    Even better, the vaunted Ostrichsak is placing an order for a front plate bumper from all y'alls. ;)

    Aluminininimum... or if your British... Aloominium. :D

    LED light bar & fog light cutouts plus the Dually LED lights to go in them. I can't decide on a supported hoop or not but leaning clean look to not obscure my Satoshi which I dig the look of. On one hand it looks cool but it takes away from the look that I like plus it adds weight and costs money and makes it harder to get to my engine bay which I do a fair amount of being performance oriented and all. :D

    Dick. :mad:

    you should at least get the single hoop man!! it adds support and looks way better in my opinion.

    Good call on the rigid dually's!! did you get the amber covers or just go white light no cover?

    I don't know on the hoop man. Just can't decide. What do you mean adds support?

    I went with amber but was under the impression that the LEDs lit up amber and the lens was clear. Is this inaccurate?

    you can get the rigids either way, i got white light and then amber covers because i wanted the option of going back to white if i wanted.

    you would be adding side to side support across the bumper by adding the single center hoop with the two side braces connecting just under the headlights no? I could be wrong and that center hoop adds no support to the bumper but i would think if im jacking up on the bumper it would add some sort of support so the aluminum wouldnt want to flex at all. I plan on using a hi lift on mine though :D

    No, you're wrong. That's only stickers that do that. Center hoop adds 1-3hp

    I stand corrected. I'll be sure to include stickers and a bottle of NOS fuel additive

    Haha, I may have to stock up on fuel additive.
    Now its the time with the TCT Magazine promotion. 15% off.
    Lead times are stretching out a bit now though, with this and Black Friday we have really stacked up some new orders.

    If anyone has a set of Spidertrax (or like) wheel spacers they are looking to get rid of, let me know.

    Happy Friday

    Oh, okay. I wasn't aware that was an option. All I saw was white and amber and I wanted amber as my stock fogs right now have 3,000k (amber) HID kits in them and I love the look. Also, when it's snowing sideways a lot I can actually see the edges of the roads driving on back highways. That's something important for us non-city folk. ;)

    I would think that the bumper should be more than capable of handling that even w/o the added lateral support of a hoop.

    Yeah but then the weight offsets it to the tune of 11hp so the truck is ever-so-slightly slower and has worser MPGs.

    I'm just not sure it does look better yet. I like the look of the front of my truck and feel like the plate bumper (even sans hoop) will accentuate my rig. :cool:

    Stickers add 5hp. Why do y'all think I have some many on the back of my truck. Brraaaaap!! :D

    Oh mean, this reminds me, I was a mod on Gixxer.com like five (more?) years ago when that kid bought two bottles of NOS energy drink and poured them into his motorcycle gas tank. We spent some time in the mod section deciding if the kid was a troll or not. Ultimately it was proven he was not. Hilarity ensued and it was an epic thread of true world wide popularity for quite some time thereafter. Good times. Good times.
