Your a sick man .. you Texas boys have spent to much time in that hot sun!! Scrambled your eggs.

UPDATE*** I going to pick up the rest of the pieces for the first batch of bumpers. Some of it didnt pass my QC so I had them redo em. Then packaging and shipping!!! I promise it will be worth the wait. Once I'm completely caught up I'm gonna build about 5 or 6 of each and have them ready to go to powder upon ordering. Losing that 2 weeks to the LUPUS flare up screwed everything up for me and for what its worth I never plan on having a flare up.. ever. Just happens. So... hang in and chill out we'll get there.

I want to say how great it is that we have an entrepreneur like Underdawg who has built his model around creating high quality, functional designs around 80 Series. He's carving out a niche for himself and his designs, I say let him go gangbusters on his ideas.

There may be some delays in our orders but part of that is because we are part of the prototype stage and beginning stage of his business, also, if he's not happy with the quality it's going to be delayed until he is, I'm sure he appreciates the patience.

I am happy to support small business in the U.S.A. and our custom bumpers will be worth the wait.

Lastly, let's support him and his 80 Series business n the best way we can, give him more orders.

Best,

Zona

Amen. I would also say he is prototyping extremely fast as an independent vendor, filtering through a lot of feedback on the fly and am excited to see how these products take shape. Don't currently have the budget for a stout bumper but very interested down the road. Will rear / swingout bumpers be in the lineup too?

Great work!

Rumor is i should have a bumper in hand by the end of this week. Looking forward to it. Jason is great to work with.

Well you guys almost made me cry.. seriously. I can't express what your comments mean to me. I do all I can for everyone I can. Sometimes it's enough and sometimes it isnt. Its nice to get a little boost every now and again. There are those that wanna kick you when your down, but they never last. Its usually out of jealousy or some other childish reason. But the good folks far out number the bad. And thankfully all those that I've dealt with thus far have been excellent. I owe you guys everything. Ill always be around as long as I'm doing this to answer your calls or PM's at 12am. My phone number is in my sig for a reason. Thanks

Well, this ain't happening I'm guessing. Has anybody seen any pictures of any built bumpers besides the 'prototype'? I've asked multiple times & haven't received any pic's.

 

[UnderDawg]

Pictures did you say pictures? Doubt not my child... pictures coming up in two shakes of an old mans hand.

 

[UnderDawg]

Man what a couple of days... thought I was gonna lose my mind for a sec or 2. We worked most of the night and today to get these perfect. I think we did it.

This is after I noticed the bubbling in the finish and called Dave. He said to bring them in asap and we'd get it straightened out. I tried to sand on em a little thats why they look shiny in spots.

2 racks done and ready for shipping



Close up on the finish. Everything is flawless now. I put the eagle eye on all.

Couple more gone.. got multiple burns and blood in these.. hope you like em.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Jas, Keeping your wits about you, I like it... I went through some serious issues with shipping here in WY on my bumpers when I first started back up. I wanted to KILL...

All I have is my word when it comes to my products and when you add a second or third party to the deal... IT GETS FRUSTRATING QUICKLY!

Cheers to you and your products,

J
