Dissent Front Bumper Group Buy

[clx16]

So of i wanted an aluminum front bumper for my 100, could I be included?

He already makes the 100 series so you just need to reach out to him to order as far as i know. No need to wait on any group buy etc.

The answer to that is buried in this thread, but I believe the answer is no.

Correct, sorry for the belated response guys. On vacation with mandatory internet break.

So order soon before aluminum also jumps or has that happened also?

 

[SteelHunterFJ80]

Its not to far behind in my opinion. Some steel products can use aluminum so I would think a 15% increase wouldn't be unreasonable

Bump.... can't believe there are only 3 of us interested in this bumper.

Ben and the Dissent Offroad crew knocked out the rear bumper over the last couple weeks. Laser scan of the truck, CAD design, laser table cutting, fabrication, and powder coating. The design work took the majority of the time. Ben’s team re-designed a new rear crossmember, which was significantly different than the 100 series. The trucks 1” body lift provided addition challenges.

With a 37” spare, the tire carrier needed additional strength to prevent movement. The side quarter panel protection was not included in the design, but added at my request. Also, the combo lights on the bumper are not standard equipment, but were added for safety since the 37” spare and triple Jerry can box somewhat block the tail lights.

I’m impressed with the quality, design, and toughness of the bumper. Dissent build this with rocky difficult trails in mind. No aftermarket recovery points are required for either the front or rear bumper. Test driving will wait for gear install next week.

That receiver bracing looks a lot stronger than my stock setup....

I’m thinking the same thing. The bracing is beefy.

I Iike your mix of black and gray powder coat. I want to do the same but maybe on the front have the center gray and the wings black. Looks awesome!!!

I'm shopping for a front bumper for my 80, I'd be interested in alum.

I will admit to skipping the middle pages, is there an estimated price?

Are these shipping bare or coated?

 

[clx16]

@Mr. Notorious you price it out based on options, and we just looked at his website prices for the 100 series and options. The price may be more for steel since those prices in the raw are higher everywhere, but I haven't heard anything official from Ben. He powdercoats in house so you can get it raw or coated.

The rear bumper looks soooo sexy

A neighbor, who is a fabricator and desert racer, stopped to see the new bumpers. He said, “Who ever built these is good. That’s quality work.” I agree
