The previous bumper design was complicated and where built one at a time, each part cut, bent, coped and welded. It took about 6 hours from start to finish, per bumper. That drove the price up. Even though I have orders in with the previous builder I don't expert to see them again. Now our bumpers are CNC bent and shipped to us as individual parts. Our new builder just has to jig it and weld it. This drops our retail price down since I pay the welder less money per bumper. We got the first run of front bumper parts yesterday. We can now build 86-95 front bumpers. Our Fabricator is working on them right now. The new price will be up by tomorrow, we just need to sharping our pencil a little. It will be below $300 though.
what about us guys with mid to early 80 trucks/4runners
so whats the design on the cages. are they goin to be a single cab design or is there going to be an ex cab design also. I am super interested since i need a cage badly DRew
Cab cages are still in the works. We are making some changes to the main tube and the door jam tubes. We where not happy with the fit. Our plan is to tighten up the clearance between the tubing and the cab. We are also trying to get a little more leg room. I wear a size 13 and I had to twist my foot side ways to operate the clutch paddle, not real comfortable. We are trying to move the tube out and in towards to fire wall just a little more. Die size is playing a big factor in the samples.
I don't care for the new stinger, like the old one better.It looks to me like the main tube is sloping down, not parallel with the body. Is this just an optical illusion or are the mounts not exactly perpendicular to the main tube?Where are all the mounts to the frame at? It seems to me that the winch sits fairly high and if there aren't any high mounting points the bumper would want to bend down when winching.All in all, it is a nice looking bumper and being able to produce it quicker and less expensive are a big plus. Keep up the great work that you guys always do.
