    I'm.impressed with the overwhelming satisfaction and quality ratings by your customers.

    2nd Gen front plate bumper with three hoops. Love the bottom and middle horizontally, as well as the center hoop vertically. I haven't physically seen these bumpers except in pictures. Those pictures seem to depict a slight upsweep to the outside hoops, kind of like an eyebrow lifting on the outside. Somehow, IMHO that detracts from the overall look of the front bumper. That might be perspective from just pics.

    Second, I'd like to see an option for a receiver hitch with the front bumper. Good for launching boats, carrying coolers, generators and fishing pole holders/launch tubes.

    In that vein, front and rear receiver hitch-mounted trays, a lot of those trays I see on the road wiggle and waggle down the road. Two stabilizing arms, which come off of the trays and connect to the bumper would be s good idea. The BMW X5 has that type of system. Maybe with DZus connectors or similar.

    You have a beautiful truck, and the "cocked eyebrow" tends to match with the later 2nd gen post-facelift Taco headlights better than the earlier 2nd gens like my 2006' IMO

    Customer service is outstanding. I came in once close to closing to pick up my front skid plate and they took the time to give me a full tour of the shop. They answered all my questions and were in no rush to close up. This is why I will continue to purchase products from Pelfreybilt. Just ordered an Aluminum 12-15 Plate bumper. Super pumped.

    Now for a suggestion. I want to advertise for you. I love bragging about my truck and although the stickers are cool, sometimes the white sticker doesn't work with a certain paint scheme. Why not have your logo CNC'd into your products? I think it would look great centered on your bumpers.

    The lightbar fill plate used to have the pelfreybilt cutout in it, I think they went away with it because most run a lightbar so it doesn't get used anyways. Honestly I like that they don't do logo cutouts everywhere and where they have done them is tasteful and not overdone or extremely noticeable. Also jerry can holders have the cutout

    [​IMG]DSC05461 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr

    @Pelfreybilt I have a suggestion to something I would like to see changed. On the Jerry can lid, its completely square and allows something to get caught under the lid.

    [​IMG]DSC06328 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr

    The top outside corners are what I'm referring to, the jerry cans do not fill the entire space in the corners so you have a area that leaves a big opening for a branch or tree nub in my case to get caught. My suggestion is have the lid how it is but on the top corners come into the center and back out again just enough to remove the cavity where something can get stuck. Its kind of hard to explain and probably best to just draw something up if you are more curious to what I'm talking about

    [​IMG]DSC06384 by Chandler Coe, on Flickr

    Thats the aftermath, ripped all the rivets out. Easy fix thankfully but if it were to happen away from home I would be left without a secure jerry can holder until I get ahold of a drill and rivet gun to fix it.

    May I suggest that you guys sort out your shipping dept. and scheduled dates.

    A part that I ordered that was to go out the next day took two weeks to ship.

    Another part that was to be shipped on the 27/06/16 arrived at its destination today 15/06/16. This is two weeks early and now I have to go on a special trip to NY from Ontario to pick it up.

    I guess I'll be busy before the summer break.

    The 05-11 front hoops are horizontal and flat and don't have the cock eyed look you are referring to in that picture. We agree that the lines needed to change between bumpers for a more aesthetic look.

    We do cut the logo into the corner of the newer rear bumpers. We are always working on ways to improve the advertisement of the product without sacrificing quality.

    The Jerry can mounts arent nearly as popular as the rotopax it may seem recently but we will look into that. I can definitely understand what space you are talking about though.

    Unfortunately sometimes our shipping does get a little hectic and overwhelming but we always do the best we can to get our products out to you, our customers and family. We do hope that everything worked out ok.

    Just a few expensive & DIY things...
    Unsure if it's been addressed:
    Any chance on the bottom skids to have a section to cover the lower hanging portion of the exhaust? {mine is a 2015, unsure of the 3rd Gen]
    Or does a continuation of your Skid Products cover this section of exhaust?

    [​IMG]

    P.S Would love to see any plans or ideas of a modular rear swing away.

    Odds and Ends

    That area is covered by the transfer case skid. If comes in a standard exhaust version that covers the exhaust crossover and a "flat belly" version that requires rerouting the exhaust but you get a smooth belly skid rather than the drop down area around the exhaust.

    That's a great question and the answer is yes! We do offer a skid plate that covers the stock exhaust routing. Some people get the exhaust re-routed so that they dont have it hanging down and we offer a skid plate for that option as well.
