Soflobumpers 80 series rear bumpers

[mulchiro]

anyone have any experience with these bumpers? Can't really find anything on them...

I'm curious also. Just saw there post other day.

Says coming in July 2016, so I'd guess not. Nice looking work. I'd like to see the side view or 3/4 angled view of the 80 series side wings. Looks like good protection there on the 100 series bumper shown, so suspect it's similar on the 80 bumper.

Note that the 80 series one does have the mounting holes for a pintle hitch, which is a good thing.

Wow. That's pretty inexpensive for dual swing outs...

These look like the copy cat ARB style imports from China. You can find on eBay, as well.

Those look a lot like the 80 series bumpers for sale on Alibaba.

 

[greentruck]

You can get a container load of just about anything on Alibaba. Still, if spec-ed right by the importer, could be a decent bumper. If spec-ed cheap, well...

That was kind of my suspicion. They had said in another post that they weren't sure on shipping costs because they didn't know when it would be imported. It all feels a little weird to me so I was just curious if anyone else knew anything.

Oops I got a little excited. Thought title said "Soloflex".

Bummer.

Bummer.

Lmao! That was my first thought as well.

seems to block the tail light/turn signal on the one side. Other than that I like it too.

I saw this pop up on eBay yesterday. Interesting, but at that price point I can't help but be skeptical..

Pictures 1, 2, and 3 show a different bumper from pictures 4 and 5. Which one do you have?

 

[SkyMall]

Wow, that is hideous !

I agree.

I REALLY want to like this, because no matter how much I'd like to have something made here, sadly $2k+ for a rear is never going to be in the budget for my rig.

I think this is one of those things someone would have to see in person or if @Soflobumpers can post a walk around video rather that pics I saw on his intagram a pic from production which didn't look to bad. I agree in that somethings coming from China are horrible but on the other hand alot of things are great coming out of there. TJM and Ironman are both produced in China All of the armor coming to the US from ARB is made in Thailand. (ARB owns the actual plant though)

 

[ericbirk]

I would be very skeptical of you plan on actually using your rig. A poorly designed bumper has the potential to cause more damage than it will prevent...

 

[jtwopark]

It's already bad enough we have to use oem filters that are made In Thailand! Now we have off road bumpers from China? What's next rabies shots for the Easter bunny too?!
