Another Tommy Gun Bumper and a couple other things.

[1972FJ55]

After scanning through countless bumper threads, I sent Tommy a compilation of the things I wanted in a front bumper, and this is the result. I've also added OME 861/862 springs, Tokico shocks from Camelback (thanks Murf), Nitto Terra Grapplers (285/75-16's-again Murf had the best price) and had the stock wheels powder-coated satin black. Tommy's currently working on the rear bumper and step-sliders from BIO are on order. After that, some sort of drawer-sleeping platform when time/funds permit.

Nice! Tommy does great work doesnt he? Cant beat having one made specific to your wants/needs. Looking good

What kind of lights do you have mounted in the bumper?

Yep, I'm definately impressed with the quality and price of his work! The lights are some 3" projectors but since I haven't gotten them wired up yet, I don't know if they're any good. Here's a couple pic's of Tommy at work.

Thanks to the advise of someone who should remain nameless, [STRIKE]LandCruiserPhil[/STRIKE], I saved myself a bunch of money and did the Krylon thing.

Is Tommy a local Guy? That is a sweet bumper.

That looks like the offspring of my Slee shortbus and Murf's front bumper. Looks good.

Thanks. Tommy's shop is in Phoenix. I feel that it's worth the drive to be able to get his quality and skill. He's really good to work with. PM me or Murf if you'd like contact info.

Thanks. I sent pictures of three different bumpers to Tommy, then we talked about how to combine features into what I was after.

I saw this bumper prior to paint and it looked outstanding. Very heavy duty with a light look.

Update

Well the rear bumper is almost complete. I still need to paint it, drill the hole for the back-up camera and decide on the swing-out. I like the way Tommy routed the exhaust using the flex coupler.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Very nice!

 

[splitshot]

I concur!

 

[bwesty]

Nice work. That is cleanly done

 

[cartercd]

Ooooh me likey the rear bumper! Did it require removing the rear cross member? Would like to see more pics when you are finished.

His prices are very reasonable. I have had him make 2 rear swing-away bumpers for me.

I wouldn't want to quote any prices I received in the past as most work is custom and can vary in price. Plus I got mine ~2 years ago.

Give him a call or an email. He's a great guy. Gets busy at times with his other gig, so be patient.
