The vertical tubes are killing me... hopefully they would be un breakable, otherwise they woud be perfect demo tools. I'm sure they're strong, though...

 

As far as the right spare vs. left tire mounts, it occurred to me that if the spare was relocated out of the way on the bumper to the left (driver's side) with a solid bumper mount, then the stock spare mounts on the passenger side body could be re-purposed. They're obviously strong enough to carry a spare. What about being the perfect HiLift mounting point, and/or with other gear, even a ladder ala Rover Discovery's, up to a cargo/basket rack.

 

Its just my 2 cents, please give me a discount if you take it and run. ;)

Does anyone know any more about this vehicle... I love it!

 

It belongs to someone from Peru if I'm not mistaken.

I got the pictures some time ago, don’t remember where. I really like the bumper and even have an image of the building plans….

That's JPHI's truck from Chile. He had an Isuzu 3.2L V6 put in it along with a SAS and the custom bumpers. Very nice rig. Before that he had a turbo 4-cylinder. He sold it in 2007 and now sports a Patrol GU, the bastid.

If I looked hard enough, I could come up with a pic of the dimensions (blueprint) of that front bumper. I have it somewhere on one of my hard drives.

I agree...

 

So, whats the current status with the bumpers/new plans ? Personally, I have no problem with corner uptubes. Fill them with sand/cement and they will be damn near crumple proof!! I have a new truck that needs good bumpers, whats the time line and price? Does he need a model truck for the first set? How do these mount if you have no body lift VS 3" body lift? Front bumper with a winch mount? Rear bumper available with class 3 receiver tube? I personally prefer to keep the stock spare tire mount...

 

Please tell the man that people are interested and waiting.

 

(I know you are busy Slick) :hugs:

the rear bumpers will be around $700- $800 fronts probably about the same. steel prices are SKY HIGH so if we can get 6 or 7 bumpers ordered at once, it'll keep the prices down.

he is still working on some new designs, and as soon as I know, you all will know. as for the posts, they are VERY strong, there is a sleeve and a bolt that go through them, and they're welded as well. they are meant NOT to crumble/break/snap or bend when hit........ HARD. ;)

 

as for rear fitment with a hitch, it's possible, or you can get the bumper with an integrated receiver. time line was supposed to be Johnson Valley.... but it doesn't look (financially) like i can go..... but it will be before the end of the year.

 

yes, he may need mzextreme to toodle over to him for some fitments/checks as the JY he was trying to buy a pathy from never got back to him.

as for fitment, modified and reinforced stock brackets, and a slider going down to the frame (where stock hooks bolt in).. it will be designed for stock trucks, with modified brackets when you want to do a BL on them. :D

it will probably open the same way as jeeps.... less mods for him to make..... and since it's not "attached" like a factory carrier.... direction won't matter so much :)
