As some of you know I call our FJ Nala a "Prerunner" because it is 2wd. We have lifted her, put on Demello rock rails, Demello front skid and many other mods. This week Jason Demello made me an "offer I couldn't refuse" on a prerunner tube bumper. To say the least, he hooked Sandabbe and I up real good and we are Indebted to him.(I only hope to keep his "Gumba's" away. trust me I will). In talking to Jason he told me that Linex would hold up a little better than powder coat, so I found a dealer that was more than reasonable and had that coating put on. There are some issues that need to be addressed but they are minor and I'm shure Jason will step up to help.

I have never pulled the "Tupperware" front bumper off, so I called on Mudlovingfj to lend a hand. He came right over and started to help out. without his help I would still be out there trying to get that plastic off! So a BIG THANKYOU goes out to Mudloving!

Am I the only one that is not really feeling the Bumber?... just seems "Stuby" and small...and the angle of it kinda flat-faced...?/?I am not tryin to be Negative just thought it would look better!

This one is the prototype. The production bumper will be more tucked in at the bottom and may be a little more narrow too. I like the extra crash protection that this one provides though.

Awesome guys. Mud strikes again!

Wrigman, that looks great. I like how you added the to piece to give it a more finished look. Do you have a lift? It looks like it's the same height as Mud's FJ. I'll check it out next week at the party!

We both have the same lift. OME.:)
