Red line's 80 front bumper prototype

[ThePookieBear]

Hey, had you guys considered making DIY kits? I think those would sell like hotcakes as these look to be a good alternative to the ARB. Nice work.

#3 prototype

Much better on the tube. My only comment would be if there is any way to tuck the lower part up more?

#3 looks great to me

couple more tries and it might end up looking like the ShortBus bumper

X2 on tucking it up, but it looks great so far.

Bars look a lot better. But one question, why do you have the recovery points pointing out at an angle?

I knew I shouldn't have been so hasty to buy the Shortbus. I really like the center hoop. Trim it up for better clearance and then start on a rear bumper!

When is the production run on #3?

wow, Slee has a point, as soon as I saw #3, I immediatley thought Shortbus bumper. I'm glad another bumper option is becoming available, but man does it look similar to Slee's.

IMHO the angle on the lower is too vertical, angling it back like the green line would be better. As it is when it touches an obstacle it will be like a wall, with some more angle (45 degrees?) it would allow the rig to slide up, that would also make the bumper stronger. Look at the two frame-bumper bolts, they are at an angle, nipping off the lover frame corners outside of those bolts would allow for much better angles.

The side wings hang down too far, bringing them up somewhat like the line in the second pic would make for better clearance and less bulky looks?

I like Tool's line on #3 and Nay's comment. More holes in the lower skid plating would be better/lighter as well as promote more air flow which never hurts.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but any chance you'll be doing a non-winch version of #3?

its easier not to run a winch in a winch bumper than to run a winch in a non winch bumper

looking good, how much could you trim up the bottom edge of the bumper, to give it a less bulky appearance, or curl it back and under for less hangups when backing. Looks good, just a hair bulky, but very nice.
