[dieselbigot]

sweet set-up there B.

what's the think about all the new gear?

She's down with it...afterall...she may run into some pretty gnarley obstacles on that 4 mile drive to work. I told her I wanted to get a long range fuel tank next, she's excited about that cuz she won't have to ask me to fill it up as often (she has a gas pump phobia). Good thing these tanks only cost around $100 bucks...I mean, how much can a little sheet metal box with a spout on it really be worth? In fact, everything on these trucks is quite resonable...my new rear bumper for example should come in right around $300 bucks

Brett,

Does that mean your wife is coming to SnT? It will add some class to SnT!

Cheers,

As far as the lines of the bumper go, they are good looking and the color match looks good too.

Agreed! It is great to see another rear bumper option for the 100 series too. What is that, two new bumpers in two weeks?

 

[Snook]

Brett,

Any update on your 4x4labs rear bumper?

Regards,

 

[dieselbigot]

I'm taking the truck back up to Lukes today and leaving it till after Pismo. We had some issues that need to be worked out. Better update after Pismo

 

[mobi-arc]

Two morons (one of them me) backed into each other in a parking lot yesterday and it appears I may be in the market for a new rear bumper. Any idea what Luke's version will cost???

 

[hoser]

Hey, Dieselbigot, I'm seeing updates of your bumper outside this thread. Looking pretty good!

 

[Snook]

Look good!

My fingers is tapping on the desk.......for final result.

Sorry guys...was kinda asleep at the switch on this one. I'm picking up my bumper from the powdercoaters today. Plan to install it tomorrow....I can't wait!

As far as cost goes, Luke will be selling these for $1,995. That includes 2 swing outs, tyre carrier, ladder w/ hi-lift mount and powdercoating. The gas can option and installation (if you need it) are additional. The cool thing about this set-up is that it's totally modular. If you want to remove the ladder and just run the gas can holder, no problem...just un-bolt & switch.

Cheers

Installed the bumper this morning...I'm VERY happy with how it turned out...looks bitchin! Here's a few pics...I decided to PC the ladder and tyre carrier black just to break it up a bit. I still need to pic up my gas can carrier and the proper bolt pattern tyre mount, then I can get my spare mounted

 

[dieselbigot]

couple more

 

[Snook]

Where do I sign up to order it?

Cheers,

Where do I sign up to order it?

Cheers,

Call Luke at 4x4 Labs 530-477-0140 He's ordering the laser cut pieces right now for about 6 more

 

[dclee]

Looks like he changed the ladder design a bit, probably to fit into his "modular" bolt pattern for all the attachments. Looks sweet!

 

[Snook]

Just curiuisly, once you get gas can carrier and the proper bolt pattern tire mount you need, let me know how your rear bumper fared under fullly loaded condition at HWY speed on how much it actually vibrated.

Cheers,

 

[dieselbigot]

Hoser requested pics of underneath the bumper...I guess you could fit a 35" spare under there Les, but why not just use the tyre carrier?

 

[Snook]

Hoser, you're thinking of dual spare tires?

This open space where spare used to be is perfect for dual gas/water 70/30tank, very low center of gravity.

Brett, what happened to your muffler, are you driving with earplugs?

Cheers,
