Members whom seek shipping answers, here's a reply from TomV on the other thread, I hope it eases your concerns:

"For those asking about shipping costs, I bought one of these bumpers from Alex over the summer. Shipping from Cali to Long Island, NY was very reasonable considering the size and weight of this thing. Well under $200 from what I recall. And very professionally packed in a reinforced box.

The bumper bolted right up. I got the one with light cut-outs and powder coated black. Looks great."

Im in and will be in until the thing is on my rig. I'm at 93230. It will probably be a lot cheaper to just have it sent to me. Unless it'll fit in my wifes prius with half the rear seat folded down. Not Likely.
 
Jose, What is the bolt pattern for the winch mount. Is it 10x4.5 I was looking at a Warn Hydraulic that is 12x4.5 and I was wondering if it would fit. Also, how far out does the A/C dryer hang? My truck has an inch and a half of body lift (which is why I like this bumper, it won't leave a gap) so I'm thinking that my dryer should hide behind the bumper.

Winch mount is the standard 10x4.5.

The dryer will hang down quite a bit because of the high clearance wings. In this pic you can see how far it sticks out even after pushing the dryer up about 2"

Recently I relocated the dryer by rotating it counter-clockwise. Now it's completely tucked away

I would prefer to pick it up at the freight company here in Houston and save some $ on the delivery side of the shipping equation. Trying to lighten the wallet as little as possible.

I'm assuming powder coating is extra $?

Thanks. Like the idea of turning the dryer. Looks like I'll be getting a mile marker since they're the only ones I can find with a standard bolt pattern on a hyd winch.

Spoke to Alex today, I have some good news and some bad news. Let's go with the bad news first, shipping is not a problem for him, but I need all your full addresses, please PM me for that so he can provide you an accurate estimate.

For those assuming powder coat is more $$, yes of course, but the price shown includes powder coating.
- No powder coat -$100
- Clear powder coat is available and same price as black powder coat meaning it's the same price <=== I think I will go with this option.
- I negotiated with him about taxes, if you are willing to pay in cash he will not charge tax.
- For members far far away, you can paypal gift me to pay him in cash for you or suffer the consequences. Receipt will be provided.

I'm assuming tax is only for in-state buyers right?
 
Jose, that's actually a great point... I wonder how tax will work for folks out of state...
Didn't California changed their out of state and E-commerce tax laws? I hope for the best but I'm not too clear on it. I also understand it's a large amount of money to "gift" someone, of course you can pay the 3% it's a lot less than tax, but rest assure I have my own money to spend :)
- I'm doing a group buy for sliders and skid plates, I have 5 other people's money for the group buy, I'm dropping off tomorrow.
 
I'm not a tax expert so I don't know all the laws but I have never had to pay sales tax on an out of state purchase in the history of everdom, even now. Not sure how it works with out of state guys buying stuff in CA...but I don't think they're supposed to charge tax to an out of state buyer.
 
That would be great if they don't have to pay tax, I understand I pay tax for all my Amazon purchases now. Well I will do my best to find out, if you guys have any knowledge of this please chime in to clarify.
I'm just glad I'm not paying tax :D

Yeah that Amazon thing sucks! But it's not all Amazon purchases. It's only when the seller has a physical presence in the state the goods are being shipped/sold to that sales tax applies.
 
pending my quote doesn't come back north of 400 :p I should be in :p
 
I need everyone's full address, post it here or PM me. I want to get the quotes by the end of tmr so we can move forward.
I have yours bulhas :)
 
hahaha Its habit, when getting anything from the US to just supply the whole address
 
SoCal,
I emailed you details through gmail.

Thanks! I can't wait to get this!
 
I'm in. I want no light cut out - powder coated black. Thanks. Will PM my address.
 
My phone crapped out last night, it was a pretty sad day today but I managed to buy an iphone 4s.
I updated new members, should be getting quotes tmr, hang in there. I'm sure you guys are on the edge of your seat
