    How many cans of steel-it did you go through? Did you use their primer after blasting the bumper?

    Considering the lead time on these damn bumpers I had better get my name on the list... They look great!

    Well now that I know that there's one in there with my name on it... I guess I'll just ring them up, impersonate you, and tell them that "I" moved.

    :notsure:

    I’d rather not list. My wife might see it.
    I spoke to their rep and he said primer was not required. After sand blasting, i just washed the bumper with dish washing liquid (Dawn), towel and air dried, then thoroughly wiped down with paint thinner. You have to wash, dry and paint on the same day or else it’ll rust up.

    It took 4 spray cans for 3 coats for front and back of bumper. Buy an extra can for retouching

    Lots of shenanigans.
    I was replacing my UCA today and noticed that on the inside of the driver bumper (specifically to the right of the fog lights) that there was some rust beginning to form on the weld. It is most likely the powder coat but I was gonna brush it clean and spray some black Rustoleum. Might be worth checking your bumper out as well.

    Might be worth applying some Fluid film over the inside too since water will easily collect there.

    After six weeks the BD S1’s arrived and I was able to get the bumper installed. Had it Bullet Lined but I’m not a fan of the seal coat. It’s too shiny. Hopefully it will dull over time. Love the S1’s on the corners.

    I put this on several weeks ago but figured I show it off a little still. This is the c4 overland series with 30 inch extreme LED and Baja designs fog lights. I'm running out of money but still need the winch.

    Anybody have experience with a vibration or excess wind buffeting after installing these? I seem to have picked up a vibration up front after installing mine. I can only notice it at freeway speeds. Even then it comes and goes. I don't feel it in the steering wheel, not really sure where it's coming from. All hardware is tight. I also have an RCI skid plate under there that is tight as well.IMG_6189.jpg

    Yes please
    Nope, I did notice my stock shocks could not support the weight though. I could really feel it nose dive during braking and cornering.

    So long as my bumper gets here at a decent time tomorrow, I’ll be grabbing it right off the dock at FedEx and running it straight over to the powder coater.

    Nothing and I have the hybrid with a winch. I did add coilovers for the weight. You might try removing the skid plate and testing that.

    Could be your tires are out of balance and the added weight just exacerbated the situation?

    Are you guys with stock shocks getting alignments done after installing the bumper or just keeping same settings?
