    Is the front going to be a no-cut (except flares and fender well plastic)?

    If you build it, they will come.

    Still waiting to hear why you didn't incorporate all 4 bumper sensors :)

    What do you mean by all 4 bumper sensors? It does have all 4 backup sensors. The BSM on the other hand is a large sensor on either corner of the stock bumper. To use these on the bumper most likely they cannot be behind steel and detect properly so we will be experimenting with that.

    Do you offer the rear bumper without the cutouts for the sensors?

    The bumper isn't available yet but doing them without the cutouts is a piece of cake and would certainly be an option

    The BSM's is what I ment. Thanks. I haven't looked closely, are they only mounted to the plastic on the OEM bumper?

    Ok ok! So we got the first bumper finished and installed. Looks amazing I might add. Also got the Rigid SRQ lights installed so you can see how those look. Havnt tested the BSM sensors but I'll see if I can't do some testing with it next week and give an update on that.

    Here's some pics, enjoy!

    That would definitely look better than the ugly chrome thing that Toyota saw fit to equip mine with from the factory ... But then I'd have to get a matching front bumper, and of course the chrome grill would have to go ... can't forget the chrome head lights ... shieeeeeeeeet ... down the rabbit hole we go.

    A step right below the hitch/bottom of license plate would be handy. Any chance of adding one?

    Updates on the sensors?
    When will these be ready?

    What is the wait time on sliders etc.? Placed an order and hope my credit card bill does not come in before my order is shipped. I like that rear bumper.

    Do the 3rd gen skids have the armor around the bolt holes. Also, do these have the drain/lightening holes?
