2nd Gen RESZ fabrication group buy/discount thread! its live!

All these install pics got me jonesing...Then it started raining/snowing. Now im over it.

Is it me, but does the sequoia front piece and the tundra 2 piece have slightly different lines/curves?

 

I think the lines are slightly different

 

Hard to tell from pics, but they look slightly different...

 

@nb_nielsen any update on the install?

 

Well boys its on there. So resz ended up shipping mine with spacers that mount on the truck then the bumper goes on. They looked to be 1/4 of an inch.
I did not have any clearance issues then but the mount to where the bumper mounts to the truck were off by about a 1/8th of an inch just like @Jwood562. I ended up using a drill bit to widen the mounts.
I also needed to widen where my light bar mounted, the width was fine but my bolts were just a C hair too big for the opening so I just drilled those out with a drill bit.
The finish of the bumper looks great and I am very happy with how it looks. I need to use a grinder and grind down the factory skid plate because it overhangs to the bumper by about an inch. None of those holes are even used now so I'm not worried about grinding that.
That being said, the moment you guys have been waiting for...

 

Looks damn good! What light bar did you go with?

 

Looks great!

I am happy to hear you didn’t have the clearance issues I did!

your picture also proves the sequoia bumper has different curves/lines than the tundra upper bumper valance

good looking truck!

 

that looks great dude! I’m super disappointed that resz knew about the alignment issues and still sent them off despite.

I’m asking for my money back because I don’t feel like modifying a new bumper just to get it to fit and the principle of waiting this long for an inferior product pisses me off.

Also every single time I’ve tried to contact mike, he’s ignored me until I’ve emailed him a second time so communication has been bad as well. Although, they are very good at keeping the Instagram up to date.

I’m glad you guys got yours on and looking good.

 

Man that sucks. I'm just avoiding contacting them at all. When it shows up...it shows up. Just hopes it how I ordered it.

 

I went with the rough county 30 inch single row black series. I'm gonna try it out tonight and see how it is!

 

Yea it does. I’m psyched on seeing how they are still turning out good but out of principle I don’t want to give resz my money and rep their name on my vehicle.

On a side note I’ve got the Baja s2s still new in box if anyone needs a pair.

 

What kind of s2 lights you have?

 

very nice !

 

S2 sport combo

 

Are they white or amber? If @Jwood562 isnt interested...I might be. Might change up the ditch lights.

 

White

 

Ok, I was looking for amber wide

 

Shoot me a PM with what you would like for them. Did you pick them up during Black Friday? I was just going to wait for another sale/rebate from BD...

 

Looks good.

it may be that not every truck across every single year is exactly the same down to the millimeter as well.

My delivery date got bumped to Monday last I checked..

 

Now Tuesday. Looks like the thing is still sitting somewhere in Ohio for some reason..

 

Well, as recently as yesterday the last tracking hit was still in OH but still showing delivery date of today.... now when I check it is "sorry we can't locate that shipment"... I guess it is time to call customer service.

 

I ended up using a grinder and cutting the excess stock skid plate that was over hanging the front and I cut the wings off of the sides because I thought they looked out of place without the stock bumper on

 

Mine was delivered after all... just picked it up. Now to figure out how to get the old one off...

 

Is yours a 2 piece like mine or a 1 piece

 

Two piece.

 

I took off the lower inner fender liners, ripped the front plastic piece off of the lower valence, then there are 6 nuts that connect the lower crash bar to the bumper mounts, once you take that off the entire lower bumper comes right off. Then there are 8 nuts that connect the bumper mounts to the frame rails and bam its off

 

Cool thanks!
My stock one is already dented, and I have no intention of keeping it, so if I have to do some cutting or something.. no problem.

 

No problem, let me know if you have any other questions. I had no intentions of keeping my stock one either so I didn't care how I got it off either haha

 

And she's off...

 

And.... mine doesn't fit either. Great. Definitely a pattern now.
I'll have to egg out the mounting holes and won't know if I have the cooler clearance issue until then...
