    Default AllPro bumper

    Well I finally settled on a rear bumper, a wrap around from AllPro. Got it put on last weekend, and everything went on real smooth, fitting evenly everywhere. I now have three rear recovery points, three more than the factory offered me. I had it coated with the same material as the sliders. I guess now I just have to decide what kind of front to use. I like the AllPro front tube bumper style, but I don't like the way it is left open. so I will have to find out whether plates can be fitted or if I just need to pick something else. Here's a couple of pics for everyone.

    Ok, so I got the pics to load. bumper and sliders were put to good use this weekend after a short trip with Tacozona to Florence. We ran the upper woodpecker trail following a group of Toyota truggies to Highway to Hell. Bashed the sliders real hard a few times with zero damage. I was really impressed with my trucks new crawl ratio since the new gears. Actually had to gas it on 30 degree down slopes just to keep moving.

    Nice... can't wait for the pics!

    I have heard that you need to add to many plates to the AllPro tube bumper (Front). If you are leaning towards the tubular bumpers you Demello has some pretty darn good ones.

    I am in love with this Bent-Up front bumper:

    Looks sweet! Glad to hear you are getting the truck out on the trails.

    How did the twin tru-tracks do?

    Are you still considering mounting the rack to the bed?

    Thanks Scott, the Trutracs did better than I thought in the rocks, I never really felt I lost traction at all. Not sure if I ever had two opposite tires in the air at once though. I'll have to wait and see if any pics from Tacozona came out. Even loose, steep climbs were no problem or putting one front up on a rock with the other in the sand, so they performed real well. I'm am still going to use the rack, still trying to decide what mount system and height i'm going to use. Not to worry though, it'll be ready for the rally.
