I’m interested in a 80 rear bumper as well. As soon as the wife’s 100 sells I can throw some love at the 80

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Rumor is you have a fine running 2.8 Cummins in an 80 series? Please tell

We can certainly do some custom work for you!

Custom?

Rear bumper, it needs a trailer hitch!

Nothing crazy, I ain’t towing a boat, but a hitch to place a shelf for camping supplies, bike rack, ect would be nice.

I understand liability, so that’s an issue, but even drilled to accept pintle bolt attachments would give the option for an aftermarket pintle/hitch receiver would be great.

It would cover your laser/water cut logo though.

Something like the attached pic to allow mounting would be a great compromise if unwilling to weld in an actual hitch. Just 4 additional holes drilled in bumper, assuming it’s a flush fit in that area.

An update on design & to-market timeframe would be super too.

Thanks fellas!

Might want to check out an existing product from Slee Off Road:
Slee - 2" Receivers

Thanks for the offer, we've got a 92 and a 95 here though. What we ARE looking for is a 100 and a 200 series, so if you've got any of those sitting around, that'd be pretty awesome.

Slow but sure!

I've got a 100 series for ya! Wanna make some envious bumpers for it?!?!

We have discussed this topic much and have decided the rear bumper will have a removable plate so people can access the 4 factory holes to mount whatever they see fit.

As far as timing from your other post, the first 3 FJ bumpers are on the way to powdercoat, the FZJ bumpers are about to follow. They will all be available for order very soon.

What's a realistic turnaround time? A month?.....can probably deliver within two weeks

The longer the better, a month would probably work well if that is possible.

 

[FJBroBri]

No problem...Sept. 7th sound good? .......got a bunch of parts if you want to do a SAS....too!

I can do a month, no problem.

September works. We can certainly discuss custom work for SAS offline, send a PM with phone number.

Man that bumper is gorgeous! But wait - do you have to pull it to remove the headlights? or can you reach that lower screw through the hole for the signal light

Also, please sign me up for one!

 

[Delta VS]

above post

You can easily reach the lower bolt with the bumper installed, no worries there!

Did you ever get a set of radius arms out for testing? Curious what the feedback has been so far as I know there was some concerns with them interfering with tie rods. Looking around your site today reminded of them again.

Just installed 3rd prototype and will be giving it a good testing this weekend. Will probably make the first two prototypes available if some folks want to purchase in the near future, but with no support. The latest prototype is much better in terms of manufacturability, cost, and strength at the cost of awesome good looks (still looks unique, just not trophy truck unique).
