Yeah yeah... I keep buying too many mini-taco parts, it's seriously cutting into the bumper fund.
But in this case, sales tax>shipping. Even if MAF sold Slee's for his same price, it'd be cheaper, albeit only by 20 or 30 bucks. And we just passed a mess of new taxes too.. like another .3% so we can have trains go from Denver to Boulder, even though the buses are never full. crap sorry total digression. rear bumper rear bumper rear bumper rear bumper ok I'm back.
Sheesh, dont throw a rock at Christo, we need him in the cruiser community! Plus, he's already had a screwdriver penetrate his frontal lobe and go all the way through his hypothalamus!!! Let's just buy the guy's stuff and skip the stoning!
Even though I have the ARB for the front bumper, and even though I typically like to have matching bumpers ( I know, I know, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, yes, it sucks ), I had already decided to do the Slee before I had heard here about the ARB rear bumper, even though the ARB is probably super slick, I'd always rather support someone like slee, all things equal. JMHO...
ANyone know if the tire will be centered or off-centered to one side on the ARB for the 80? Will a hitch be integrated as well. Oh and you can still support Christo by buying the ARB from him!
Anybody come across 80 series pic of the rear bumper yet? Drexx posted a few nice pics for the 100 series. I wonder if the 80 will look possibly the same? It looks pretty good. Price tag on it will be $$$.
They didn't have any info on an 80 series rear bumper that I saw in their SEMA booth this year (where the above Jeep pictures were taken). Might still be just in proto stages.....
Word is that the 100 series one will go intro production in Feb, so they might be available in March/April 2005. That means the 80 series one is going to be a long time away.
Has anyone heard the latest on the when the newest ARB rear bumper w/tire carrier will be released for the 80 series? Chime in if you have!
I’ve got a lot of months to save up for one, and it would be real nice to have one. Was wondering about a few things though:
What price range do you guys think it would come in at?
Also, do you think a jerry can will be an option?
Finally, do you think it will be available before the end of the year?
The price range will probably be that of slee's. Probably between 1700 and 2000 im thinking. As for a Jerry can i don't know if they would have that or not. And it will probably not be out till next fall since they are making other stuff to come out in the spring!
