    Weight reduction for DD use worth it?

    Running 33s, re-geared (when was running 35s) with Magneson s/c getting 11.8 mpg and considering dropping weight my CBI sliders, Winch, ARB Utility Rack, rear single side locking drawer, full RCI skids including diff skid and leaving the spare at home unless long trip. Total weight savings would...

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    I had one shop install everything on my rig and they adjusted the latch many times since it was installed as the build went on. Always the same problems over and over. IMO there should be a backstop for the left swingarm like there is for the right and/or better latch system. If I was the only...

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    Thnx I literally got a FB message about pelfrey then paid for the CBI bumpers a few days later. I planned on going to FJ Summit then the Pelfrey issue hit me then cash from the build the next year and this year it was cancelled for he Rona. Next year I may have to bring a couple Kegs to FJ.

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    I got them installed within a few weeks of getting the T4R and didn't actually do any serious wheeling for quite awhile. I forgot the first issue but it was the first time i went off road for a few miles something was squeaking bad and my tech fixed that. The last issue outside warranty was the...

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    sorry to hear. I have no idea how the owners of Pelfrey were not prosecuted for fraud when they continued to take orders knowing they were going under and were lying to customers with existing orders especially since items like lights should have been shipped at least. If it was a big...

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    I figured there had to be more with this issue. No issue with the front bumper but the rear is enough risk for all the reasons above that I already ordered a bumper from another manufacturer. This build out has cost me so much $$, I was one of the Pelfreybuilt customers and lost all my $$ from...

    CBI Rear Bumper PSA/Horror Story

    PSA: If you are considering getting a rear bumper I would avoid CBI at all costs. The U bolt latch to lock the swing arms will snap! When you call for a replacement on a bumper that cost thousands, they charge about $15 for a bolt and won't send the measurements so you can find it yourself for...

    CBI Rear Bumper Worth it?

    This! One of the most costly items was a new backup cam worth a damn and labor cost to wire it in. If you go this route and are not doing it yourself, it was not much more to add the front cam and a toggle switch for the front/back cams

    The ride feels much better but I also re-geared to 4.88s (still in break in period) and went from medium to heavy rear springs. Ride is considerably better.

    CBI Rear Bumper Worth it?

    I have both the front and rear CBI bumpers. Both top notch and would do it all over again. <a href="https://ibb.co/wdtbcJg"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Bfk7n43/CBI-Rear2.jpg" alt="CBI-Rear2" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/z2Dtg3Z"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/M1QJHz7/CBI-Rear1.jpg"...
