Only the prototype photos on their site and ig, not sure if those had all the “tweaks” they had in store for it.

Any updates?
Hey [MENTION=122121]Trialrun[/MENTION] I saw on their Instagram that a Salsa Red is leaving their shop and heading to CT... WITHOUT a Lo-Pro bumper. :sorry:
I'm making an educated guess that is yours. What's the deal on the bumper, got any insider info?
With or without the bumper that's a sharp looking rig, congrats!
Over a month and not a peep out of [MENTION=147044]AdventureMotors[/MENTION] #disappointed :cry2:

Hey gang.
Michael the owner here.
Yes it's way past what I said.
It's been a whole flipping slew of delays. Down plasma table for finishing finalized version. Then having to jump ship on ships producing it. Metal prices sky rocketing so bulk run pricing has been all over the board. I've been remodeling a house 50+ hours a week on top of running the shop with a baby coming in less than 2 months, so I'm on extra duty at home as well.
Needless to say it's been crazy but yes it's 100% still happening.
Files are finalized and V2 is DOPE.
It'll be end of summer more realistically.
I'm one of the biggest 10-13 fans. Heck we sell the majority of all the used ones on the market each month. No way is this project dying.... plus I'm in way too deep on the bankroll for this one!!!!
Sob stories aside, it's happening, it's still progressing, and it's still sweet!
Thanks

Michael,
Thanks for jumping in with an update. I can't speak for anyone else but that's really all I'm looking for is an occasional status on the project. I'm really excited about this bumper and can't wait to get in on it.
I know life happens and stuff gets in the way. Delays happen, tariffs happen, tools break, suppliers flake out, people quit, or get sick or get swamped with other projects. If you can, just try to take a minute or two to let us know what's up and I think you'll find most people are pretty understanding.
I'm glad it's progressing and you are happy with the design. From what I see of your builds, you have a good eye and I can't wait to see what you do with this bumper. As long as you don't go dark and keep tossing out little nuggets along the way, I think by the time you are ready you'll find you have more people wanting to buy than you expect. There's a real vacuum in the market for this product, even if it may be a smaller niche than a lot of vendors want to target.
Good luck with everything! House, new baby, keeping the shop going, keeping hold of your sanity
I look forward to seeing what's next.

I won't reiterate what Michael posted, but I got my rig late last night. So stoked!!!!! It's beautiful, the guys at [MENTION=147044]AdventureMotors[/MENTION] even threw in a free TRD Cold air intake for the minor delay. Top notch if you ask me. Now if I can only sneak out of work early to jump on a trail and stretch her legs :target:
Photos? Please and thank you

I don't think that he has the new bumper.
I could be wrong.
:shrug:
I could be wrong.

Yeah, that wasn't clear to me either, but I thought it might be worthwhile to ask just in case.

So I saw on Instagram that Adventure Motors posted a picture with two early 5th gens that had slimline style bumpers.... and they looked different from one another. So maybe they have figured out their 2.0 design.

I think that was the one and only one C4Fabrication made way back when. That or SSO... I forget.
But if it is V2, I'm pumped.

Hmm, it is on a silver trail. I really want this bumper but I also want to mount my winch. I am not good at waiting...

Pretty sure that's someone else's bumper. That same silver trail 4R is on their Instagram in May with that bumper.

STOCK! Next upgrade... not sure why I went with sliders over tires first, but I did. Tire upgrades coming soon. Any recommendations?
