$50?



How rugged are the ends? Any side bracing? Can't really see in the pics.

 

[derrickalda]

no side bracing....so not a jack point just protection

Looks nice Derrick ... my bumper was just finished (mix of DOM tube and plate) but your rock lights kick ass. Toughest part I found was keeping the winch cradle from destroying the approach angle! Wound up tucking it nice and low between the frame rails and having tabs welded to the cross-member to keep it from twisting under load.

Very nice bumper though.

What shocks do you have? Or better question is, how are they mounted in the front?

It appears in the photos as if at running height the shaft is fully compressed into the body?

Nice bumper by the way. Looking forward to the relocation kit since I already have a bumper.

adjustable ranchos and mounted body down so you can access the adjusting knob

Nice. Finally a maker somewhat closer to California. Hopefully, the shipping cost will go down. I like the roof rack and the front bumber for the DII. Please keep us posted on current pricing and pics, or myself at least.

you're never ending search for a swing away rear bumper...

[derrickalda]

we boogered up the stock rear testing the new front so its next on the list. we've been doing some R&D for the rear swing arm as well. it will be usable across our line of rear bumpers.

Price for the bumper is $690 and shipping is a flat rate $175 via freight truck. The price includes the washer bottle relocation kit. I will have pictures this week of the finished kit up on the web. The prototype worked well. It reuses the factory pumps for front and rear washers. The kit will include a wiring extension, extra tubing and mounting brackets.
