MetalTech front bumper!

[LT]

yours looks like you stole it from a blind man walking it down the street........

Careful now... Chad is very proud of his Hi-lift jack handle being his tie rod sleeve. You don't want to crush his feelings he is very emotional you know.

It's true... I'm an emo kid at heart.

Has anyone gotten one of these from the small production run that was slated for early June? This is exactly what I'm looking for and would love to get some pics and thoughts on the production bumper.

Its either the metal tech or slee shortbus. still curious about the difference in weight and strength.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I know that there is a production style bumper sitting on MetalTech's 80... Mainly because I was the one who bolted it on last! I will send a message to Mark and have him respond to the time line...

[CreeperSleeper]

I was just messin with ya... I knew what you ment.

 

[2everest]

I know ... I was too ...

I looked at the metaltech site (very cool by the way) But there no bumpers posted on there. I am another that really likes this style bumper! I just now saw the thread.

Waiting for updates! Take Care ...

I just sent an email to MT about this bumper. Will post any info I find here.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I will also give them a call today!

I am sorry for the delay on this bumper. It is going into CAD this week and should have some beta parts back next week sometime. There will be some design revisions. One big one is the main wing will be one piece and we will have different size stingers or no stinger at all for options. These bumpers will come raw, not powder coated since it is designed to take a lot of abuse. Here are some photos of our 80 at Rubicon testing the new bumper.

I hope it look similar to the one in the photos, great looking bumper IMO. If you need anyone to "beta" test anything for you, I would happily oblige

As usual, it looks like a well thought out product! I'm strongly considering this option.

 

[Tapage]

nice LT .. can you offer one powder coated, and I would like the smaller stinger .. did you have a price idea ?

It will look the same but the main portion will be one complete piece and not three like the prototype. The stinger will weld on top of the main tube.

I can certainly have it powder coated, we are going for the raw wheeler look to keep costs down. We are shooting for a $800 price with the stinger, probably $750 or less w/o the stinger. I'll have some solid numbers once I know how much laser cutting and forming is.

nice bumper!! although i'm getting teased by the rear bumper/wing combo. got a shot of that? production too maybe?

i'd consider the non stingered one down the road...

 

[2everest]

$750 or less, no stinger, no powter coat ... MINE!

Sweet!!!!!!

 

[millatruse]

looks great, nice and rugged! The price dosent hurt it either!
