Delta VS 100 Series bumpers in the works (1 Viewer)

[KraziAzn]

No offense, but unless some of the 100 series owners cross into the 80 series forums often, few will know anything about your bumpers, and this kind of response doesn't help.

That being said, although I'm a loyal fan of Ben and his Dissent armor for the 100, what you've done for the 80 series is amazing, and if you can approach that with the 100 series, I can see why you'd price it the way you plan to. Although it lacks the weld-porn that you see on some of the aforementioned offerings, the design is very good looking, tight-fitting and works well with the body lines of the 80. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with and glad to see even more options for the 100.

For those that haven't seen it on the 80:

It has a tactical look to it. Kinda reminds me of an armored vehicle. The way the bumper is shaped looks like it is designed to ricochet bullets off.

Interested in the rear bumper!

You will be seeing that very soon, don't worry!!

Looking forward to seeing this mounted. Are you sizing for a Warn M8000 as you do with the 80 series bumper?
I assume no cutting and it mounts using the existing bolt holes in the front end?
Thoughts on about how much it will weigh?

Update on winch fitment. Got a HF 12K winch the other day for the shop trailer and test fit in an 80 series bumper. Squeezes in there just fine, 100 series has tons more room so winch size should be a non-issue.

Have a mess o' parts in the shop now to weld up the first one. Will post up some pics on a rig in the near future.

Looking forward to how it will look on the 100.

Looks good! I checked out your guys's site and saw the 80 series center console upgrades as well as the ceiling storage rack. Any plans to make those for the 100?

This 1000x over. The 100 series interior aftermarket is severely lacking!

Nice 80s bumper by the way. Looking forward to your final reveal.

I'm going to throw my unwanted $.02 out there and say, if you're looking at doing more stuff for 100s... Please make a rear antenna mount. There's none out there right now, to my knowledge.

And honestly... I wasn't sure how I felt about these, but what @KraziAzn said is spot on. It has a tactical look, and I dig it. It's more of a boutique bumper (at least that's how I see it) but that's not a bad thing, considering there's always more room for aftermarket products. It's nice to have options, especially ones that stand out.

Still nowhere near my price range, but I can appreciate the work being put into this. Stoked to see the final product.

Interested in seeing how these turn out.

Six months since donating my '99 LX470 as the template for Delta's 100 series bumper(s) build....

Hopefully they'll be finished and on the market soon, for all of us to enjoy.

What did they offer you as compensation? Free bumper? I can't imagine being without from my rig for six months, I'll probably get separation anxiety

I dunno. I'd give mine up for 6 months for a $2k bumper. Curious to see the progress on these because I'm in the market for a bumper and not really sold on any specific style/design yet. I vary from wanting a blueberry to a bent tube mad max looking one.

Sub'd to follow. You've got some cool 80 products going on.

They offered a very good discount, as well as some freebies... I'm am getting antsy, fo' sho! Good thing I have too many vehicles to begin with...

Bump for an update maybe a sneak peak @Delta VS ?

 

[TTViper]

Thanks for making another option for the 100! if this project is still in the works...

It is definitely still in the works, no sneak peeks though! It's almost ready to go. Thank you for the interest.

I'm anxious to see what you come up with. You've got some great designs. Very futuristic rugged.

I agree. Great designs!

I love the ceiling storage rack for the 80-Series. If something like that was available for the 100, I'd definitely buy it.

Time for a quick update, rear bumper is getting test fit on a second vehicle so we can be confident fit is good. Off to powdercoat, then installation for first vehicle.

I'd like to understand the reasoning behind the overhang on the side, I understand that it makes it a nice step but... I'd rather not have a tab to get hung up on the trail, or walk into... I'd make that trade for a smaller step. Same is on the 80.

Couple notes from the 80 bumper I saw... pretty easy to resolve, but things I did not expect to see on a "top of the line" product and things that I hope to not see on the 100 bumpers when they make it into the wild.
- Fastener grip lengths were all pretty short, probably need another 1/16 or so for thread protrusion. No reason a fastener should only half engage the locking feature of a nut. 1.5 thread protrusion if you wanna be legit.
- No washers under some heads/nuts... bit of a bummer, there is no reason a top of the line bumper should ever have nuts turning on the finish. Never ever.
- Strike plate overhangs on sides.
- Swing outs hit head of socket head cap screw when fully open instead of pin catching the hole. Chipped power. Use a pan head instead.
