Rhino 4x4 bumper group buy is happening

[TCM]

Bought mine direct from Argentina. Shipped / powdercoated no winch was ~ $2,200 and took about 6 weeks from initial order to delivery. Super easy to deal with.

Do you have a specific contact you worked with at Rhino in Argentina. I would like to order a bumper for my 2021 Cruiser.

Thanks for the info Fos. Do they powder coat any color or just black? do you happen to have any contact info? I went on the site but i wasn't navigating it that well.

that looks awesome. I hope mine winds up looking that good. you changed headlights ? is it chrome now or black? what di you do with the old grill and lights? for sale?

 

[fos373]

Headlights are the same.

Changed the grille from stock chrome to ebay special gloss black.
Changed the lightbar from the rectangle to the double ARB Solis' - felt the latter was a better & more traditional look. And FWIW, the Solis pair (driving / spot) are BRIGHT......

Current setup is the 1st pic on the lift.

Beautiful setup. What is the skid, if I may ask? Looks to be attached to bumper?

The silver skid / bash plate is part of the rhino bumper setup.

I’ll get a pic of it and post it tomorrwo

Such a stout and clean look. If anyone can arrange a buy from the Argentinian manufacturer count me in, too. Otherwise I'll be on the hunt for one. Thanks.

It looks like prefacelift version does not line up with fenders very well - sticks out more?

Looks great! Any interference with the radar cruise and those lights?

Likely a bit of a pipe dream in this scenario. As the manufacturer their ops are structured to sell wholesale to the distributor. They are probs bound by customs disclosures and authorized dealer contracts. Lots of fair trade agreement ramifications, too.

There's a host of other reasons why they wouldn't be able to complete an international order of the size we're talking about. You may get lucky with a one-off like the previous owner in this thread.

However, if I'm missing something (and I usually am), you'd gauge interest, get commitments, submit deposit/payment, arrange shipping (likely to one designated address), confirm order/quality, and distribute. Major pita. Best case is there's a certified/registered vendor on here who has the logistical capability to make it happen.

This was already done successfully, probably one of the easiest purchases I've ever made thanks to @jfrench and @gzahnd. I believe there were about 15 of us...

I suggest actually reading the thread

My bad. Caught up in my own business. Apologies.

No worries, I wasn't trying to be nasty. Just pointing out that those guys were great and able to pull it off. There are also a lot of answers to your potential logistics questions in the thread.

Go for it!
