I run the stock bumper and the RPM in front of it. It works nicely with the RPM bumper flexing back into the flat stock one when you take a hit. I am doing a build now and bought a new front stock bumper and a new RPM one to make it all look nice. ?

Center diff blew today. Looking to rebuild to bulletproof. All opinions are welcomed.
Did get the RPM with factory front bumper hinge pin holder to work today.

What do y’all think about these screw kits?
What kind of small plastic pin cover would you recommend?Impacts will bend the RPM bumper back and break the bumper behind. All you need is the small plastic pin cover.
Not a bad idea. Maybe I will try this and see how it works out. Haven’t thought about running the rpm bumper in the rear as well. Figured the wing wound took most of the hits.....might explain why the wing mount screws through the shock tower snapped ?Why not put the stock bumper on too? I bought a new stock bumper so ai could have it looking good and have the license plate sticker again. I think this is better than RPM or stock as there is room for the RPM bumper to flex and absorb energy before flattening against the stock bumper and that flattening will be a progressive increase in force that will lower the peak instantaneous force applied on a hard impact.
I put my old RPM front bumper on the back of my Notorious. Now trying to decide if I do the skid with the bumper in the rear only or add the RPM rear skid I have and which one goes on the bottom?

I do have 2 spares if you want one. Send me your address and I’ll drop it in the mail for you.
Does anyone have a recommendation for keeping the bolt in the bulkhead for the shock tower? Also, want some recommendations for body mounts. These plastic ones always lose screws.
I am debating on running a bolt with a nut all the way through the shock tower and bulkhead. That should keep it in place.

Those upgrades all sound good, should make your truck very durable.If I decide to beef up this rig I’m thinking about the following. Let me know what y’all think?
M2C Chassis, front/rear brace, shock stand offs and front hinge pin kit (can it be used on the rear as well).
Open to suggestions for other companies or upgrades needed.
