laxman0324 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 that's not a bad idea for a rear bumper w/tire carrier, but i suspect you were referring to the front bumper. i already got the ARB and am more than happy with it so i can't justify the extra cost/time of a Shrockworks, no matter how badass they are. but i'm sure if enough people express interest in R50 front bumpers, and they decide to include the R50 in their lineup, i'd be glad to lend them my Pathy for prototype fitment. I think he was suggesting you lend it to them so they can make one, not so u can buy one...I think your ARB looks completely badass ass well, enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I've been in talks with Jim for three years, and they WANT to build stuff for the R50, they just don't have a vehicle to work from. Front Bumpers Rear Bumpers Skidplates Sliders You name it. Hell I'd GIVE him my 99 if it were straight, but it's not, so it won't do anybody any good.

tekazgtr1984 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Should Runnerman (Marcel) get back into the Pathfinder armour business, I'll definitely put up my rig as a template donor. I have zero intention of ordering from the US what with shipping, customs and the *ugh* exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 i thought the CDN dollar was worth more than the US dollar? Nope, not at this moment in time. My bank's current exchange is .7935. Therefore: 1.00USD would cost 1.2817CAD. That's none too good considering a year ago we were pretty much par 1:1. Shipping bumpers would also be astronomically expensive...

vengeful Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well, since Marcel is very close to you, I'm sure you can arrange something with him. He's right up the road in Selkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLL Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 let me ask something. how can i find photos of ARB or TJM like bumper installation photos? Especially the brackets and fixing pieces for sides of bumpers. Do you have any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the brackets and fixing pieces for sides of bumpers. Do you have any idea? I've been trying to find these for the better part of my duration owning a R50. Best thing to do would be ask someone who owns the TJM, i.e. Pezzy, vengeful, etc. for installation pics if they've got 'em. Good luck to you.

tekazgtr1984 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Petition to get TJM to make more of these... Probably just being too hopeful but meh. http://www.petitiononline.com/tjmt15/ Edited February 22, 2009 by tekazgtr1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Unfortunately it is too hopeful. Dean, and AC Parts were in contact with TJM, and tried to get enough buyers together for them to make another run. I dont think we ever got enough people willing to fork up the dough, and we later found that TJM has lost the dies (or plans??) for this bumper, and thus, cannot make more.

What a bunch of ratbag SOB's... If someone were to measure out his/her TJM's dimensions for some monetary compensation, would that be a solution to making up a blueprint to custom build a similar bumper?

dududuckling Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I ordered my R50 sahara bull bar from ARB back in late Dec. 2008. I'm living in Canada, so the local 4wd shop had to place an order to the supplier in new york, who will receive the product from ARB. I was told there was a backorder on the item... Its late Feb. now and am still waiting for the item... its so hard to purchase one even though I already placed my down payment way in advanced... I think they should stop posting the pathfinder bullbar as one of their products on the website if they aren't making anymore for the R50 or if they require two or more people to request for the item before they get back to work... or at the very least, they can write a note "this item may take two months or so before it can be delivered to you" Edited February 27, 2009 by dududuckling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
