We are not that far along quite yet. Although with the WIY (weld-it-yourself) bumpers like this one, shipping is easier because you can flat-pack and they don’t need to get shipped on a pallet. We are pre-bending as many parts as possible so the actual welding part is very minimal on the customer’s end.

Sounds like this bumper will need to be fabricated. Any chance the bumper can be pre welded? (Similar to the ARB bumpers)?
See my notes above about shipping. Pre-welding creates massive lead times and a huge price tag for shipping and there are decent welders all over the globe. Obviously this is our business proposition, and not everyone else’s. We think by sourcing your own welding, the product can be shipped drastically cheaper and you will have the bumper in a quicker timeframe than 90% of the competition out there (just research the lead times of all the popular bumper makers). Not to mention, our design will be WAY lighter (less than half) what an ARB weighs for our gutless old Toyota’s to haul around ;)

1” body lift is accommodated in the original design (the same bumper works for no body lift and a 1”). Thanks for your interest!

I disagree with this statement. Obviously price will depend on your area but I bet you will be able to have our bumper welded together by a professional for ~200 (or less). Actual weld time on these will be minimal, with way less welds than current WIY bumpers.

Keep the comments rolling!
