This white LX was spotted in the Moab photos. Christo, is this the prototype bumper? If so, is it close to what the production model will look like?

wow that thing looks nice(LX)

jgray · 05-07-08, 07:00 AM

Both of those bumpers look sweet... I've been back and forth as to what I want on the front of my rig... Trying to hold out until the production front bumper from slee is released... Blueberry sure is a beast... Man I love that truck... I'm also curious to hear how the 200 Slee has been working on did at Moab...

Whoops guess i misunderstood the post by Christo in the 200 forum where he said he would answer more questions when they got back from Moab... Sounded like it may be going and with all the pictures of the 200 being outfitted i assumed it would be there... My bad...

r3run33 · 05-07-08, 12:27 PM

it looks good i thought he may have forgotten us poor 100 guys

bwbski26 · 05-07-08, 03:36 PM

Also if slee could give us an update on when the skid plates will be available?

1loudLX · 05-07-08, 03:40 PM

i set up this thread for anything regarding Slee and the 100 series.

I will post pictures in the next couple of days. There is some good news and some bad news. Good news are belly pan and intermediate plates are available for shipping. Front plate proto is being fitted.

The bumper is another story. We changed the design, made what we thought would be the last prototype and put it on a LC and it looks like poop. We then put it on the LX and it looked really good. So now we are back to doing a LX and LC bumper. So we are back to the drawing board. Sorry.

thats disappointing to hear about the new bumper. Christo, is there any new time line on the LC bumper?

spressomon · 05-07-08, 07:37 PM

I heard Christo is working on the refinements to the new 100/470 bumper design.

Hijack in place

: Also...for those of you that don't know: Christo is now offering a rear e-locker guard/bash plate. I just discovered this yesterday...but Christo said he has offered it for a while now.

I think Christo has many irons in the fire. Based on my experience in product development he is bringing new designs to market faster than I would think possible.
IMHO the openness of his operation, and the quality of his products lead to the fan fair, not any cunning marketing scheme.

im sure your right.
