Pelfreybilt Off-Road

What would be the best way to line up my front hybrid so its closer to the grill surround and headlight shrouds there is a good 1 1/2" gap not vertical distance but horizontal between the bumper and body.

 

Had to work half day, but got the front and rear on.

How to install a front plate bumper alone?
Rigging

Of course I'm never really alone. My 9yo girl always wants to help

I didn't install the skid yet because she is still using it to watch TV...

Pelfreybilt stuff is awesome

 

Awesome setup Bulla! My front and rear bumpers are just a couple weeks from being done. My front will look just like yours but I got a rear hi clearance. Any chance you can get some pics outside when your done. I just cant get enough of this Pelfrey porn!

 

Bullaculla: Yeah, that rear bumper looks GOOD on there! Be glad and proud your 9 year old likes to help, some mechanical skills are a great thing for kids to have, and the bonding is priceless.

Front bumper is looking good too, I have the one with the hoops that go "around" the headlights, but I like your style too.

 

Tyler, soooooooooo are you making anything for a Tundra yet? If you are looking to expand your horizons i may know someone who just got an '11 Tundra you could use to be a guinea pig

 

Man those look nice. Can't wait for my front

 

Can't decide if I want the headlight guards or just the center hoop.

 

Finished wiring up the rigids, and installed the front bushwackers finally.
Pelfreybilt and bushwackers? I like it

painting the shackles black right now...



time for 285s!

gotta adjust the gap on the front bumper a little, but i'll wait until my warn M8000s get here

 

If you get into any serious wheeling the headlight guards can save your bacon. I went for the full hoops, but the center hoop with small angle tubes looks good and looks a little "lighter". At this point a few more pounds is no biggie. If you are adding a winch the synthetic line is safer AND it saves a good amount of weight.

I went down a trail that just turned to crap last weekend and had to turn around on this twisty narrow trail with rocks and trees on both sides. I wish I had the HC Rear bumper on THEN as I backed into a stump and dinked up the lower rear part of the fender a bit. Not to worry, that part will be cut off when I put on the new Pelfreybuilt bumper. :>)

The more I think about it the more important a rear bumper is because you cannot see what you are backing into on the trail.

 

That is just perty!
Cant wait to get mine!

 

If it's just for looks, I like the center hoop. If it's for function, well I just tagged a tree today with one of my headlight hoops on a really tight trail. I can't be 100% certain that it would've hit the truck if I didn't have the hoop, but I AM certain that it didn't hit my truck with it!

 

I notice you left the little "extensions" in your frame.

Any idea what those are supposed to do? I couldn't figure out what they were for even with the stock setup.

 

Cut them off. They aren't needed.

 

They are bolted. Easy to take off.

Cut, unbolt... What's the difference lol

 

Just didn't want someone cutting them up when they could just unbolt them

Matt

 

Yeah, mine are gone, I just couldn't figure out what purpose they ever served and was curious.

 

Was curious about that too. They aren't even bolted very tight. I can wiggle mine with my hands.

 

They're nothing. Held in with a single bolt

 

My whole cross member right there is cutoff due to the bumper I have...

DO NOT CUT YOURS. JUST UNBOLT.
