I'd like to do an ARB like bumper up front but in Aluminum at some point in the future. Get a more robust bumper but at a lower weight.
 
Finally getting back around to this rack. I've had hell with local shops bending this product, so I made mods so I can bend it in-house.

That is a work of art.
 
The new "ZERK" front bumper!

Plans are to keep this bumper in stock and to build 5-10 at a time, powder and box. Custom mods are welcome, but lead times will be approx. 8-10 weeks.

This will hold up to a ComeUp Seal Gen 2- 12.5#, holes for round LEDs or up to 23" bar.

Have a great weekend guys!

I've had 25 emails on the "ZERK" bumper, so a few notes to get out there for everyone.


§ Bare metal will not be a stocking offering. When I make a run of these I will hold one back at that time or will accept a custom order with appropriate lead times.

§ Construction Main shell- 3/16", frame brackets 1/2" winch tray 1/4"

§ Bullbar 2" OD x .188"

§ Weight - approx. 110#

§ Winch area 27" W x 7.5" D x unlimited tall

§ I designed this for the ComeUp winches. The integrated winch will work as well. Check your desired winch measurements, this is your responsibility. I don't have time to hunt and search for your winch dimensions. No a 8274 version will not be made.

§ Why a soft shackle recovery point? Safer, allows for tighter approach angle, lighter and a soft shackle doesn't clang around and damage powder coating/paint.

§ No I will not make a full catcher's mask grill guard. Why?... because I hate them and it will destroy the look of this bumper, IMO. Plus it would have to ship freight and I'm not going there...

§ Black texture powder will be the color for stock bumpers. Custom colors can be ordered but only when a new batch is being made and sent to powder.

§ I can cut in wing lights (Baja Design Squadron Pro) on custom orders.

§ Yes, the wings have a webbed inner structure for added strength. Also the bottom lip is rolled/bent under 1.25" for extra strength.

§ There are 3 slotted holes for LED pods or a light bar.

§ I will have a pre-sell on the first batch on Nov. 16th.

§ Price-- I'll know more in a couple of weeks. Need time to make one from start to finish to get labor rates down, special shipping boxes, and exact powder pricing.

§ You must remove the factory bumper brackets and drill out frame rivets to install.

§ Yes, local pick up is available Mon- Friday 9am -2pm.

§ Yes, install will be available- 240.00 (no electrical included- that's on you)

§ Yes, grade 10.9 hardware will be included.

§ I will be making an aluminum version as well

§ I will be making a matching rear as well (in aluminum too- but no hitch receiver)

§ NO, NO, NO--- DIY KITS!!!

§ No, I will not make the fairlead opening for a WARN, Factor 55 or other. Not even on a custom basis.
 
All,

Another blow for us today.... Andrea's father passed last night and looks like TT may be closed for a bit. It will take quite a bit to settle his estate and the properties on the East Coast. Not sure what to say here as we have so much on our plate as it is.

Will update as I know more.
