Relentless Fabrication 2nd gen Stingray Bumper Group Buy Thread

I am interested in a 2015 Tacoma Predator full hoop front bumper.

Does anyone have pictures or what is necessary to make the frame support brackets work with the stock King reservoir mounts?

 

Was I supposed to get edge trimming with this as there is none in the box

 

Not necessary

 

As long as your cut is clean!

 

Okay thank you

 

Great doesn't fit holes don't line up

 

Wut!

 

Neither did mine, but just barely. We enlarged the slots on one side just a hair with a step up bit.

 

That's great for handy people

 

Take a pic and post it up

 

Put one of these on a drill and enlarge the existing hole "one step up".

 

Trying to I'm out in the Boondocks all it won't let me

 

This is assuming you have the same problem I did. The holes lined up less than probably 1/16" of an inch off, so it wasnt a big deal to open up the two outside slots. You have 2013, no?

 

It's the same problem and I have a 15. Widening now .

 

Should I put the OEM bumper back on first or the Stingray first

 

I put the stingray on first

 

Whats the best thing to use to touch up these spots that will blend in? Really want to still use this but can’t with those blems showing. @RelentlessFab i know you don’t PC it but do you have any ideas?

 

Think black spray with a rough finish would suffice? Used it on some brackets in the past. Looks so similar

 

I may sound like a total noob, but couldn’t you file the blems down, primer, and paint?
Possibly even paint with that textured rustoleum.
Color matched of course.

 

What you used on your brackets I’m sure would be fine.
You just want the blemishes to blend in with the rest of the bumper at this point and not stick out like a sore thumb
