That's funny because I was thinking the same thing.
In before he starts selling off parts to buy friends.
I am not saying it is a terrible idea, and if you find what you want then cool. The TF is flat, but not boxed on the back so it is not as strong. If you know how to weld you could box it and weld what you want on top. I have the TF at the moment, wanted something that did not stick out a ton. I am not sure you can get what you want on it without it sticking out from the bumper quite a bit.
As far as fitting the truck, the KVT bumper is about as good as it gets, IMO. His build quality on the other hand left a bit to be desired. Nothing that can't be touched up, though.
It was either the TF or Custom 4x4 Fabrication as a base and that one sticks out really far. If I needed to box something that wouldn't be a problem. Just sucks you can't get a TF bumper bare. It is also 200 dollars more than the Custom 4x4 base, and I could get that one bare.
I'll probably be sending Kyle a downpayment by the end of the week.
That is kind of the plan. I've been looking at the plans the other guy posted. I may try and tackle building one from scratch although I really don't have the time. Welding the two pieces together complete would be quicker.
Don't really want a RTE bumper, which is a shame because they are local and I wouldn't have to ship anything.
Tactical Rovers suck... and not just because their business name is stupid.
search for threads on KVT, I do not think he has built anything for a long time. I think he still owes a few folks.
What makes Tactical Rovers suck, besides the name? I've seen their front bumper and sliders in person and they are actually quite nice. The sliders are especially well designed. They aren't just some 2x2 welded to some C channel In some dudes garage. They fit better than any I've seen.
And I think their name is dumb.
