Show Off Your Brute Force-Fabbed Gear!!

I CANT WAIT. lol i ordered the same bumper for my 3rd gen with swingout!

 

i ordered the same bumper. Im on Dakars w/ shackle flip.

Did you end up sagging a lot? I dont have a hardtop back there usually roll around with an empty bed.

 

I didn't get much sag with my dakars

 

I can appreciate that, I just signed a lease for a new apartment, paying way more than I wanted to but it has a garage!!! Which is next to impossible to find close to Boston. Going to be keeping my motorcycles in the garage and turn it into a workshop, truck has to stay parked outside (also I think I'm too tall with my lift to fit in the garage (haven't tested - Move in date of June 1).

 

Ok awesome. Because once the bumper is on tere I'm going to weld the shackle flip. So I didn't want to do it now before I got the bumper on. Thanks man!

 

Just fyi. I was inbetween a cbi HC swingout and Billy's set up. This was the picture that's made me pull the trigger on Billy's.

 

going to redo the rotopax to fit a tank next to them like above.

 

Just talked with billy about ordering a high clearence rear with swingout, super stoked about getting it!

 

Obviously

 

Billy called and gave me the awesome news that my bumper was finished and ready to ship. Winning.

 

My bad! Been too busy gutting and rebuilding a travel trailer. It's been consuming most of my time and my poor truck has been neglected. Lemme see if I can snap something halfway decent this weekend.

 

I'm jealous, I have been waiting for that call since he told me my bumpers would be done next week... 2 weeks ago.

 

When did you order?

 

February 24th. Granted I have a full plate high clearance rear with swingout and full plate front with multiple light cutouts so I'm not sure if that might make things take a little longer.

I'm not stressing it though, I have waited 3 years to get bumpers so another week or 2 isn't going to kill me.

And the pictures! Still trying to figure out how I can get my 4 gallon Rotopax cans mounted to the Driver's side swing out.

 

Billy did mention that his plasma cutter was out of action, so that might be part of the delay for yours. He was able to finish up mine without it. Hopefully it won't be long.

 

Feb 1

But Billy is going way beyond just building the parts for my truck. So whenever it gets done and the time scheduled, I'll get it. I have no problem waiting for his quality and generosity

 

The way the bumper follows the contour of the rear sheet metal compared to so many other brands is what originally got me looking at Brute Force, and this photo (and the other one) shows it quite well.

 

How do I get in touch with Billy? The contact form on his website doesn't seem to be working and I can't find any other contact info. Is his integrated hitch receiver solid enough to handle the same 6500lb towing capacity as the factory receiver?

I've been looking thru the various vendors in the Bumpers thread and these are far and away the best I've seen (about halfway thru them so far). Someone ran into me yesterday and messed up my rear bumper so I'm looking at a steel plate replacement.
