vengeful Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 If you're looking for a nice rear bumper for your WD21....check out these guys. This is the guy I was going to have make a bumper for my truck. Extremely nice guy, very very reputable. I personally checked out his shop and his work, and it is TOP NOTCH. I only decided against going with him because I changed my mind on what I was looking for in a bumper, and decided to make it myself. Link to eBay auction. Oh, the best part....the price....only $385 Buy it Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 All I gotta say is that I'd much rather have the shackle mounts welded than bolted like that. They're gonna take some serious stress pulling people out and two bolts probably won't cut the mustard safety-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailChaser Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 :o you never got it?? daaaaaamn. and they made it special for you too... That is a nice bumper, but it's the same that they sell for jeeps. Did they just change up the mounting brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Besides that, how do you sell $50 worth of steel for $385? Jeez, that's a high hourly welding rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Design work, fixturing, prep work, painting/powercoating, warranty, etc ?? Thats why I don't try to make too many things for the trucks. If you make 10 or 50, the 50 will be much cheaper (20-50% depending). They are trying to make some $ too, no shame in that. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 prep work, painting/powercoating Read the entire article, you gotta prep and paint it yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oops... ok, scratch the paint part but prep work still stands. You have to cut all the steel prior to welding, not to mention clean it up... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_C Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Nice...and don't forget, it's free shipping too if you use the Buy it Now...that's a good deal as well. Looks good, but I agree that you need to have those D-Ring mounts welded...they won't last being bolted on...maybe for a couple of tugs..but that's about it....otherwise, good find! It's a good alternative to what else is out there, and it ain't much that's out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 I think the intention is to use the receiver for recovery..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
