Ya, our website is not the focus of our business at this point. We are working hard to develop the first round of products and get those stable. Sell some stuff, reinvest into business, starting with website. It serves it's purpose for the time being though.
Where do the slam latches latch? Quite a bit of stress on that latch right? I have the cam lever style and can't stand them wish more had this slam latch design.

We like to think the bumper itself should take all the stress while the latch only has one job, and design towards that. You can kind of see below, sorry for the dirt.
They have been getting beat up from the feet up for a bit now, purposely overtightened and overworked. No issues have developed as of yet.
Very nice, should sell that latch system separately

That’s the sauce, man! We plan to incorporate it into as many other bumpers as possible. In all reality, it would be quite difficult to just “add it in” to a homemade type thing.
Everyone's so fortunate to be in North America. Here in NZ we only have ARB, TJM, Ironman(all three of these look similar, I like the classic look but its not what I'm going for), and then there's XRox, but imo looks very tacky. I priced out importing bumpers, including 4x4labs DIY kits, but in the end it was better for me to go custom with the right fabricator. I do have some basic welding skill sets but felt it was better to have someone else do the work. Honestly I couldn't be happier, even if considering off the shelf options. I have a one off bumper that I like more than other options.
Cross between Trail-Gear functionality with high mount winch location(not everyone will like this since it sticks forward some, but gives you ample room to run very large winches, and the looks of Pelfreybilt hybrid bumper(popular Tacoma bumpers).
I do plan on bringing the 80 back with me to North America when the time comes, so I could have maybe waited to get everything done from the various options there, but I'm a pretty impatient man.
My rendering I gave the fabricator...
Currently waiting for powdercoat to get done, but here's how she looks...
