I've been in contact with Sarah at Expedition One pleading for a group buy on their bumpers. Below is her e-mail response. I've agreed to post this for them and gather the information to facilitate a group buy. (I've simply cut & paste from their e-mail so I hope all of the links work.)
==================================================
EDIT 2/21/11 - The kind folks at Exp-1 have agreed to extend the GB for 1 week. Now ending 2/27/11! We've met the 15% discount!
EDIT 2/14/11 - I emailed Exp-1 and they have decided to open the Group Buy up to include the rear bumper. "If you want the rear with a carrier the wait time will be longer -- most likely 8 weeks."
Group Buy Announcement:
At Expedition One, we are off-roaders first and manufacturers second. We love the FJ and the fans of our FJ products. Demand for our FJ bumpers is high, And even though they are more expensive for us to build than other bumpers, we have kept the cost where it is as much as possible despite the fact that our costs have continued to climb. Because we have kept the price low, they are not our bread and butter, which requires us to expand our market in other areas, with other vehicles to keep us in business.
We do not have a surplus on FJ bumpers, and in fact, have a hard time providing for the current demand. Due to the interest in a group buy, we are discussing the option. It would require that we do a special run just for group buy order.Ordering a special run of bumpers means another bumper does not get manufactured, and for that reason, a group buy offer would need to come with the following limitations:
1) We would have to limit the group buy to FJ front bumpers only, however, for anyone who orders a front and also wants a rear shipped with it, we would extend the same discount on the rear. Lights are included in the discount pricing.
2) Winch orders can be included with FJFB orders, however, the highest discount available will be 10% regardless of the total number of group buy orders and our free shipping special does not apply to a group buy order.
3) Because this will be a special run, ship date for base bumpers, standard hoop, diamond, and kodiak style will be at least 4 weeks from the closing date of the special. WyoOtto and Bullbar styles will be at least 6-8 weeks.
4) We will only open this opportunity for 1 week beginning Sunday Feb 13th -midnight Sun Feb 20th at these terms:
Forum Members only
10-14 FJFB orders 5% off
15-19 FJFB orders 10% off
20+ FJFB orders 15% off
So that being said, this is our official group buy notice, spread the word. One week only.
