Just got mine yesterday and one hell of a good looking bumper with fast and efficient service=

. If anyone is interested in these bumpers don't hesitate because you will not be dissappointed either by craftsmanship, turn around, or overall service. I give it two thumbs up!!

Can you add a Bull Bar to your FJ40 Front Bumper?

Similar to ARB's.

1974FJ · 02-04-08, 10:50 PM

Not at this moment. Until i get a tube bender, i can not. Sorry

mooker82 · 02-20-08, 11:12 AM

What part of NC are you in? I may be heading towards Charlotte or Hickory from Charleston and would like to pick one up if its on the way. If not any idea on shipping to 29482?

woooody · 02-21-08, 01:13 PM

You may want to offer up an option of mounting for people that have saginaw conversions.

1974FJ · 02-21-08, 04:21 PM

Thanks Woody,
I did make a bumper for a guy named Chris, who had a PS conversion. I didn't add any mounting tabs and he just welded it to his frame rails. I can basically make mounts for any application if requested.

woooody · 02-21-08, 04:30 PM

Yeah, Chris' appears to use the "Butch Lewis" plates -- I think Georg and Luke at 4x4labs sell a similar saginaw package with those plates.

looks good!
