Re: Desert Armor Custom Front Bumper:

I really like the design of this bumper. My in-laws are in Queen Creek and I have to make the annual pilgrimage down there over Christmas. It sure would be nice to make the trip worthwhile!

Hopefully you will have it on store shelves just in time for Santa!

Re: Desert Armor Custom Front Bumper:

I have not kept up on this thread for several weeks.

What is the outcome of the rear bumper for a future design?

Re: Desert Armor Custom Front Bumper:

the first 6 pics with it just tubing dont look so hot, but that probably not the intended install, the following pics with the mesh and the lights and such look pretty cool, too military for my tastes but it does look cool with the lights and the winch and the mesh and the lights in the last option... rock on!

We are going forward with production, the jig and tools are being made as we speak. But since the bumper comes with many options and is 'custom made to order' they will not be on store shelves. But turn around time from order to finished product will not be long. Maybe a week at the most (+shipping time).

Once all the jigs and tools are done for the front bumper then we can focus on the rear. The rear bumper is going to be a little more difficult than the front but we hope to have a prototype in the next month.

Re: Desert Armor Custom Front Bumper:

While everyone was having drinks and eating Bellydocs BBQ, I snuck out and checked out the Rigs. Very sweet indeed Pumbaa. Lines are clean and very easy to get behind the bumper for winch or wiring of the lights.
