vengeful Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Would you like to see TJM Bullbars become available for the R50s again? Would you buy one if they were?

Pezzy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have one, and fully believe they should make another run... incase vengeful steals mine... or even if say god forbid something happened to mine... it cant be replaced... if I voted, do you figure it would be lame?

vengeful Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well..seeing as you already have one, you're not likely to purchase one in the near future, unless something happens. So yes, it would be lame. Just like it was lame of you to steal my bumper. But hey, if you hadn't I guess we wouldn't be petitioning now, right?

Pezzy Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Well, I was going to buy you one for christmas, and so you'll finally forgive me for stealing yours, but since you're gonna be that way - I've changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hey now. Even if you were going to buy me one for Xmas, I don't think it would do much good, since there arent any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR99.5Speed Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Already signed it; i'm Number Two! Unfortunately, I don't think they will do it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) If we get a bunch of signatures, I think they'll at least consider it. And having them consider it is a lot better than what's happening now. If they don't answer to the petition, I say we have everyone who signed it call them like 3x a day and harrass them until they give in! LOL.

DJ Dank Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 So you've notified them and made them aware of the petition? Whats been their response so far, if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 I called them and talked with their "Product Development" department. Probably just some random guy, and he said that at this point they have no immediate plans to produce more R50 bumpers, but, he also said that if we can get enough people on a list that they probably would, though he also said that he can't guarantee anything. And I told him that I was going to start up a petition and post it on the internet so everyone who wants one will be in one place. He didn't give me a number, but I'll bet if we get about 30-40 signatures, they'll make another run with enough begging. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herm Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Vengeful - another approach would be to find about 6 people who would pay for a bumper designed by a small fabricator. Dean Thayer dabbled with this idea a while ago with limited success - he was looking for a rear bumper. The right fab shop may be interested in developing a front and rear bumper for R50s. We all want a beefy rear bumper that will allow a swing-away spare and maybe a jerry can/hi-lift mount. Honestly, the TJM is an OK choice, but I have some criticisms of mine. Two issues: the way the side panel closest to the front tire is designed makes it vulnerable for the tire to grab it under flex, and then rip it off, and/or destroy the tire too. This isn't a concern with 31s, but will be as we find ways to run 33s or larger in the future. Another complaint is no tow points - I prefer the way ARB adds shackle points to their bumper. My 2 cents anyway.... m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Well...currently we have 13+ wanting TJMs...I'm sure that if we had a design for a bumper, we could get a fab shop to fabricate it. That is, of course, if the TJM approach doesn't work. In response to your criticisms, there will be minor issues with almost any product. Notching can be perfect, otherwise price would be outrageous. But, I do agree about the tow points, but a small triangle off 1/4" can be easily milled and welded to the bumper. As for the wings, that is a problem with all TJM bumpers, not just the Pathy specific ones. They can be trimmmed back, and/or reinforced to prevent problems. But again, that's more time and money invested into the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Another complaint is no tow points - I prefer the way ARB adds shackle points to their bumper. I'll second (third) that... I was suprised it didnt, as there is tow points on the TJM for the Xterra... Although they say for that (and the ARB, too) you're not "supposed" to tow/recover from them. But I guess thats how they cover their a$$ incase someone has problems, smit happens, and tries to sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is because they are right by where the bracket meets the frame. I do agree though, tow points for the Pathy would be nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
