    Haha I'm just bullshitting. I meant you should plate the entire vehicle in steel. Kinda like a beetle has its skeleton outside its body as armor.

    The fill plates can come with cutouts for lights. I'm waiting til I can afford some Baka designs lights to put in that location.

    Oh right on, ok you got me lol. Yeah I need a frickin tank is what I need! I want to get an 80s Yota eventually to use for hunting and beating up, except for the long trips. I will mount a small LED bar on the bumper eventually but my next buy will be a 50" LED for the roof and get rid of the nerf bars and get steps.

    Nice. I love that look. Been debating on it myself. Think I'll just stick to the 2 pods and a bar. Maybe out more pods on my ditch light hood brackets.

    Billy is a one man show and he's always busy so if you order something be sure and order ahead of time. He told me 10 weeks out for my rear hc bumper but I got it 12 weeks. I didn't really mind the 2 week delay. AtM I'm waiting on sliders and I havnt contacted him but he did give me an update about a week and a half ago.

    Definitely get a kick out. Having the RTT that high it makes it a lot easier to step on instead of opening/closing the doors all the time. And in case you ever get into forestry trails and its tight. I love my 4x innovations ones, cheapest ones i've found.

    Awesome. I'll keep that in mind. I like the look of no kickout but I do have to admit that they serve a function.

    He quoted me 6-8 weeks, he said he may be able to cut it in half tho

    I've got 4x innovations and they're great

    When I called him in May he said turn around time would be three weeks. I told him to take longer!:oops: I think from order to arrival was 5-6 weeks for mine.

    Every bumper I have seen in person that he has built is top notch, I would rather wait for the quality.

    Oh yes! This thing is impeccable and fit on like a glove, nothing to shim or adjust. I literally just tightened the bolts and added the frame braces, I was shocked at how easy it was. I think it took longer for me to remove all the old stuff than putting on the new one.:D

    I can't believe how well he builds them. Here's how I got my front bumper.. A friend on here rear ended someone in traffic, I think he said at about 15-25mph. He didn't have the frame reinforcements on so the bumper basically twisted up. Not bent at all but the insurance bought him a new one. So he gave me his old one. It mounted right up and I didn't have to do any adjusting.
