That, J, is a seriously beautiful bumper....I'm pretty picky about lines and just the aesthetic "bulk" level of stuff and how the proportions match the truck....that looks fantastic! :)

Thanks JT, means a lot. I'll be chatting with you in the near future about finishing up some work and then see when we can get Chunk up here for a face-lift. :grinpimp:

Cruiser is looking sweet!

I am also purchasing shop toys lately. Got a new 40gal parts washer the other day. Been eyeballing a new sand blast cabinet too. Last night I was working on making a cart for a project, one that holds the frame in the center allowing me to work on the leaves and axles with nothing in my way. Time spent in the man cave rocks!

Cheers
 
Well J I think I have decided that I am going to start saving up for one of your bumpers, love the lines and the simplicity of it and the fact that it can/does hold a winch is nice (though I am still debating on getting one/using one). What is the final weight on that badboy as is (without the protective arches)? Might be worth it to offer with and without the arches as I like the simplistic look without them.

I, thanks man.. New toys are the greatest ( next for me is a 50"- 60 ton homemade press brake and a CNC plasma ). I like that idea on the cart. Let me know if you need anything from down here.. Looks like next week I'll be heading up for an eye exam, Thursday-ish)

Thanks and SAVE away Greg :lol:, I'll be ready when you are. I will know the final weight on Wed.. I have a new digital shipping scale coming in and can get an exact weight on my stuff. I have been calculating weights based off material thickness, etc..

Any of my products are available in a variety of styles and mods for customers. (within limitations ;)) Sliders will start around 550.00 as well...

I'll PM you with a price with and without grill/headlight protection.

When I went to pull Goss out of the shop he was graveyard DEAD.. A quick jump and he fired right up. Need to find the elctrical gremlin drain..A couple of just because pics.

As soon as the 80 is out of the shop Joe ('13 FJC) goes under the knife.. HA!

Thanks so much Niffa.


Wish I could design and build a Roo Thumper for my mates down under... But the shipping would be horrific I'm afraid.
