It is a one off that the selfish so and so is taunting us with.
In order to get one you have to send Christo TWO smashed 80's and a blank check........He will notify you by registered mail when it is ready.......After your check clears of course.

I was refering to the bumper.
It will not fit a regular 80 unless you chop the s**t out of the front of the frame...........
Think of it as a kit.......2 80's plus a cool bumper = FSLEEJ80

So far as we know it is NOT going into production :'(. Apparently Christo thinks that because you have to chop the frame to fit it, there will be a greatly reduced market for it. I don't know. That might not even be his reason. Sure is a GREAT looking and probably a GREAT performing bumper.
Ok from the horses mouth The bumper will not work on a regular 80 series. That truck has a 2" body lift, which allowed us to move the bumper up and stick the winch back. Also the winch is only 8k lbs. The frame is not chopped that much. We only cut the front at a 45 degree angle.
Also, if you look at the wings, you will see they are very short, since the fenders were cut to the top of the original flares. So they would be way to short for a regular truck.

I guess never say never. Well, we finally did put it into production and has been our best selling bumper by far.
dig deep buddy, go for it!
they are the best looking bumper by far- blows the ARB away in my opinion-
I bumped this thread up because Slee rocks.
