They sure look nice. Are these bumpers still available?
Would like to get the tire carrier off the original location.

Damn, just ran across this thread. Dave is an awesome vendor, I cherish my front brush guard that I hounded him till he finally relented and made a batch. Like others have said, the build quality will outlast the rest of the truck. Hopefully its not too late to place an order for the flip kits, there isn't an equal for this and I better grab them now.
I guess I am not letting you go away without me pestering you again. On a serious note, thank you for your contributions to the community!

adding to the string, just finished my rear axle swap and used Dave's flip kit. Cant believe I waited this long to purchase. Hopefully today I will start on the front swap as well and install the flip kit there as well.
I am hopeful we can swing some business Dave's way so he can continue to provide top notch products. I now have a 4plus front bumper, brush guard and U-bolt flip kits.
Thank you again

Still hanging in. looking at options to pass the production to a worthy successor. A little slower getting things out without a full crew

It maybe too late to ask but I would like to know if it is possible to adapt one of your tire carriers to the back of my FJ40 that I am working on. It does not have the bumperetts but a fairly stout 4x4 square tube bumper that extends about 8'' out from the rear frame cross member that the previous owner built. I would like to have a tire carrier whose load is not bearing on the rear corner panel.

Looks like you still have factory crossmember behind that giant tube bumper.
IMO I'd hack that thing off and then bolt on Dave's dual swingout.

One of the best things I've added to my 40. I really needed the carrying capacity since my rear bench seat is always full of carseats and kids.

I just bought side steps and u-bolt flip from Dave, trying to get as much of his stuff as I can!

looks like a pretty thin wall thickness
It offers a considerable amount of protection beyond the stock setup, has a stout hitch receiver built in and I also like the recessed tail lights which should they be damaged are easily and cheaply replaced.

I suppose I can fab a tire rack myself using the 4 Plus as a guide, I'll need to find the parts for the roller bearing pivot which I think is a nice detail.

I'm thinking the outer mounts of the carrier would encroach on the inside holes for the Oval LEDs

I will give this another bump as I juat heard as well.

Dave has helped us out many times at GSMTR (bow shackles anyone?) and his products are great. I have owned two of his front bumpers, a swing out, u-bolt flip - all great stuff. I hate to hear another long time "old school" member of the clan is closing doors but when the time is ripe...
Thanks Dave for the years of support to the hobby!
 
Thread bump, is Dave still fabricating Land Cruiser gear ?

Thanks
 
yes, surgery saved me from an early retirement.... if 65 years old is an early retirement
Glad to hear. I do need to place an order so when you’re ready I can send it over.
The whole retirement thing sounds nice but I think my wife would kill me with a large “to do” list. I will stay working just to control my day at an even pace.
