Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Derpwerx FTW!

 

whats the real difference between the ATO "high clearance" bumper and other "high clearance" outside of the fact that you don't have to cut the sides?

 

ATO, CBI and relentless all require cutting the bed for their hi clearance bumper. My choice to go with CBI came down to customer service. The other 2 didnt respond to emails for a week or more when I was shopping.

 

i think based on jon's experience with them, i would go with CBI. But what I was curious was if there was any actual height/clearance difference between

this:


and this:


I'm kinda torn whether or not to get a swing away arm since I do use my rear camera a lot, esp when towing. Is there a way to relocate that to the arm?

 

yeah, i caught that, i was talking to a buddy about a bunch of different fabricators and i had a freudian slip.

putting the pics in comparison you can really see the difference. the CBI shows the cutoff exhaust and spare tire.

so now to find a sneaky way to relocate the rearview camera to a swing arm mount, and i might be ordering one

 

The red truck is all pro. Those side pieces just bolt to the bumper and sit over the bed side and no bed material is removed.
the black truck is actually mine. Yes there is more clearance from the bed side not coming down as far.
I have heard of people relocating the camera but have not looked into it to see whats involved.

 

and it's either an HC bumper or a spingfield m1a... too bad the only one i've found for a decent price are up in dallas.

 

Just seen a clean black dclb lifted, aftermarket flares, hybrid front bumper. Running around pearland

 

there's a guy who relocated his, but he didn't have a write up and i can't remember his name even though i just read it.

 

What company in dallas is selling the m1a? I have a friend that works at a gun shop and it sounds like something they would sell.

 

its either the bumper or the rifle...... i've never felt more torn about a decision in my life.

 

i think i should finish Beowulf first. :/ i need to find a decent lower.

 

Why not get a DW bumper and the m1a??

 

i can't wait 18 months for him to jog his way to his welding muhsheen. lol. i'd be like 82093845723 on the list.

but i like the way you think.

 

How's it goin guys? I'm new here and couldn't find a direct fix for my situation when doing searches in the forums. Attached is a pic setup of my current and proposed exhaust mod that I plan to do soon. I was hoping for any input regarding loss of torque or anything like that. I'm trying to keep it stock as possible. Thanks all and glad to be a part of this community.

 

rear bumper. douche.

 

didn't you just buy an ATO rear?

 

So I just filled up and I average 14 mpg! Fuck you old man winter I want my 19 mpg back

 

yeah, but the end point will be an HC.
