Re: Fabricated bumper

Thanks for replying back. They look very good.

Re: Fabricated bumper

You beat me to this Sherrie. I just found these videos yesterday and am pretty surprised there's been no mention of them on this forum or Expo. Maybe they just came out? Either way, thanks for posting that. I don't love the front view of the front bumper but an angle view and side view might look totally different, as in totally better. The rear is pretty dang cool IMO. Love the gas strut idea. Maybe he will find some black latches soon to make them look a little more uniform.



Derek has never kept his prices secret so if anyone knows how much they are going for I would love to know.

Re: Fabricated bumper

i just found them yesterday as well. i was looking for the vid of his door galley and stumbled onto them. the bumper vids were posted on dec 10th, so i assume they havent been available all that long.

i like the back bumper, but like carringb has mentioned, these setups dont allow back doors to fully open. i know it doesnt seem like a big deal, but with as much crap as i put on the back bumper, its really nice to be able to open those doors all the way to access crap in back when the bumper is loaded.

someday i hope to be able to build my own (or at the least hire buddies to construct, lol) bumpers and incorporate all the badass ideas everyone comes up with...along with a few ideas of my own

Re: Fabricated bumper

Took about six weeks but they now have it in the computer so I presume it may be faster next time.
