Vermonster's Rear Bumper Quest...

[Nick@ApolloOff-Road]

Bumper has been dropped at https://www.racemetalsmiths.com/ in White River Vermont.

I met the owner "Scott" who seems like a great guy. He did a wonderful job finding silver that matches my truck (at least on the sample card). I also dropped off my rusty ass BuiltRight molle panels and my son's front Tacoma bumper from "MOVE" bumpers which he will have powdered in their normal shop black finish.

My bumper will run about ~$800 give or take, but my son's will be ~$600. No idea on the molle panels, but as he will already have the silver loaded, I could not have thought of a better time to do it. I removed all the BuiltRight logos, and I will rivet them back on once the project is finished.

I am excited to see the final product, but I hope it comes in before the snow flies. It took about 4 months for my Chassis Unlimited bumper to arrive. Now, that being said, they also did some custom work by adding slots for the Morimotto plate lights - that way I do not have to count on the LED plate lamp screws.

Lastly, I just bought some Baja Design 3X3 Squadron Sport driving/combo lights from our forum sponsor @Nick@ApolloOff-Road and I am excited to pop those into the bumper mounts.

Thanks again for your support!!

Took forever!! Yes - only did the rear. Maybe I’ll do the front someday, but I do like my oem one. I’d like to see if the Baja designs linkable lamps do work on their front bumper, though.
