Oury's Beef Taco

for sure, too each is own...

ARBs have their own Tank-like charm.

I'm too much of a fucking diva when it comes to looks though. The only thing I'd consider besides what I'm getting would probably be a Relentless front.

ARB looks better on some vehicles than others. On a Taco, it's not my cup of tea

I dont like the ARB bumper style much to be honest. Too much metal I think. I would like to support a Texas made product but I am looking more for clearance than anything. This reminds me of the Relentless front bumper and I like their HC Rear bumper as well.

ARB also adds at least 4-6" to the length of your truck VS a Relentless bumper. I can't balance a beer on top of mine while you can balance a 40oz and then some on an ARB :o

Just make sure whatever you get has strapping through the boxed section of the frame so it doesn't pull off the bumper mounts like http://toyotaoff-road.com/threads/4...unting-plate-yet?p=27308&viewfull=1#post27308. Relentless and ARB do. If my memory serves me DE is also supplying them now, but I have yet to see a good pic of what he came up with to do it.

I want to see a Relentless aluminum in person badly. Supposedly they are 55# and after you remove all the stock crap it might be no weight added to the front end + no rust. Eric is also backed up in a major way from what I have heard from a couple local guys who placed orders many months ago.

You ever get that old bolt out?

 

[Oury]

havn't had any time. My power went out again 5 days ago along with my cable.... having some good luck over here I guess. I need to get it out asap..... Maybe this weekend if I have time. Im off all day tomorrow too if anyone has a chance. Running to Austin Bolt Co. Today to get a nut for it. Ive been really slow this week wrenchin due to my late night work sched. and my fiancee being out of town. She just got certified being a Dental Assistant, at least I hope cus she took the test.... just waiting for results

 

[Oury]

Just got back from getting a nut. Anyone wanna help me cut this thing off properly? I don't have a grinder or the proper socket sets to get this bolt out.

 

[drew02a]

Well, it's a long drive to SA just for that

I know, wish I lived closer to ya, would be fun wrenchin all the time... I need to learn some how but just dont have all the tools I need

 

[Oury]

Hell you won't even get a beer opened before that diff breather is installed.

Incorrect sir the first step of the installation is to open a beer the goal is then to finish before said beer gets warm

 

[Oury]

or have a keg on a dolly with a robot pushing it around for you

true.. ok then the frost won't even be off the outside of the can when you are done.

just have the robot install the diff breather. I wouldn't trust a robot to pushing around something as delicate as a keg.

 

[drew02a]

Forget the robot, that's what the woman is for

buh dum tshhh

Package just arrived from Billy at Brute Force Fab. Bumper reinforcement brackets. Gonna be nice to have when I get a winch. This product is incredible work. Here is just a few shots.

Billy is stepping up the 2nd gen fab game for bumpers and accessories. His stuff is really nice and well designed.
