Interest in Shrockworks front bumper for 100 Series

[ginericLC]

mtnracer, I can tell you from experience selling 80 series spring spacers that I fabbed myself, your 20 committed people will turn out to be 1 or 2 that would buy.

Hey I got some from you! I'm not sure I committed though. But I was happy to get them.

I'm very curious to see what Slee comes up with and what Schrockworks decides on this. I really like the ARB Sahara but it is a lot of money and I think it is a little light duty for my use. I just ordered an ARB for my dad on Sunday and already I'm figuring what steel I need to order to make it a little more durable.

I couldnt wait until Slee came out with his front bumper... I went with an ARB. Around here you dont see any 100's with an ARB...i've seen one. He also bought a rear bumper, sliders and a lift from Slee....

i asked him if he wheeled it and he said he just liked the way it looks....oh well...

If you are talking about the turbo truck, yes never wheeled that. I had other trucks that I could beat on. One has to keep one pretty truck

Was it a white LX470? Aside from seeing Macneill on the highway and some white LX470 with a sahara, I've never seen a 100 in the NE with an ARB.

nope, it was grey. not Macs. It was in Darien, CT. I talked with the guy and he just put on the stuff for looks. he might be on mud b/c i gave him the website and told him to check it out. I cant remember if he said he sent his truck to Christo and had him put all the stuff on or if he ordered it from him and had it put on in CT.

In any case it was a sweet cruiser.

may be interested...

FWIW i looked and at all bumper options, considered getting a custom bumper fab'd up; talked to slee about a bulk order for adding my lift, sliders, etc... It does get expensive fast because items are so pricey for the 100's... In the end I bought a FJ40. I'm still going to continue to add the my 100 as more things become available for them... I am interested in some other front bumper options but so far the Slee design has been my favorite design... For what these things cost with shipping a good fabricator can probably turn one around for about the same cost. I like the custom job on Gineric's ride also and people that have done the custom work on the TJM bumpers.... I just missed getting the TJM and I would've mod'd it like others have... My friend with a Jeep is having a hard time picking out bumpers because there are so many starting dirt cheap... Must be nice...

i like Ginerics bumper as well. It looks good.

I missed the TJM's as well, but i only wanted to go with them b/c i didnt want the weight of an ARB on the front. I said fawk it and am slapping on an ARB and OME T-bars. I guess the bottom line is that the ARB has proven itself.

True and it's my favorite but the overhang and approach angle is absolutely rediculous and somebody needs to do something about it...

 

[1loudLX]

Snook already did...

 

[Adventure Teq]

I mean on a large scale.

Any updates on this??? Or have we already givenup on this??

Nothing new. We need 20 committed people to sign up for Shrockworks to even look at this.

I think a lot of people want to wait for the Slee bumper because they can see it ahead of time. Shrockworks requires a deposit before work even begins.

The bottom line: We need more people.

 

[TXLX470]

Damn...there goes my free bumper.....

no way i would put down a deposit on a bumper site unseen. also im not sure if you guys realize that there are like 4 different front mounting arangments for the 100 series. there is the 98-03 lc, and 03-08 lc and then the lexus front. not sure if the shrock is aware of this, and is capable of dealing with this. this is why slee bumper has been in the works for so long.
