new company making custom bumpers

killcatzforfun · Nov 9, 2011

Im having my front and rear bumpers made soon by a company here in tampa fl. They mostly do jeeps but are looking to expand their market. They can do them in either steel or aluminum, and say both are very close in strength. All the parts that make up the bumpers are cut on cnc... they make real nice bumpers. Im going to get something that looks like the arb or road armor bumpers, when I can afford it. They are giving me a special deal because they need my truck for measurements, so they can have them saved in the computer and start stamping these out like nothing.

What price range would you all be interested in this for ? and say I could get a really good rate, if we got like 5 people to order at the same time would you do it ? Im not trying to get a better deal on mine, or make any money. I just want to see some nice bumpers on some titans, because they are so far and few in between ! Im going back in a few days to talk to the guy, so I want to be able to tell him theres a good market for this. thanks. ( sorry no pics yet, Ill have them when I see him again )

Ill be a test dummy for a rear if possible, I want a rear bumper just something subtle but strong

BBtruck · Nov 9, 2011

I would be interested in a rear bumper too. It might keep my pincer from tighten up every time I stop and see the buttmuncher behind me either texting or on the cell slamming their brakes in the last minute within inches of my bumper. This chit is happening more often than not.

But I'm also NOT interested in paying 1200 dollars for one of them either

killcatzforfun · Nov 9, 2011

thats the style im going with for the rear, without the logos on each side though. And sorry vilim, my truck is already the test dummy lol. I dont know what the price will be, but I will have a good ballpark soon.

vilim12 · Nov 9, 2011

Lol you suck, they're gonna need 2 trucks for sure I heard yours is different lol jk. But thats the style I want but 1200 bucks is insane for something like that, could definitely do better things in my life with that money.

killcatzforfun · Nov 9, 2011

im hoping these guys come through on the price. Ive already seen what they can do and they are awesome.
What do you think is a fair price front and rear that you would be willing to spend ?

vilim12 · Nov 9, 2011

Im not interested in a front really, but id drop 400-500 on a rear. Don't care about strength really just as long as its a bit stronger than stock I'm mostly in it for looks.

BBtruck · Nov 9, 2011

Nice thick aluminum one is what I would like, but I'm flexible. Man I wish I lived in Florida, you cats can get all the good stuff made.

thats the price I was thinking, although I think it will be more, because the material alone is pretty pricey.

I would aso be interested in one for the rear as well. I already bedlined mine and did well lets just say not that nice of a job. As vilim says not wanting to drop a nt on one either.

I might be interested depending on the cost and looks. Rear bumper would need to fit with a hitch.

I am looking for a front bumper similiar to the one KingPolaris has (looking for pic). Not a big fan of the large, bulky ones. But an integrated front hitch reciever would also be cool.

I would say price range would have to be front - $700 and rear - $400-450.

killcatzforfun · Nov 10, 2011

I couldnt find one for the titan. have a link ?

Izzy_09! · Nov 11, 2011

Item # 130482626967 the price went up a bit now, and shipping is always gonna be expensive unless you live close to their shop since you could pick it up

Why would someone want an aluminum bumper? Even a thick one?

vilim12 · Nov 11, 2011

Maybe just for looks and weight, not protection

CVTitan05 · Nov 11, 2011

Or get rear ended!

zach93 · Nov 11, 2011

Izzy_09! · Nov 16, 2011

soon, Ive been pretty busy, been all over the state this week. But im home now.

vilim12 · Jan 26, 2012

any update

killcatzforfun · Jan 27, 2012

so far a total let down. I stopped trying to hunt the guy down. every time he told me to go to his shop had just so happened to leave to get gas for the welder or something. I just started rented out a shop a few bays down from him this week so Im going to try and catch him while hes there one time.

TekSec · Jan 29, 2012

I really hope this pans out...although I'm thinking about the Road Rhino WIY now....

killcatzforfun · Jan 29, 2012

ive also been thinking about it. but I will keep you guys posted. I havent forgotten

Izzy_09! · Jan 29, 2012

I got the road rhino WIY, (my dad welded it) came out really nice. All I need is the rear one but havent seen any that are affordable

You didn't want the matching Road Rhino? I think it's about the most affordable from what I've found.

Cuban11182 · Jan 30, 2012

killcatz, let me know if you want another local buyer. I'm only going to be stationed here till this summer, so if we can get the ball rolling I might be interested.

Can you tell me where the shop is located? Is it on Causeway BLVD over by the Port?

dksfowler · Feb 1, 2012

watching this im buying one in the next 2 months. for the front. so let me know

TekSec · Feb 1, 2012

Yea I verified with him also and he says no go on the rear. I'm thinking about getting the front kit and then making a rear to match.

Izzy_09! · Feb 1, 2012

Wow I've seen the rear on another brand and it look like a lot of cutting welding and grinding to make one of those! The bumper is worth it to whoever is thinking of buying one and will get a lot of heads turning and looking! Lol
