    IMO...not much...both make GREAT SHIT!

    but..i feel like Tim is a lil more 1st gen orientated and Eric is more 2nd gen...either way, your gonna get a SICK bumper and it'll be sturdy as F**K.

    Soooo just buy one :) :p lol

    Well thats due to previous agreements between Tim and I when he worked with me, but now thats not the case. I've got front, rear bumper, and sliders available for 1st gens, with more stuff coming soon. I've got more 2nd gen stuff out vs 1st gen stuff, but hopefully that changes and I can get some more out there soon! :cool:

    Thanks Eric. I like the fact you offer the bumper in aluminum. Do you know what the approx. weight of each bumper (Steel & Aluminum) would be? Thanks

    The aluminum one is only about 48lbs, that would put the steel one around 90lbs probably. Thats the base bumper, changing options(add tube, etc) will change those figures a tad.

    Not enough.
    Just look around, plenty of awesome fabricators here with subtle differences.

    Relentless offers aluminum @1/4 which cuts the weight in half.
    Other than the above mentioned advantage, aesthetically they are very similar.
    I opted for Relentless because I have a PreRunner and weight is important not to mention I prefer the looks of the Relentless, unfortunately though Eric's waits are much longer.
