    Lol just do it. I missed this GB by a few days. Ended up ordering one a month later (beginning of August). Now I'm waiting for mine to be fabricated. You only save $100, I'd rather have it that much sooner than wait 6-8 months for another GB

    Oh, okay. Well that works. I guess I might order one soon then. If I hear from Tim. I had a few questions for him and I know it will be a while before I hear from him

    That's a fact.
    Give him a ring, leave a voicemail saying you want one but had a few questions before money is on the table. He usually calls back within a couple of days.

    :eek: Damn. A month behind schedule. You have word on the progress of your bumper? Get any add ons/powder coat?

    I ordered mine in early August, hoping to get it before the beginning of December.. Half guard, shipped bare metal

    Ah gotcha. I'm sure it'll be at Fastenal's in no time. I just hope they don't mess up your powder coat during the shipping process

    :thumbsup:


    On a related note, I got an email from Tim this evening.
    So ladies & gents, he is in fact alive, just probably very swamped at the moment.

    That's good ^ Since he is really busy to answer, I think I would have better luck asking here from past buyers. Lol. Okay, so center light hoop with half grill guard is the center hoop with the tubes connecting the sides of the hoop to the bumper, correct? I plan on getting it powder coated, but don't see the option on the options on his site, so how do I add that to my order and how much is it? This is for a 2nd gen and a regular buy.

    Tim had issues with his powder coating shop. At least that is what he told me and why my sliders shipped bare.

    Oh. Dangit. It's just the closest place to me that does powder coating is like a 45 minute drive and it's probably more.

    Powder coating the front bumper really isn't worth it IMO anyway. You'll end up with rock chips in no time no matter what and need to touch it up. Might as well start off with spray paint.

    Yes the center light hoop with half grill guard looks like this (pulled the image from Blackdawg's build):


    I just checked on his site to see what you were talking about & I don't have the option to powder coat either :confused: Might have to give him a call/leave a voicemail or shoot him an email. That or do some shopping in your neck of the woods and see how much businesses charge to powder coat the bumper
