Relentless Fabrication Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier

[WK2JT]

Up front payment. If you are nervous about that give them a ring I am sure they will work with you.

BTW... I noticed you got yours raw. Just curious why? I keep going back and forth if I'd want it powder coated or not. It's going to get the hell beat out of it, so not sure the powder coating is worth it for me.

I think I would have went with this one instead of Expedition One if it was available two years ago. Very similar designs. I love the bumper I have but the high clearance and hidden hitch are badass on this. Looking forward to seeing installed pics!

Cheers

Yeah, I was originally thinking I'd go with Steel-it or spray paint but I am going to go with powder. The powder coater locally is a bit higher cost but they do a good job. I do think powder and touch ups is much better than a home coat for spray paint or Steel-it. In hindsight, I probably should have just had it power coated from Relentless but this might have added another 8 weeks.

Thanks… yeah, we’re on the exact same page. My thoughts were I’m going to bang the hell out of it, so why not just rattle can it. But I like your touch-up idea.

Finally got around to installing the bumper. Had to modify the light holes to accommodate the Diode Dynamics lights. I chose these light because I love the backlight feature and the fact they have a harness that plugs into the hitch so I didn’t have to cut any wires. Otherwise, this was a very easy install. The hardest part is getting the old bumper off.

Jesus… how much offset are you running? That looks incredible. Just noticed you’re not to far away. Would love to see it in person something. I’m so close to pulling the trigger on this bumper.

Those are 73.5" wide Dana 70 axles with 3.5" backspacing. She is VERY wide! I really need to get to about 4.5-5 backspacing to help my scrub radius a bit. I'll go there if/when MT ever releases their Baja Boss MTs in 42". I am in Aurora near Southlands. Lets definitely link up.

Oh, that is awesome. Currently looking into axles myself. Sounds great. Always up for a trail run too

? Nice! love the bumper. 24wk wait is a killer though…. Although maybe waiting through the winter months wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I just moved to Littleton area two weeks ago so I’ll keep my eye open around town to view it in person.

Nice bumper I was really thinking about it until they told me factory spare would not fit as it is not just up but also in, nice real nice!.....Jack

I forgot to mention this bumper does NOT work with the stock ecodiesel exhaust. I just trimmed the rear most muffler off and tacked on an exhaust tip.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone is running the rear bumper/tire carrier combo. Really interested in this product. Affording it however is another thing all together. Anyone have any bullet-proof plans for bank robbery?
