Just to verify what I am looking at, I assume that is a model of half a front bumper?  Looks good if I am correct.

Will the pricing be similiar to your Sammi prices for the same item type?

All these plate 'kick bumpers look like Calmini replicas... which is fine, because it's a damn nice looking bumper, but personally I'd rather see something different offered, like a prerunner-style bumper or something :-/

I agree that the calmini "look" isn't what I really want ...

I want STRONG and lightweight ...

I will say I'm happy for ANY vendor to give me a choice over calrippi.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

i like it. but can't these bumpers be made from aluminum so that they are lighter ?

i would like a calmini made from aluminum if it could be made as strong, and lighter.

This bumper weighs 40 lbs, Shrock makes KILLER stuff. Got a set of his sliders on the wifes TJ.

that's not much weight, especially with the synthetic rope. I don't even notice the springs sagging.

I like the tow hook option.
I'll have a Kick w/o a winch bumper and would be interested in having another option for it.( already have an extra winch ;D)
And a good first-off price wouldn't hurt either ;) ;) ;)

I'd like adjustable mounting options for Body lifts.  

I will probally be running 2" on most of my Kicks but might go stock with no body lift on the buggy.

Jim, I like your sense for a bumper for the Tracker and Sidekicks. For the Vitara model, 3rd generation, I'd prefer a little less front metal. I prefer the look of a bumper similar to Safari Gard's bumper for the Discovery II. The top loop doesn't have to be that tall, but I like the look of the lower tube following the bumper contour, then flowing forward in the winch area. Then the bumper wraps the corners as well as the lower tube. Take a look and just skip over their pricing.....http://www.safarigard.com/

Only thing is adjustable installation. Ive noticed at Calmini that you need to buy braces for the bumper if you have a body lift.  I havent called them but it dosent seem like theres an alternitive for anything less than 3" bodylifts. A 2" homemade body lift may not be 2".  A universal fully adjustable mounting system would be nice..   Thanks.
