So, Fedex... yeah... slight problem...

Today, the swingout showed up sans bumper... bumper is inbound tomorrow supposedly. Fedex had an issue with the original tracking number not working so a new number was issued so it could ship.

The attention to detail on the swingout is top notch and Steve at CBI has made a masterpiece. I am blown away by his work.

So, if it gets here tomorrow I might post pics! :shakin:
 
Fed Ex was not to happy when they delivered mine. I could see the guy swearing up a storm at 5pm, could not help but laugh. I know that is mean.

Yes his work is top notch. His welding skills are some of the best I have ever seen. I had a few complaints at first, but those were unfounded once I got use to the design. I am still a little disappointed with the gas can holder, but I guess that is a blessing since that is one less heavy object on it.

With the tire on there the rear end bounces and shakes the whole truck when were on certain streets, but is perfect on rough roads, highways, and off roading. Annoys my fiance when driving around town, but she will get use to it.

Anyways, you will love it and your truck will look freaking cool.

Sounds like its time to phone Fed-Ex and find out where your bumper is. :lurk:

Sounds like fun.

Take a break at some point tonight, and post up a couple pics of the new steel.

Doc, if you're super-pressed for time (and help) give me a call tomorrow and I might be able to break away.


Otherwise...
GOOD LUCK!
