Hello everyone. I was talking to the owner of NWTI yesterday about some rock sliders and mentioned this board. He was very interested in offering a group buy for his weld together winch plate bumpers to help get his product out.

These are a CNC cut 10 ga plate bumper with 5/16" & 1/4" plate for the inner winch mount.

Currently, his weld together bumper runs $360 plus shipping.

He is willing to do $20 off per 5 ordered of any generation combined. He offers them for 1st, 2nd and 3rd gens currently and has the 4th gen just about ready to go.

He also offers them with an optional tube grill guard and recessed light mounts. These options run $45 and he is willing to do $5 off on any combination of orders between 5-10 and $10 off for each set of 5 after that.

So basically the prices would be something like
1-4 ordered = $360
5-9 ordered = $340
10-14 ordered - $320
.........

Here is a link to his website with more information about his products.

I am not affiliated with or represent his company and am not getting anything out of this. Just trying to help a small business get some ground in the industry.

If there is an interest in a group guy, I would be happy to organize or inform him to join the board as well.

It doesn't appear as though he makes a kit for the 4th gens.

As I said in the post, he told me his 4th gen kit in the works. He just hasnt posted it on his page yet.

need to see a finished product

And ask him to work on a rear bumper too! I'd be first in line if he could come out with something styled like the Crozfab bumper.

so much win in that bumper, one of the few rears i actually like

Matt when I land a job in DC let's learn to weld and make some bumpers

Sorry OP, didn't see that.

I'm down for that. Been a while since I've welded but I've actually been shopping craigslist for a decent welding unit lately. I need a bigger garage first though haha

Apologies for getting off topic. To the OP and Northwest - that's a pretty clean looking kit. Can't wait to see what the 4th Gen version looks like.

I am waiting on a respons on estimated time for the 4th gen along with seeing if I can get a few pictures of it. I will post as soon as I have any info.

The other bumpers look good. I would be interested if I could see some pics of the 4th gen stuff. Thanks!

Id be interested, but cant commit without pictures for 4th gens first

Definitely interested as well, but would need to see pics and more specs first.

What specs are you looking for and I will see what I can get.

The 2nd gen taco kit looks nice. I, too, would be interested pending completed 4th gen photos.

Coating, weight, warranty, and shipping charges.

Ok, answers to some questions.

1. How soon. He said he plans to have everything ready for the 4th gen within a month. He is finishing up designs for a t100 as well as a 91-97 lc right now and has the plans started for a 4th gen.

2. Pictures. He doesnt have any actual pics currently of the 4th gen as it is still in progress however he said the design and specs are very similar to the 05-11 taco bumper only a little sleeker. I have pics of this bumper I will load tonight.

3. Coating, weight, warranty, shipping. I believe these come bare steel but he does offer powdercoaring for an additional charge. I will check on prices. Weight will be somewhere around 80-90lbs. Again, it is not built so it will be exact when he is done but his other bumpers range from 75-100lbs. Since this is a weld yourself bumper, I dont think there will be any specific warranty per say however, Im sure that if for some reason there was an issue with a piece in the kit, he would make it right with you. Shipping will obviously vary based on your exact location but he said average cost for east coast is roughly $140, midwest is $120 and west coast is $100. Again, this is just a rough estimate.
