Relentless Fab '05-11 Tacoma plate bumpers buy

Dude how long is it going to take you to get pics of that beast??!! We're all still waiting!!

 

Any word on shipping to canada ?

 

Camera is still up in the great white north.
It should be here this afternoon.

I took a minor penalty already!!!
I don't want to get a 4 min. or a game.
Should have them for you guys tonight.

 

Yeah, i just drill a couple holes in the top plate of the bumper to mount my lights, easy as that. Bumper should be done quite soon, I'll probably PM ya later on today, or tomorrow.

Not yet, I'm waiting to hear from the guy at Fastenal. He seems to take his sweet time.

 

Probably easier, yes, but not entirely necessary. I'll drill them if you'd like though. I just put them directly above the 4" holes in the opper face. Allows decent access to the bottom of the bolt for install yet is still hidden and the spacing looks pretty good IMO.

 

Will these lights work for the fogs?

PIAA 510 PART# 5190 XTREME WHITE SMR FOG LIGHTS
3-15/16" width
4-7/16" hight
2-7/16" depth

 

Yeah they should fit just fine.

 

Alright, I'll throw some holes on the top plate, and the holes for the fairlead are already cut from the CNC shop.

 

Dropped off the bumper at the liner dude.
My buddy was not completely correct about the color match.
The liner guy says you can paint it after the coating, BUT it will not last over a year.

So we will be doing plain old black.
They are doing my in bed box as well to protect it. My half azzed krylon job is not working on it too well.

Why is it when you want the rattle can paint job to stick it won't even after sanding and cleaning with laquer thinner, but let the wind carry some overspray over to a car and it will not come off even if the car has a layer of dirt on it??????????

I took 2 pics of before coating and I will get some when I pick it up tomorrow and throw it on the truck.
Stay tuned.

 

sorry to hear yu can't get it color matched but it'll still look bad ass when you get it back

 

Yeah I've always had trouble with spray paint. I think it really takes a couple weeks for it to completely cure. I plan on getting mine powder coated when it arrives. Cost a good bit but it should be worth it.

 

Picked up the bumper and got it mounted today.
Yes pics were taken but I am not posting tonight !!!

Will do first thing tomorrow, Promise
Looks great by the way.
Thanks again Eric, now for a rear bumper

 

Great to hear man! And a rear bumper will be coming.....

 

Sorry for all the delay.
Here it is.
I replaced the cross piece brace with a piece of metal to clear better.
Had them coat the box in the bed at the same time.
Picture of the High lift mount. I had to remove the foot and hook to get the 60" jack in there.
The foot goes on with the push pin quick release deal. and the hoock goes back on with a 3/4" rachett which is the same size to get the nuts off to remove the jack.

That is a Armor Tech skid also and it goes nicely with the bumper.

 

Thats pretty sick! Did you get the powder coat wrinkle finish??

 

i like the cherry picker idea for putting the bumper on haha

 

It is a bed liner material from Universal Coatings.
They have many different textures and a few colors.
Good guys there.

The engine lift has been used to lift a couple truck beds on my "other truck" and friends.
Pretty handy for around the house chores.

 

Looks great Steve! Nice to see how well the bumper lined up with the ATO skid as well! Enjoy your new bumper!

 

I seemed like I needed to slice the stock piece in half so rather than do that I took a piece of 16 ga. sheet metal and cut it to fit.
Used a 1/2" spacer to lift it over the center mount to keep it level.
Pretty easy and if I need to switch back to stock no problem.
I like that part . You never know when you may have to pull stuff off and sell the truck.
