Iron Pig Bumpers and Side Armor

[concretejungle]

Those guys need a new laser cutter/bender guy. I'm always hearing about them waiting for the laser cut to finish or bend.

However, i must give props to those guys because when the final product is out, it is always top shelf. Plus, they are super nice guys to deal with.

SUPPORT THE EAST COAST!!! SUPPORT IPOR

Wow, can't wait to see what they look like!!!

 

[07TEQ]

I cant wait to see them either.......mainly cause its my rig there...... but after talking with Lance and Cam several times I think I made the best decision i could have....... I am not putting any other company down I think its time to support the East Coast guys for a change......

I cant wait to see them and if the are nice I will order a set and drive down to get them installed. I know they will be nice. Have to start saving.

I have dealt with IPOR on 2 seperate occasions, and I cant say enough about them. East Coast Support!

OK here we go

Within two weeks of the first of January I will have some pics and hopefully a release date for the production of this our front and rear bumper for the new FJC.

Thank you for your patience.

What patience? I have no stinking patience.
Can't wait to see the bumpers.

 

[CandyPants]

Any word?

My bumper is all but off. Have one dented bumperette and one duct taped on. Can't wait to see what y'all have come up with!

 

[sikocycles]

Ok where are the pics. Even if they are made out of card board.

The last I heard Lance and Cam were focusing on the bumpers really hard. Running a 2 man operation is tough with all they have going on. The FJ55 on coils, a couple other fabrication projects, standard repairs, and other customer drop-off's. Then the shop move right in the middle of this. They are not leaking any spy shots, as they want the completed design to be a surprise. Hell everyone but 07TEQ here is just in suspense, can you imagine how he is handling it.

 

[Yoda1]

It will be well worth it for him when it's all done . Hang in there !

 

[BMThiker]

Soon please! I "released" my bumperettes at Tellico last week. They are both hanging on, but it aint pretty.

 

[Yoda1]

Nice work there BMT . I like the red more and more each time i see it. But don't worry i'm not going to steal your colors. Did you post the trip on the fjforum ?

Thanks for the compliment, Yoda1. We have been holding out on posting photos and trip notes because we are trying to get a trip report submitted to Toyota Trails. Frustrating, I know.

Now back to IPOR...

BUMP for this thread. I know IPOR has been involved with a shop move, which slowed things down dramatically. 07TEQ has displayed tons of patience waiting on his rig, but there has been no news/info from IPOR. Has anyone been by the shop that can say if any progress has been made?

 

[BMThiker]

?Bump? What's going on with IPOR and the FJC armor these days?

 

[green73]

They have been tested at Crozet Va. a few times this year. Holding up very well, and saved the sheetmetal quite a few times. Sorry I personally don't have any pix of the rig in action though. 07TEQ should, but he is on assignment right now. Here is a link to the 1st trail run on them, only days after delivery: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=139859

When I saw the pix of it in the shop during build-up, I too thought they are way too big, but in person they look just right, especially with the side tubing. They did squat the rig a bit, but probably less than an inch. He has a Rough Country lift currently.

I don't know if IPOR is planning on building any more. May be worth asking them directly.
