Thanks, I do mountain bike but haven't in a while having 2 small kids right now leave not much room for that.

I'm trying and wanting him to build my rear bumper exo cage and roof racks this year. I have a new RTT and a few other things I would like done to the truck. His work is amazing, just the type of fabrication I would love to have on my truck.

Care to join me for the drive back?

Hey everybody!

Sorry I haven't been around much as my new boy and my 3 year old is keeping me very busy.

Here are a few pictures of the new rear wrap bumper that Kevin from armor-tech is making me. I was going to have Jed at Armorology make the bumper but driving to his shop added about 2500 buck on to the build, and right now I have other things to pay for.

I will post up more pictures as I get them from Kevin. :wings:

PS - Watch out for a full suspension change in my truck. :smiley_drive:

I'm looking forward to see the new bumper and suspension setup.

the truck is going to look really different by the time July comes as I'm trying to finisher her off for the camping and wheeling season.

Exo, rear bumper, RTT, Roof racks...All going on this year!

Sounds sweet. To bad it didn't work out with Armorology. Jed does great work, but it sucks dropping you truck when you live so far away.

Is your tent going over your exo on top of the topper?

Yup, I found a 4x8 aluminum rack that I'm going to cut up to fit the tent and in the front there will be space for me to stand or carry gear. This will all be mounted to the exo cage.

Here is a just about 85% done look at the build.

Sorry for the phone picture as I just got it the other day from Kevin. I will post more pictures as this build-up continues. Final date for the truck to be done it middle of July.

Lots of work to do!

I will posting a few more pictures when the bumper arrives and get mounted on the truck and when the exo cage starts to get built around the truck. I'm also going to do on board air this year as Viair has a great new Ultra duty air system.
