Builds Trail Tailor- Custom Armor Build plus a few things (1 Viewer)

The rings you can paint with whatever. The sensor, I hear plastidip doesn't interfere with the sonar. Not sure about other paints.

The washer is held on with one 12mm fastener to the oem bumper.

What do you guys who have non-black vehicles do for the sensors? Do you buy replacement black ones? Paint yours with black rustoleum or plastidip?

Wondering if the headlight washers will fit the new front bumper. If not I'll live without them. I grabbed one with my fingers and pulled it outward by hand today and it doesn't seem that complicated. It looks like it's just a slot in the bumper and it's held on by one bolt, but I can't tell if it's held onto the bumper or onto the body. If it's the bumper it seems like worst case would be a single screw. I'm assuming it's actually the body and therefore the body/bumper flex would break it. Anyone know?

Personally, I think Black always looks OK since no matter what, we're always going to have black window-surrounds, black door pillars, and black-ish tires, wipers, and on and on. Maybe just stick em in and don't think about it.

Yeah but my truck is gold/tan

I imagine any non-metallic paint would be fine.

Really just curious what everyone thinks is the most durable, best looking option

To test if matching metallic paint works, first spray a thin coat of plasti-dip...then spray with matching paint. If it does interfere, just peel it off via plasti underneath. If it doesn’t interfere, peel off and paint directly.

Hot pink or neon green. Basically the color of swimming shorts or any bathing suit from the mid 90s.

Scuff and use Testors model paint. If you want HL washers you'll need to cut them in and find a location that works. The stems are too long for the narrowed and upward taper and after three trial will not work. Maybe look at an aftermarket dual squirter with a check valve.

Oh man! Beautiful!! Can't wait to check out BOTH in person next Saturday for Baja!

Goodnight, that is beautiful work. Very nicely done!

Looking at Cole’s bumper, I don’t see how my tire can go back there without covering the tail lights. In which case I will need the LED 3 way lights.

Nice bumper, where can I get those fuel cans?

I think the 3-ways on the bumper work as breaks, turns, etc.

Click on Cole's truck image (image go's full res) and zoom in and you'll see it. Jason can correct me, but those look like three-ways.

My Slee rear does that since I block the back-ups and part of the brakes, etc.

3ways are brake, turn and reverse/backups.

@Roy Park you will be inboard about 4" each side compared to Cole and Tony's set ups. Once I get to that point I'll tack it up and get you an outside to outside measurement, but you should be fine without the 3ways.

Will my plate and rear camera be covered though?

I thought I saw white, red and yellow LEDs on them, so assumed they were three-ways. Maybe not?

Sorry Mark, you are correct. I phrased my reply wrong. Yes, these are 3ways. ( brake, turn and reverse/backups )
