Just noticed that you have a DO rear? Do you have shots of that? Swing out?

Sure.

 

[Vistataco]

Hoop..... Yes or No?

 

[Brentbba]

Yes on the hoop. Just 'Yes' was too short a response!

 

[Vistataco]

Yes on the hoop. Just 'Yes' was too short a response!

Thank you for the unnecessarily long yes response.

X2 on the hoop. Are you going to put your lights in the hoop?

 

[Brentbba]

Thank you for the unnecessarily long yes response.

A three letter reply will get you an error message from our benevolent dictator's set up on the board as being to short.

I would go a little higher with the hoop show that "L" wear those pink panties proud!

There will be some smaller lights in the bumper and may get some smaller lights in the hoop. Pretty sure the IPFs i have will not fit in there. We could make the hoop bigger but dont really like the big center hoop look.

I was literally just thinking i wish Demello Offroad would make an 80 series bumper. If the price point is near the ARB with some hoops, i might be buying!

Not sure what the price point would be if he were to agree to make additional units. I just force him into making $hit for me.

 

[Layonnn]

I agree on the hoop being a little higher above the L.

 

[Slomo]

Yes on the hoop. I like Jason's work very much, sure would be sweet if he could make more of the front bumpers. Assuming of course that it would be $ worth his time. Bummer is the market for 80 stuff might not be big enough to be worth all the work it would take to draw/jig up for. Definitely look forward to seeing the finished product.

I think you could sell 80 fronts fairly well here in Cali, Slee's is nice but shipping is steep and some folks want a better design than the ARB, DO does nice work, Im still a tube kind of guy..

 

[fjc8871]

They would sell well in Cali and surrounding states. I remember reading about FJers making road trips to get work done.

And here it powdered and mounted:

C'mon Garry, that's just a teaser pic!

Yeah, I took that off of his Facebook page. i will pick it up tomorrow and take some more pics before I test it out on Dishpan and John Bull this weekend.

 

[fjc8871]

Looks great!

 

[Vistataco]

Here are some full size pics after i got it home last night: (and yes, those little ACRO lights are really bright!)
