How the burrito feels on cobbles

 

I had one spare and a 50-60lb tool bag and two gas cans, and not sure on calving I bought them used but I’m gunna rebuild them this week so I’ll find out, it’s definitely over spring though

 

So who’s got the best looking Baja style rear bumper. Need to order one ASAP
Something simple

 

I don’t think anyone makes a production bolt on rear tube bumper like your talking about. Here’s a few real simple ones I’ve made. I’m sure you could have your fabricator whip something up.

 

BYOB

Honestly, if you have access to a bender, I think that would be your best bet.

 

Ain’t no tube benders in the Army. I have one at home but that’s about 1700 miles away. So if someone sells tube bumpers out of their garage. Hit me up.

 

Yeah. That’s exactly what I want. Looks killer. How much did you charge for that

 

I can’t really remember but it wouldn’t be an accurate reflection of what it should cost as I have a really well paying career and no shop overhead so it’s really not a representation of what a real shop would charge, plus I’m in California so labor rates are probably significantly higher.

 

Brute Force Fab makes a hybrid style rear bumper, looks pretty tubular. Could hit them up.

 

Something about primer gray on red - I like that truck a lot and the bumper is really sturdy looking.

 

Anyone with BAMF hangers/relocates and SOA running limit straps in the back? How necessary are they? I don't whoop my taco [yet] so I'm not super concerned about the rear dropping suddenly.

 

Has anyone on here used these alignment cams? Any reason to believe they’re better/worse than OEM? I have to order lug nuts from them anyway so I’d like to get it all together to save on shipping.

 

@Camerond05 where in Texas are you from?

 

Those look way worse than oem. Alignment can’t be adjusted with a wrench like oem

 

Didn’t even notice that. Looks like I’m going to OEM. Thanks

 

Looks like a keyed bolt design.

If they are anything like any other aftermarket ones..id go OEM

 

You’re probably right, the bolt holes in the cams don’t look perfectly circular.

The main cam on mine that’s frigged is a front that has ruined threads from bending the alignment tab offroad then moving back and forth on the drive home. I think I’ll be able to just replace the bolt and the threaded cam, and the sleeve and other cam are fine. I put my suspension back together today and sent it home with a big impact. I think when it comes off again it’s not going back on I needed the bay in the shop though

 

Not nearly as good as oem. I had a stripped cam bolt and didn't have time for a dealer to order one so I got one at a parts store. Oem is a lot better quality.

 

limit straps are a good idea, but they probably aren't required if you have a 12" shock. If you're using an OE length shock, you really should have straps to protect the shock from the springs...

 

how much?
