[Get outside]

Price is for raw steel correct? No paint or PC.

There's a big chance we'll be seeing a few of these at HIH5 next summer! Isn't that right @andy?

^ Yup. First time I saw this one I asked him to make them for sale. It's awesome looking. Curious to hear about the air bag issue, but not a dealbreaker for me.

That is very nice and I would be interested as well. Few minor things I would like to see a bit different but my main concern is of course the AIR BAG SENSORS. What can you say about it?

What would you like to see changed? And I'm not sure on the air bag sensors. What year is your 100? And do you have any pics of the sensor location? Both 100s iv done so far were 2000 with no sensors in the bumper

Right, powder coat could be added. I think they charge about $150

Once I get some commitments I will start doing a little more research, what I'm planing on doing is building another one for mine with a few little changes so let me know what you guys would like to see

 

[ntsaint]

Definitely put me on the list.

Will do, your first in line

Put me down as well (if the shipping cost will not kill it...)

One of the 100 series bumper issues is frame to body flex.

I'd like to see a high-lift or rock lifting from a wing to see how it deflects. Similarly it would be nice to put a winch load on it both upward and downward and see how things flex.

I think it's a great looking bumper but as close as it is fit to the body I would like to see some load/deflection testing before I get too excited.

I understand your concerns but I have been pretty hard on it with no body contact. That being said I will likely give the production bumper a little more clearance for that reason. You will notice that a custom bumper built on the truck will hug the body tighter than a production bumper. I do understand that no two vehicles are the exact same. Here are a few close ups of the clearance and the mounting.

Really looking forward to seeing the production version, looking great so far. There are a lot of things I like about it, looks strong, light and manufacturable.

Also, I'm thinking about a DIY kit for those of you that know how to weld. Let me know what you think

I'd do a DIY front and rear if you'd offer it.

 

[Cragfiend]

Love it. I'll PM you in a moment with contact info regarding ordering.

Pm sent.

For now I'm starting with the front. I don't know if I will offer a rear because of how similar mine is to 4x4 labs. Luke already sells an awesome DIY rear bumper! Let me know if you would be interested in just a front

Pm me your zip and I can check on shipping. Or you could check. The bumper weighs 105 lbs and my zip is 95945

Who ever is interested please pm me which options you would like. Thanks
