dezm Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hey all, don't know if this has been posted on here yet. Thought it may interest some of you. A local Vancouver (BC) company that makes beautiful front and rear bumpers has just started selling a weld together front bumper kit for the R50. I've seen their work in person on a number of other vehicles and can vouch for their quality and excellent design. Here's a link: https://www.coastaloffroad.com/product-page/r50-nissan-pathfinder-high-clearance-front-bumper-kit Also side note, anybody know who's truck that is in the pics? It's a beaut! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjotrainbrain Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 They make a fantastic bumper for 4th gen 4Runners, this is awesome! The R50 community suddenly went from 1 bumper option to several, cool beans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax99 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Damn already have a bumper but love this... super low profile.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Last winter he was going to use my truck as his template. Didn’t happen as my engine suffered a power valve failure. His name is Brandon & he was very pleasant when we were trying to work things out. He makes pretty hardy looking 4Runner bumpers. I like the aesthetics of these but would like to see how it mounts to the unibody. I think this gives us 4 options now but I’m waiting on hawairish @ TownDawgR50’s collaboration which should be coming out soon.Bumper List:*ARB Sahara*@hawairish /@TownDawgR50 *Coastal Offroad*Dustin Perreault*WAM (former Tactical Armor Group aka TAG aka Kennesaw Mountain Accessories aka KMA aka Blue Lake Offroad) Previous iterations of this company have a terrible rep but supposedly it’s designs were bought out & it’s under new management. It would be very interesting to have someone buy one & report back if all the quality control problems are fixed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax99 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 With a powerhouse of those two working together and the amount of knowledge they both have, I’m sure they’ll r&d something in the best of both worlds between quality and design. Eager to see what they have in the works too!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakzackzachary Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 If Hawairish and TownDawgR50 are building a kit in the Seattle area I'd be down to check that out before anything. Always fun to support locally built stuff. Nice to have options too though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFletcher Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Update: I was checking their website today and I was pleased to notice that they have added an option for 00-04 Post Facelift R50. Nice to know they are now available for the newer models in case anyone was interested. This is probably my favorite bumper I have seen for the Pathy due to its pricing and overall look. When the money is there I will probably grab this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slorgit Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Nice! Here is to hoping they have a boxing day sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet, I would also keep your eyes peeled for a bumper from @hawairish and @TowndawgR50 thats supposed to be coming soon. They're planning on releasing a bunch of R50 specific products very shortly. More deets here: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, bumpers from us won't become a reality as soon as we'd like (surely not within the timeframe you're looking), but they are on the long term road map. The Coastal bumper appears to be a great alternative, so we won't hold a grudge if you do go that direction, lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started following you and will be looking forward to new products you will be releasing in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I’m tempted to order a rear bumper for my wd21 from Wam... Will see how it goes and let you know haha.I have run across a couple of their products on US trucks locally & have inquired of the owners when they bought it, how was the experience & how was the fit. So far, a couple good reports - no negative. Definitely keep everybody posted. There’s been alot of talk about rears but the only recent ones I can recall are[mention=38818]MicahFelker[/mention] &[mention=36148]hawairish[/mention] custom jobs. If[mention=36148]hawairish[/mention] put a beveled corner on his & offered it, I think it would be a tough product to beat! However, I would imagine that’s a long way off, if ever, given the other projects they have underway & the low hanging fruit yet to be grabbed-so I wouldn’t hold my breath. I also think the very low price, and relative ease, of retrofitting the swingate makes it a low demand item (“ease” of course said by someone who has watched[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] do it twice (plus his own) & with at least 2 still to go). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
