Wrap around or basic?

    Oh yeah the paint stripping disc leaves a lot better finish than flap discs. You'll see!

    I envy you so much... I'm short some cash, but I'll get there soon. Relentless Fabrications' wrap around rear bumper is next on my list of purchases for my truck.

    I cant wait.. I've been told its going to ship tues/wed. Got the front bumper fully fabricated, it will probably be here around christmas. Wanted the rear quicker so i ordered it DIY. What did you use? UPS or Fastenal?

    Technically, I went with Fastenal, which should have taken a week or so for it to arrive, but I got it the next day... I'll probably use Fastenal for the rear bumper as well... Got to save every penny for this truck! :D

    I'm using fastenal also, I figured i was close enough is Reno that it should take about the same amount of time. Your post confirmed that :D. I have to save for the OME lift I want.. Adding all this weight isnt going to go well with stock.
