Spotted 200 Series - What rear swingout bumper is this?

[adventr]

Spotted this guy from Colorado on my way home from work yesterday. This pic was taken in eastern Oklahoma.

Anyone know of this cruiser?

I'm curious as to what rear bumper is on it. Doesn't look to be an ARB or Kaymar.

Gave him a thumbs up when I went past. If you're on here, just wanted to say that's a sweet cruiser. And if you happen to be exploring anywhere in Arkansas (where I live) I'd be glad to show you around/buy ya a beer.

That looks like Slee's prototype bumper...(aka "unobtanium").

The rest of us have to settle for ARB or Kaymar until demand is high enough.

You guessed it!


I can confirm by license plate numbers that the rig I saw is the same one pictured in this thread:

Yup...this was Slee's project vehicle for prototyping that bumper. I talked to them at the Overland Expo about it but this guy is not on the forums (too bad).

He's too busy actually using his truck to be on the forums.

It's the real deal truck. Must be back from South Africa. Slee makes a sweet front bumper for the 100 but I'm caught by surprise they are prototyping bumpers for the 200 series. Appears to have more rear window visibility with spare tire location.

That bumper was a one off that we built for the customer when we did the truck. It was in 2008 and there were no 200 bumpers on the market at the time. Customer had a trip coming up and we had to get the tire and gas cans on the back. So we did a one-off.

This looks like the 200-Series that was profiled in the last Overland Journal?

Yes it is
