New Bumper - Finally
After 3 grueling weeks without my baby I finally got him back. Had a steel bumper developed by Rovertym Engineering. It's not quite completed - going to get some lamps, a hawse fairlead & synthetic rope, move the solenoid inside the engine, and paint the bolts & recovery points black. I'd also like to finish off where they trimmed the wheel well somehow and have some sort of snap on cover to hide the winch when not in use.
Looking good SV nice to see the winch is easily accessible The End

Okay, so you've plunked down cash for a snorkle, tires, winch, custom bumper, custom CO2 tank, etc... and you aren't planning on driving out to the National Rally? Come on girl, bring it!

It's a fuzzy duck
Must say I'm pretty intimidating as long as the windows are rolled up
They did a wonderful job, can't tell ya how nervous I was to look. Sliders are next I think, if there were any way ($$ ) I'd be driving out to the national rally in a heartbeat!I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

This one was the guinea pig so cost a whole lot thankfully only charged me a fraction of it. Haven't a clue on what they'll cost in the end, supposed to be reasonable.
It's gonna be a while before they'll be producing. There will probably be a couple more renditions made till the final perfect bumper is ready. Pretty sure they can be shipped internationally, although I don't know how international laws come in to play or any of that.
I'll try to find out more info on their plans when the head guy gets back from Disney I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?
