Pelfreybilt rear bumper, resurrection?

After reading that huge PF thread on their demise, I thought I'd offer some hope for those of us still wanting that rear bumper:

1. Small hope: there may be an auction sale of their equipment, INVENTORY, etc since they are in bankruptcy. Some of you may want to attend such a sale to bid on completed bumpers or whatever.

Since there are many auction houses out there, I would periodically do a search to see if anything pops up.

Long shot but who knows...

2. Bigger hope: I believe there were afew bumpers that shipped. Perhaps one of those buyers might consider bringing their bumper to a real fab shop to have it copied for production.

Not so long a shot. I would definitely do this if I had the bumper.

Pelfrey

Read the thread and feel for those who lost money. I believe on TW there is a thread that shows who actually made the bumpers for Pelfrey. Might be another avenue for those injured parties. Best of luck

That's right! I do recall now reading that post. PF just did the welding, and the design of course.

That place probably had the file that they used to laser cut the steel so they might be able to change somethings and sell

I bought the aluminum front bumper from them last year.

A month after I ordered and paid, they emailed me saying they needed an extra $300ish for shipping. I told them their website had shipping included. They said it did not, so I sent them a screenshot of a mock order and it had $0 for shipping. They said it was an error and a couple of days later it was fixed. I redid a mock order and it listed shipping as $200 and I asked them why they were requesting $300. They told me that there was still an error. I threatened to cancel order, but they would honor the $200 price. I reluctantly agreed.

A couple weeks later I received the bumper. Installed it that night.

Quality and fitment was horrible. It is too far to the passenger side. Diver side is touching headlight housing, and you can stick your hand in the passenger side on between bumper and headlight housing. First they told me that their specs fluctuate .25", but this error is almost 2 inches. The bumper is slightly adjustable up and down, but no real side to side movement. So then they said the vehicle must have been in an accident. It was a 2017 with 5000 miles on it. Also, light bar cover (to fill hole on bumper if you don't have a light bar) had the brackets welded on terribly and would not fit, at all.

I complained more after that and they agreed to give me a $200 discount, which was never sent/received.

A couple months after having the bumper the "grill" part was rusted terribly. I know companies don't usually warranty powder coating, but I took this to get redone locally and the company doing it could not believe how horrible the powder coating was. There are a few spots on the bumper itself that o painted because it wasn't even coated.

Quality and fitment was horrible, they blamed the vehicle, and partial refund was never received.

Bumper looks terrible in person when you get within 20 feet and is embarrassing considering total cost was $2500

Good riddance to this company.

Wow that's a pretty crap job. Sucks for everyone who had to be punished for this company's lackluster integrity. It's insane to me that 2500 gets you those pictures above
