    I ordered mine 7/28 and received it 9/16. Good communication from them when I emailed to ask and considering what they went through, fast enough delivery.

    In the same boat, ordered on July 18th. Same batch, had the same issue with the bracket. Conversed with Kevin, they were able to catch it before it shippped. Currently at the powder shop, hoping it will ship soon.

    Please post a profile of your truck, looking to see any increase in rake due to the cantilevered weight.

    I also think SSO is a solid company.

    Same, same! Being in Canada the fact they caught it before I had received it was huge! The fact they called and let me know just goes to show the quality of support you can expect from SSO.

    So we can assume 1/4" for the bumper alone I reckon. Not too bad i guess. Cant wait to start bulldozing hobos.

    What winch did you decide to go with, if you don't mind me asking?

    Hehe that's a good one. I think by far the best bumper for bulldozing hobos is the ARB on a stock 2016 taco. That thing sticks out like a shelf in the front and is much more heavier than this one. Would love to see a photo of that!

    9500 XRC with wired control. had to drill a hole through the bumper support but the hole was about same size as the other holes in it. And then cut the grill plastic a bit. Controller plugs in easily.

    THanks for the kind words guys. We did catch a manufacturing defect that caused us a short delay, but we're back into full production and just received another batch back from powder and they look great!

    Sorry we don't have any metal in the shop other than our pre-cut bumpers.

    No worries, I am going to draft up a part. Can you please tell me the bolt hole diameters and distance (o.c.)?
