[Bighead]

Looking good...

 

[ChuckB]

wow, now I'm really wish I hadn't sold my LX!!

 

[1loudLX]

So did christo, that's why he bought it back! Lol

 

[bamachem]

NICE! Looking great!

 

[sleeoffroad]

wait a second, is that........did.....that's not your old truck is it!?!?!? It's gotta be, Joes doesnt have a snorkel/rack and has clear corners. Where's that thing been hiding?

Well, let's say it's back home.

 

[sleeoffroad]

Do you have an ETA on when you would be shipping them.

Not sticking my neck out until I am certain.

Any ideas on costs for shipping by zones?

Like most bumpers $150 to a terminal.

Weight?

Will weigh it next time we get to a scale. But it is not light.

I am sure it was covered, but will there be a option for the 9006 fog lights to bolt in?

Sorry, no cutouts at this time. There are some great new LED technology coming down the pipe that will change lights on bumpers a lot.

Well, let's say it's back home.

how cute, you two have matching white LXs now.

 

[FullyLitLED]

I am speechless

Sweet, I always loved that rig...I need to make a trip to Golden! 30 minutes away!!!

 

[pint]

I am speechless

Cause you're gonna buy one, or what?

 

[FullyLitLED]

Cause you're gonna buy one, or what?

I really really really want to! Not in my budget for a good 2-3 months -____-

FWIW: I, along with a few others here, saw Slee's prototype 100 series front bumper at Moab. This is one heavy duty stout as hell front bumper. I was very, very impressed with the overall design and construction especially the side wings. It looks like Slee's side wings will take some serious abuse before wincing or deflecting! Nothing else out there built to this degree that I have seen.

Christo: Will the side wings protrude, for fender protecting purposes, a little past/outward of the fender?

 

[FullyLitLED]

is this bumper airbag compliant?

 

[1loudLX]

Spress, I've got part of one of the prototype bumpers welded to my control arm mounts! The look on Christos face when he came in and saw us cutting up one of them was unforgettable. I'm actually liking this one more then the ARB now....oh man that's it, I'll probably get one now.

Yeah, but mine is bigger than his

This one is even better built.

They do stick out a little. Once we get a final one on the truck I will take the detail shots.

is this bumper airbag compliant?

None of the aftermarket suppliers, other than TJM and ARB had airbag complaint bumpers. There are a number of post out there about that. I don't want to go into all the details, but search and you should find some good info in mud. Might be in the 80 section.

It is simply not in the scope for a small company to do the certification. If airbag compliance is one of your requirements, then you need to stick to ARB or TJM.

The side view is even better. Its really tucked up and in while still offering some body protection.

So should one remove the airbag sensors as part of this bumper's install or is there a place for the sensors in the design - though not certified?

 

[bamachem]

The sensors aren't in the OEM bumper, so why should there be sensor consideration in the design?

Not sure why you're worrying about the sensors and compatibility... Search is your friend.
