By far the best looking concept bumper out there. Hopefully you will continue to pursue this idea. Can't wait to see the real thing.

What size WARN wench should go with the ARB bull bumper?
????
Ummm... I think most midsize vehicle ARB bumpers are designed to use anything from a 8000lb to a 9500lb warn.
This bumper will probobly be able to handle about the same as far as warns go, but you'll be able to fit up to a 12000lb milemarker or T-max with no problems....

This looks better just being on the real thing, instead of the concept.

they are not letting anyone have access to the forum unless your a member. you obtain membership by going to two trail runs and then you have to be voted in, wich is fine its their forum but they were letting nonmembers use the forum but today i went to log in and they gave this explanation that you get no forum access until you have been voted in.
elitists?

Oh, ya I think thats prettymuch how it works. I'm not sure if its that way throughout the TLCA though.... Then again I'm not totally sure what there concidered. I thought they were like a chapter or somthing? I don't know. I think just about everyone that applys is voted in though, but I wouldn't know, I'm not a member...

wasatch isn't the only club that requires a vote for particpation. check around it's not uncommon. of course Fonz you'd never get voted in because you keep driving those damn jeep things
TLCA membership is required for all WC members and aside from actually going wheeling we have no other requirements.dmc

i've been watching the thread on and off. i'm waiting to see some more final drafts before I comment. my own 2 cents is that if you want a winch it's going to look aftermarket and personally i like aftermarket. gets some photochop on a production unit photo and you'll get a lot more feedback.
so there you go. was that nice or not? i'm not sure. i really like the TJ bumpers you made but you'll need to streamline your production this time i believe. good design. high and out of the way. didn't really care for the rear bumpers. so i guess the fj will be the tie breaker.

Ya, my first round of rear bumper for the TJ's were met with mixed fealings. Truth be told I didn't get any solid feaback on them before I put them into production. Now I have 3 giant paper weights lying around in the shape of a bumper that I don't know what to do with. But the 2nd generation have been met with alot of good response, especially the swingout tire carrier versions....

yeah looks like a better design. the first run just looked way to bulky. just didn't fit the body lines very well. i only saw it on cam's unlimited which could have been the problem. might have looked better on stock tj. improved design looks much cleaner and less ready to hang up on something.

That is a sexy a$$. Can't wait to see what you will do with the FJ butt.
I agree. The cleanest lines and with the small bar it makes much more suited to my needs. Hey Jfonz can you photoshop this bumper onto the new FJ Cruiser picture. I would love to see how it looks. Let me know whats up.
jfonz said:Hears a photshop image infront of the production model FJcruiser vs the concept for those that were wonting so see it....
This is the best design by FAR .... I would buy that bar in a heartbeat if available (oh, and if I actually owned an F/J Cruiser )
