Hello guys! As most of us, I'd love to have a "plate" style front bumper...but just haven't been able to afford one. Then the other day, while surfing the net...I came across Northwest Trail Innovations. They have a front weld together bumper, which I got kind of excited about...with a base price of $360!!! So, I'm trying to get some background information on them...like what kinda of quality is the bumper?? Anybody every delt with the company?? Any other info??

I'm not worried about the welding aspect. I have a good buddy that welds on the oil pipe lines...another words, it will cost me a case of beer..lol!!

Thanks for any input. If anyone has one, I'd appreciate if you'd post a picture of your rig...thanks?

Here's a link to their web site...

1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner Weld Together Winch Bumper Kit

man, I was starting to put some money away for the new addicted bumper, I'm interested to see the feedback on this... maybe I'll be heading a different route. I need to get rid of the jeep bumper bad. the welds are so shitty if I were to hit anything I'd be screwed

Somebody on here has one...just can't remember who it is.

I believe there is one of these for sale in the classifieds right now....

I also recently saw this. I did some searches on here, and I have only found one person that seems to have one. Supposedly the guy that makes them is pretty legit. I am considering buying one, it is much more cost effective than an ARB bumper (which I have been looking for in the classifieds/ Craigslist for over 2 years and no luck)

So how much welding /assembly is needed?

I've got one, still in pieces...

The guy that runs it is a one man show, and very friendly, I've met up with him a few times, also bought my front gearset from him.

Looks like I just found my new bumper. I've been looking for a kit for, I lost track of the time. Outdoor Logic had a kit at one point, and now you can't even get answer back from them.

I wonder how much shipping is.. lol. Proably a easy $450+ bumper.

$123 to Missouri.

Nice looking bumper I like the option

Awesome, that's good to hear he's a good guy. Couple of questions...

- How long did it take to get your bumper kit after you ordered it?

- If you don't mind me asking...why haven't you welded your bumper up?

- Even though you haven't put yours together...does it appear to be very difficult to build?

- Last...does it appear to be of good quality?

Thanks a lot for all your input and help! Hey, since you kind of know him...maybe you could call him up and have him enjoy our forum! Then maybe we could get a group buy put together at a discount?!

This would be an awesome replacement for my "temporary" Addicted tube bumper! Good looking too

Here is a pic from that classified ad;

I like it, from the one picture that is on the website. There should definitely be more photos from different angles, as well as some detail on the method of attachment to the frame rails. It's very interesting, wish there were a bit more info available on it.
