Hi. Any idea if this bumper will work with an aluminess carrier?

That looks really nice!

Do you mind sharing the rough economics on this? -- Bumper + Welder, vs. finished bumper?

(Not that I need another project in my life, but I do need a welder for some of the stuff that's planned on the house.)

Also: Love the license plate!

Yes, it would setup the same as the carrier would with the stock bumper.

Bumper is $399 plus $75 for shipping. The OLB lights (can be purchased through Move) run $150/set and have a lifetime warranty.

The welder runs about $2200 setup for mig and tig capabilities. Keep in mind this is only only a DC tig unit and does not do high frequency aluminum.

All in, this would not be too economical for those without the existing tooling. I believe the bumpers sell for $1200 fully welded.

That bumper looks really awesome! I've been steering a few buddies towards Move... think they'll pull the trigger now! Great work

Sharp looking bumper!

Do they offer a front bumper?

They offer a front bumper as well https://www.movebumpers.com/gallery/ford/e350-van, this picture doesn't do it justice. I've seen a few nice powder coated shots of Move bumpers on a few E350's

My home made bumper from 3/16" plate. a lot heavier than 75 lb, even without the swing outs, but a fraction of the price of Aluminess.

Would love to be able to buy an aluminum version of their front bumper in kit form...

Shoot them a note, they are quite open to new ideas since they are a newish company. If enough people show interest....
