Bumpers?
« on: December 07, 2003, 05:14:56 PM »
I was on rro site and i ve been seeing these caption saying that they are coming out with new skid plates and pr-runner bumpers. Has anyone heard any news on when they are coming. Or has anyone heard about the new cal-mini mag that is due out? or is that just rumor

I've dealt with Rocky Road a lot and had very good luck with them.  I got my lift kit, my locker, my shocks, my steering damper, my transfer case re-gear, and a few other assorted items from them, and I'm happy with their prices/quality/service/delivery.  The one issue I did have with a part from them, they fixed promptly and properly (tapered hole in my OTT steering was drilled from the wrong side, they replaced it with a new piece immediately). I run a Samurai, so I don't know how they would be for other vehicles.  

I'd do business with them again.

Hi folks,

We have a Tracker in house for development now.   Sliders and Front bumper will be the first products.  A rear bumper will follow later.  

I hate to speculate on a time frame since the development has not started yet.  It will get underway after xmas though.

I would definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts on what you are looking for in a front bumper.

On the east coast there are not many tank gaurds on the samurais left do to the salt including mine. Atleast til I called Shrockworks. I would deffinetly wait all you tracker guys to see what he develops. I know I would give any of his products a try.

also with the rear bumper if it had a high lift jack mount  would be great cause there is not alot of room inside a Kick. Also clevis mount for recovery in the rare case that a Sidekick get stuck or a reciver so you cout mount one of those clevis reciver things. And also maybe a jerry can holder thing to hold extra gas. I know you can get a roof rack but that causes drag to a certain dergree. These are just some ideas that would be nice, but maybe not nessecary.  
I like the looks of that skid plating on that prerunner bumper that Zukipiolt has, full skidplating like more of a belly pan would be cool too. Also if it would all bolt on more people would be interested I think. These are just the ideals of a young zuki enthusiest, not a engineer so take as is. If some one could make everything full bolton and dumb-butt proof they would be a rich rich man ;D

I think a prerunner style bumper would be a nice addition too. With a winch plate of coarse. ;) Im not talking about some showy thing either. Full Function.
