Potential for new plate style bumper from Addicted Offroad

[K2Runner]

Yes, I love it too! I'm looking to buy one in the next year. Does this mean your going to take a shot at a rear plate bumper to match?

 

[War Sprout]

This is the bumper I've been waiting for. Not a fan of the tube style, but this one has me hooked.

Do it.

I'm sure I'd love it if I could see any picture.

Just seeing if we should try to market this bumper to the masses or not. They would work on 95.5-04 Tacomas and 96-02 4runners.

So, Would you order one of these?

So would lights be an option on this bad boy? If so would you recess them into the bumper some how? I do like your style though! Great work guys.

Turn signals, yes. But adding in light holes reduces strength and since everyone wants to run something different, I will lean away from that. But, we can add some light tabs to the stinger so you can hang some lights down in front of the grill if needed. That would be an option.

Cool. I will be watching this...

THATS SICK like it.

 

[NJCatalana]

A few things I like a lot:

weight
approach angle
open view winch
reinforcement tubes to the hoop

Lets get this into production with a group buy!

yes!! very much in favor of a group buy for the first test run of these

If it's going to be as reasonably priced as the tube bumpers I'd be in 100% it would take a month or two to save cause my internship pays like shit but I'm in that thing is sexy. I need to get rid of the jeep bumper anyway

 

[JohnBill53]

can we get some more pics? possibly on a 4runner? haha :hungry:

Here is the finished version of this with an 8000lb winch in it.

So, after reading through a ton of posts on several forums after we asked for feedback, this is what we have come up with.

* We will tuck the sides in a little tighter to the body at the fender line.
* We plan to raise the stinger a couple inches to match the grill line a little more.
* We will have options for a turn signal of some kind
* We will have options for light tabs on the bottom and back of the stinger to run offroad lights there
* To start out, we will not have an option for a body lift. However, we may work that option in at a later date
* Pricing is going to be $749 with the stinger. FWIW, the stinger is an intregal part of the bumper for strength reasons to help support each boxed portion.
* Shipping will be flat rate at $125 to the continental US. This is oversized, so it will not be cheap to ship.

Man that thing is so sexy price point is still below most plate bumpers, whats the time frame as far as being in production?

We can probably take pre-orders by the end of the week. The nice thing is that we already have the winch mount and mounting crossmember available, so the R&D on the rest shouldn't take long at all. But, we need to build a jig for it.

Unfortunately, this truck is leaving my shop today, so we will need another truck locally to build another one on and then take it and reverse engineer it all.

A 4runner version will be next as we have two in house to work with.

The best part of this also is that the winch mount is designed around 86-95 rigs. So, it will be a seamless transition to have these available for 86-95 IFS rigs as well.

Too rich for my blood Any chance you would sell the winch mount center section separately as a base for my own design? If so, how much would that run?

 

[JWaldz]

Initially, it all looks good. Boo on no body lift options lol. Still want to see it on an IFS 4Runner as it's sleek design will surely leave exposed parts behind it.

It covers the core support completely so it shouldn't be any different. Washer res maybe a little exposed, but that POS needs to be moved anyway. If you're running 35s you know this though.

No, we don't offer it separately. Sorry

 

[GSPRunner]

When will you get it on the website with all the details/options?

 

[fish0281]
