I have a bunch of these switches on my dash of Foo. Really like the Rear Lights switch.

I am thinking about a rear bumper for Boost and like the 4x4 labs. There is a group buy going on now. Anyone else interested?

Are you thinking about going the kit route where you weld it all together, or the already welded up version?

I might be very interested as well, though I'm having a hard time figuring out all of the pricing and which accessories are included and not. If you go the kit route, I'd need some of your welding experience....and labor...and shoptime...but I'm a great student!

My 36th birthday is this month, so might be able to convince the wife that I deserve a rear bumper!....and rock sliders...and rear lower control arms...

Interesting...it was on my list for this summer......

 

[2fpower]

I would have to think we could save a bunch on shipping if we got a few of us together....

If you guys get serious on this then keep me in the loop, I might be able to sell enough spare parts to make a dent in one of these.

 

[2fpower]

he is talking about closing this group buy this weekend. So this is either going to happen or not pretty quick. in other words, start selling.

 

[half k cruiser]

@2fpower I'm thinking the basic bumper kit would be sweet and could be added to later. Although I'm not sure what the basic bumper looks like, I wish they had pictures.

 

[rockstate45]

Anybody have an idea on what shipping costs would be?

That would be awesome but I don't know if I can swing one right now.

 

[FZJ80 in KC]

I'll reach out to 4x4 labs tomorrow and get some size and weight estimates, and run some shipping estimates at cost. Generally, the more we move together, the lower the unit cost will be.

There is a pic in this thread which is linked for DIY instructions from the 4x4labs website that shows a basic bumper.

@Robkc so the white 80 series belonging to land cruiser phil has the basic bumper ?

 

[Stylo07]

I'm interested in the front bumper, although I'm having a tough time getting firm prices. I'd likely order the bumper welded unless someone knows of someone who would weld it locally for a fair price. I have Luke's rear and can vouch that its a quality unit.
