Northwest Trail Innovations Winch Bumper Group Buy!

[djskorch]

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.

That's Pretty. I'd be down.

As of right now, I am gauging interest. I will probably let it run for a week or 2 and then if there is enough interest, I will pm everyone who is interested and set up the actual group guy. If anyone has any questions, let me know and I will get the answers as quick as possible.

Thanks

Wow I had been looking for one of these kits, but then went with 4xInnovations instead because I wasn't sure on my welding prowess and he was right in town lol. After CBI discontinued theirs I didn't think there was another option. Oh well

I'll throw my name in the mix. No guarantees due to SAW rebuild but if enough sign up, it'd be dumb not to jump in.

I'm in the market, only thing is, I've literally seen one picture of this bumper assembled....

I am working on getting some additional pictures of all generations. I will post as soon as I have some.

Thanks, that'd be great, could sway my decision from the new addicted, especially with the price point

I agree we would need a lot more pictures. It would be great to see pictures of the mounting points, how he handles the mounting differences for 96-98 and 99-02. Also typical shipping rates throughout the country, how the bumper mounts up to no flares, SR5 flares and Limited/Sport flares.

Thanks for that. That shows a couple decent pics of no flares vs. limited flares and a couple more angles. I will see what other pictures he sends me.

No problem. I really like the open top design of the tacoma bumper, I wonder if it could be adapted to the 4runner.

 

[JohnBill53]

I really like the open top taco one

Keep the questions coming and I will probably call him tonight. I have just been texting him this morning but it seems like I have quite a few things to ask him. haha. I doubt he is going to expect this kind of a response. Got a handful of 4th gen guys interested as well. Who knows, maybe we can get 20 orders total and grab em for $300 even. That would be nice.

 

[nc300d]

sign me up for an open top no gaurd.

will you ask him if makes the open top taco ones for our 4runners please?

Ok answers to some questions.

1. Different mounting points on 96-98 & 99-02. Neither he or I was aware that there is any difference in the mounts. He said he has sold this to quite a few people through the whole range over the last year without any issues or people saying anything. Could you please clarify what the difference is exactly so I can let him know and see what his answer is.

2. Fender flares. He says the bumper is a nearly flush with the limited flares but does stick out slightly with no flares or the sr5 flares. He probably made the original design based off a limited and simply didnt adjust specs to narrow it for sr5 or base models.

3. Shipping estimates. Obviously every quote is going to be different. He said he uses ups as well as Fastenal (which has to be picked up at the nearest store) but it is roughly $140 to the east coast, $120 for midwest and around $100 for west coast. Again, this is just an estimate.

4. Open top taco design. He said he does not make an open top specifically for the 4runner but has had customers order the tacoma bumper, then modify the front of the frame rails to mount it. He also said in order to strengthen the attachment of both designs, he includes a nut plate to add to the front frame rail as a mounting point. I have pictures that I will load tonight when I get home and am not on my work computer.

Possibly interested depending on overall amount of people, and maybe a possible further discount????

how much welding is involved putting this thing together?

Im going to assume its going to be very similar to my buddies cbi bumper kit he got. It is not for someone with limited experience welding but is not a huge undertaking.
