Being in the middle of no where, I had to design/build my own bumpers - K.I.S.S. helps...check some pictures under my photo gallery on this site.
For anything north of 500$, it should have a winch basket incorporated...
Based on mcmaster, a 6 foot 1.750" x 0.120" Chromo 6' tube is under 80$, one cut, and two bends, and you have your main bumper...slap a stinger (same tube) with either two additional bends or one bend, and a "U" under slung to triangulate the mounting points (to elude rotational forces on teh bumper) and for a skid plate surface, again same tubing, and you have a main, non-winch bumper...you need some 1/4" plate to mount it to the frame, and some bolts...
rought numbers:
Chromo 6' tube: 78$

Chromo 24x24x0.250 sheet: 130$
http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/P...5218172957&ScreenWidth=1280&McMMainWidth=1066
6 grade 8 bolts with washers and nylock nuts (assumption): 40$
250$ in raw material...so by that math (and if you are producing to mass market/sell, that may drop by 20-30%), then you are adding 400$ for labor/tooling...may sound reasonable, but kinda pricey with a bender/welder/tooling can be sought for <1000$ for the average Joe who can save on the sliders, rear bumper, cage, etc...
Again, not saying that your idea isn't worthy, but playing devil's advocate on what 650$ means to a person seeking a non-winch bumper...
Also, aren't eh Scrapiron (Scorpion Racing) bumpers non-winch <500$ in the US? if so, I have one on my TD5 D90 and they are great...simple and do the job right...
Again, not bashing, just discussing, so take it as that...
Cheers,
Nadim
