Jason, I know you are getting a lot of requests and a lot of question, but are you going to plan on a front bumper without a winch mount? Would that drop the cost of the bumper at all? I want the bumper with all the hoops but its a little much right now. I was just wondering? Thanks for such an awesome product. I can't wait to see what you have for the rear.
Hands down - Demello with the logo... how much fun is it going to be to see DO (in reverese) stamped into other cars who were foolish enough to cut us off?
All kidding aside, they are all high quality front steel. It really is a tough decision but at this price without the hoops - much easier decision. $1100 for the ARB or 7-ish for the Demello? With Jason's build quality and attention to the concerns of his customers it would be an easy decision for me. Especially after getting the run around from ARB for 4 months and knowing they have no intention of building a snorkel for our year and model of Tacoma. They want to exclude this market, I have no problem excluding them from my pocket book.

That was the same thought I had when it came to the 4Runner. I would much rather give my money to small vendors who care about our vehicles.
Besides, Demello is a fabrication God. He always tries to give back to the offroad community. He's also active in our forums, here and on TTORA where he is even more respected if that is possible. I may have to hit a bank to get all of the stuff I want from him, but... that's going to be true of any offroad vendor. This hobby just isn't cheap.

OK this is my favorite bumper for the fj so far, but I am hesitant because I want to see what tube style bumper you will come up with.....anything in the works??
We will do a tube bumper, but it may be a few more weeks at the least.
