Hey, I was wondering where you got the fittings on that sweet bull bar/winch combo your cranking out? What do they call those, and where can I order/get some? I'm really curious as they look like they could be pretty useful in other places as well...
Thanks!

I really like the way the washer reservoir hangs down beneath the bumper! Overall, looks just like a copy of the SG or RT bumper. Musta put a lot of thought into that one.

Hell of a job Tow truck . BUT , get the timeline right dumbass. $G was before mine , mine came out and shares not one single angle or likeness in any way. Then RTE came out. Now , with a little looking you can see it shares quite a few aspects of Mine and $G's . Also , could you please direct me to the Photos of either makers bumper with an RE 12 in it ? How about anyones mount for the Disco with an RE 12?

Timeline? SG's been in business for a while with lots of happy customers. Yeah, I think that your bumper looks similar to an SG bumper, although I see you prefer the stock brush-bar. I guess your gonna tell me that since YOU don't think there is any similarity, then there isn't? Well, now that I think about it...yeah, it still looks similar to an SG or RT bumper. I'd imagine SG and RT spec there bumpers for the winches that sell the most...now damn, that would actually make good business sense. Well, I digress. Anyway, do you have a company website or any other wonderful products? Any plans to relocate that washer reservoir? Hey, how about this: instead of using the DII reservoir you could replace it with the smaller one from a Defender and relocate it somewhere else?

Kyle,

I have to take TowTruck's side on this one - it does look like the $G ---- it is on the lower front of the truck and it spans from one side to the other. Come to think of it all bumpers must be a copy of the $G.

Just make sure you charge twice what it is worth, and you will surely find yourself in court for theft of trade secrets.

No you dumb ass. I telling you that because there is no similarity. I have both here sitting side by side as I type this. They do not share one single aspect. Maybe you are just too damn dumb to actually see that... And go back to your original post now. RTE came after mine....So ?
I also have no plans whatsoever to relo that washer bottle as it is sitting over 2 thousand miles from me at this time. The owner however is going to....
And as far as what those two companies "Spec" thier bumpers for is really of no concern to me and your statement has no meaning at all if it was addressing the one I made prior to. I simply said I made mounts for winches that hadnt been produced before for the Disco.... Thats accurate....Now isnt it ? And,,,,use your name puss...

Hey Tow Truck, if you're so fucking brilliant, what would your bumper design look like? Don't let it have a good approach angle, offer better protection, or let it mount a winch, otherwise people will say you copied another design. Oh, don't paint it black, either. What a dipshit!!!

well, maybe you should take that up with them?
Similarity?...yeah I think they're similar but guess that you don't. That's great that you've designed a bumper to fit the big RE... I'm sure you're wonderful personality will help you sell plenty of them...or maybe my perception is out of whack and it's me that is being an ass? It appears you've got quite a following here on the web...are they all buying stuff from you? When are these bumpers available, I'd like to buy one.
BTW, my name is Kyle as well, should I start using that name?

I was also interested in the reservoir, which you've kindly addressed. Are you always this abbrassive to people that are simply trying to gather information?

Posted on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:09 pm:   Edit Post Delete Post Print Post

No Tow Truck, I'm not a Lemming. I happen to build bumpers myself. If you spent any time on this forum you'd have known that. I know what it takes to design and fabricate your own product. It just pisses me off for someone to sit back and say something has been copied simply because it serves the same purpose. The only design Kyle's bumper shares with the others mentioned is that it bolts to a Disco and mounts a winch. If that's copying, then my house is a copy of yours because it has a roof and walls supporting the roof. Oh, bye the way, where can we see pictures of your Disco, and the mods that you have done yourself?

What in the hell is going on around here???

I am new to this website and I think it is cool as shit that people on this site actually make their own parts and accessories from time to time.

I am throughly confused as to why everybody is bitching at each other about your bumper design?? I must have missed something somewhere.

Everyone needs to chill out a little!!
I feel lucky to have a site where I can get such good help and advice!! Thanks to all of those people and my wallet thanks you too!!!

Towtruck-

You can't hide behind that "I was only asking a question" stuff now. You were starting shit and that is plain as day from your original post. You come on this board and antagonize people then whine when they take issue with you. Kyle has done nothing but offer a choice to people looking for a bumper. It seems that it will be a reasonably priced, quality product. I for one am not in the market, but I am always glad to see new products come out for our vehicles. My question to you is, in short: Why be a dick? If you don't like it, don't buy it.

The only think I can think is maybe you have a horse in the race. Either that or you are just an asshole looking for something to bash because that is what you do. Or, and this is a real possibility from what I have observed in the past, maybe Kyle ticked you off once upon a time and you decided to take this opportunity to piss in his wheaties.

Greg - your point is exactly what I was trying to say above - Kyle's bumper looks like other bumpers because they are all bumpers...

Tow Truck,

"Timeline? SG's been in business for a while with lots of happy customers.

Yes, SG's bumper does predate Kyle's bumper, but I would hardly call Kyle's bumper a copy of SG's bumper. If you look at these two pics:

http://www.safarigard.com/FB_DiscoI.gif
http://www.expeditionexchange.com/pelican/DSC00124.jpg

I don't how any reasonable person can say that Kyle's bumper is copied or even vaguely resembles the SG bumper. I suspect you just hate Kyle (you're not alone) and want to take a poke at him. That's fine, but your accusations are absurd at best. If that's the best poke you can take at Kyle, that's pretty pathetic.

As to your contention that the RTE bumper and Kyle's bumper look very similar, that is certainly true. Compare these two pics:

../17/989.jpg
http://www.expeditionexchange.com/pelican/DSC00124.jpg

Those two bumpers bear a striking resemblance to each other. That is certainly true. However, your contention that Kyle copied the RTE bumper is absurd and you know it. It would be impossible because Kyle's bumper antedates the RTE bumper. Again, if you want to take a poke at Kyle because you don't like him, take a real poke at him, one that hurts because it is true. Things don't hurt when they're not true. If this is the best you can do, you're a loser.

"Yeah, I think that your bumper looks similar to an SG bumper, although I see you prefer the stock brush-bar. I guess your gonna tell me that since YOU don't think there is any similarity, then there isn't? Well, now that I think about it...yeah, it still looks similar to an SG or RT bumper."

Wow, this is really convincing. First you criticize subjective perspectives and then you give your own subjective perspective. Again, if this is the best poke you can take at Kyle, you're a loser.

"I'd imagine SG and RT spec there bumpers for the winches that sell the most...now damn, that would actually make good business sense."

This is probably your most valid point, but even so I don't think your point is well taken. There is more to life than making money. Ferrari could make a lot more money if sold economy cars rather than high-end sports cars. If Kyle really wanted to make money, he could start selling drugs or pimping out prostitutes. If he did these things, all he would be doing is selling what people want. If people want planetary winches (and they do) then some will cater to that demand and sell bumpers made for the planetary drives. If Kyle believes that the worm drives are superior and refuses to make a bumper for a planetary drive, that's his business and I cannot really say that is an unreasonable business decision.

"Any plans to relocate that washer reservoir? Hey, how about this: instead of using the DII reservoir you could replace it with the smaller one from a Defender and relocate it somewhere else?"

Oh, this is brilliant. Did you think this one up yourself? Gee, I wonder where you got this idea?

Posted on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:44 pm:   Edit Post Delete Post Print Post

just my 2 cents.. I don't think that anyone is copying anyone else on these bumpers. I think that is is just a matter of you have to mount certain winches certain ways which forces you to design the bumper around the mount. So it is almost impossible to come up with completly different looking bumpers and still have a good mount, good approach angles, and not look like total crap.. I'm sure that there are some differences on the inside that you can't see just by looking at that pictures..

Clearly the competition has gotten nervous upon seeing the svelte lines and seemless styling of the ultra cool KVT bumper. After many late nights of damage control the corporate talking heads have finally realized the one and only course of action available to them.

Yes friends and neighbors, the evil empires have at last concluded that if The Chosen One (kyle) doesn't actually make said bumper, he can't actually sell said bumper.

And if The Chosen One (kyle) spends his day responding to what are clearly inflammatory posts on the Almighty Discoweb he can't build said bumper....It is a plot!!!



Don't do it Kyle!!!

A note from RTE....Kyle was building his bumper in his head and proberly physically when RTE went into business. I know Kyle well enough to say Kyle put his own thoughts into how he wanted to build his bumper, he didnt take a yard stick to the SG bumper or anything else. What you have are 3 bumpers built for an agressive approach angle which we all want, so they have similar aspects...they hold a winch and they have slim blades which to the average eye looks similar. Cut them in half with a saw then you see the differences. SG, Kyle and I can look at these pictures and see the subtle differences in manufacturing. Kyle deserves the respect of fathering the RE into the Disco bumper.
Attacking Kyle about his bumper is pretty useless if you have other gripes about Kyle.

What I really think is funny is how some of these blind and nameless termites crawl out of the woodwork to try to insult Kyle and his bumper. The fools don't know that old motto: "Any publicity is good publicity." Not only have these threads given many miles to Kyles creations, but they have also made him look much better than these irritating bugs. It allows him the opportunity to really show them up in the personality department. Hell, he even uses his own name.

I am slow but what makes Kyle's somewhat look like SG is that the sides angle toward the fenders.

If you look at RTE it does not.

But once again this is all BS as if you make a minimal bumper like all three are then, well they look pretty much the similar its only when you slap a thin turd brush bar on top that it looks different :)

To everyone attacking Kyle and his bumper, there are somethings you might want to consider. 1.Kyle was never the one who initiated any of these post about his bumper. I think the first one was from the guy who owns the D2 who Kyle recently made the bumper for. So why jump on him? He is just making bumpers for those who desire them. It's not like he made the bumper and bragged that his was the best looking, most durable, original bumper out there. 2. Seeing that Kyle is brash, abrasive or however you want to put, you would think that you have the common sense to know that he knows he is and that he can defend himself. I find Kyle's responses sometimes opinionated, but I have also seen him complement on a job well done (he complemented the guy who put D2 flares on his D1 as a good alternative to hacking wheel openings).

Kyle, I say don't be pulled in by all this. Design what you want and how you want and if it works for you and others great. For me, I think your design is cool and a common sense approach to using other resources (LR brush guard). But do I want one for my disco? No, I'll be getting an SG bumper. I like the design and can afford it, it's my choice and if it fails I have to live with it.

I think the neat thing is how Ho, Kyle and Axel are all friends but all use different bumpers. Just proves my point, we all get to choose what we want, that is what makes us all different. And makes this web site such a great resource for ideas and answers to questions.

Mike W,

You forgot the never-ending loop of, "Don't feed his ego, his head will block all sunlight!" LOL! All it takes is practice, and loads of repetition.

Karen :)
