Thanks man! I like seeing more threads on here where people build stuff from scratch. Thats half the fun with these trucks, building them up!
Yeah, i usually build link suspensions, this detailed metal work is a little new for me. Tube bumpers are cake compared to plate! I can throw out links to my builds if anyone is interested? Ive built a truck every year since 1999... This is my first cruiser. I might do a fj40 next? The last two were tacomas, no rust, no oil or dirt to clean up... The canvas was spotless...

recovery points and winch area reinforcement is next...were takin a lunch break...
Very nice, like the style, flows well with the body and gives a tough look to the rig, I don't think you'll be teased at work anymore. Few things I pondered while reading this thread....
Was this a "build as you go" operation, or was it CAD'd/designed in it's totality from scratch?
If it was designed in it's totality from scratch, does the program your friend uses calculate the different pieces/cuts to make the unit as a whole, or was that you guys pulling numbers off the other parts and telling the machine what to cut?
Could your friend offer it as a kit, so I could weld the parts myself, but save on shipping and manufacturing costs? IDK, I just like stuff in a kit, makes me feel like I did something besides enter credit card info.
Besides that, can't wait to see it done and finished....

x2 on a kit form if possible 
Would love to crank out the welder on a job like this! Have made my own rear bar and it took me ages (try close to 6months) working on it a couple hours every weekend.
Kit form would cut this down to about a month.

I emailed Jeremy and asked the same thing to save on shipping and he said it has to be welded in a jig or else it will warp.

Kit form isnt gonna happen, first three are built on my truck after that its jigged. We just got a pg&e type job that required our welder to file his AWS certs with the county. U want it welded here! He is that good and certified.
Got any pics of the welds up close? Is it all MIG welded? I just asked for it in a kit to help with shipping all the way over here.

bumpers done, waiting for a fairlead and paint to dry...pics in a bit...im loving it! really transformed my truck from soccer mom station wagon grocery getter
the slider design is equally unique, low profile and next on the tablefor the 80 series binksfab project(s)

Very Nice. How did the bracing for the winch mount turn out?

Paul(Booger Weldz) mentioned this site has a membership fee but I am not the most internet savvy person. I will gladly became a member of this site if need be. Moderators please direct me and hopefully I am not out of line giving the lowdown on these bumpers.
I am awaiting a shipment of plate to build a couple of these for stock. This bumper came out great but there will be a few unnoticable changes I am going to make that will ease in production. I feel we got quite a buzz about this and I am offering it as our first advertised product. I know we received questions from quite a few people about a DIY kit but it isnt going to happen these bumpers simply need to be built in a fixture to be true. That being said this piece will be offered at an introductory price of $850.00. Thats the bumper in raw steel with clevis mounts and the fairlead mount. Give us a call 209-402-6433, pm me or email our salesguy Jeremy@binksfab.com if you have any questions. We are here to serve you and hope to have many of you guys as satisfied customers!
