The forum got back up with all the info it had 4 days ago, but we lost some info put up since the forum was hacked.
I'm just glad it's back up again  ;D   ;D

you asked for comments, I gave you mine, I appoligize if I offended you. Just paint yours a different color and then it will surely be original.


Isn't that the winch thats represented by the blue and not the bumper.

And what dandy comments they were....   You didn't offend me.  You just showed yourself to be a rude ass with obvious bias for your home town Bakersfield team.

Anyway, the bumper bears no similarity to that other bumper and will speak for itself when it's done.  In the mean time, here are a couple different views:





EDIT - Yes the blue was a model of a Warn 9000 winch for fitment.  i removed it in the pics.

Makes me wish I waited to order mine, I was waiting to see what you came out with, but I had an itch to spend money. I'll definitly hold out for a rear bumper if you decide to make one ;)

Why not have one made locally? You would be surprised what kind of fabrication skills you can find in your hometown area ;)

That being said I would buy the Shrockworks one first ;D

i'm not even wanting one for me.  i just have never seen anyone build one but everyone always said they wanted them.  I'm looking into a cheap bender soon so i can learn how to bend hoop myself and maybey even sell a few off cheap. ;D  i might have one built before RRO does :o ;D ;D

I haven't ruled out a tube bumper.  This is just our traditional style and what would naturally come first.  If there is enough real demand for a tube/pre-runner  version, I'll make one.

Tube? did some one say tube bars? hehehe.
there are a lot of tube bars in Oz, esp for zooks. but anything in comps will have a tube bar of some sort, and probably a full exo cage too.

maybe have a look here if it works.

this is a simple and plain design tube bar. mady by overkill engineering here in OZ. the front bar is supposedly winch compatible, as its got a winch mounting plate on it, but i have to make proper mounting points for it on the chassis.
