We'll most likely do sliders but not sure about skids just yet.

The bumper will be set up so you can just through a front license plate on to cover up the fairlead hole. There will only be 2 holes in the top for winch access. If they appear to big we'll probably just make some drop in filler plates for those who want them....

Yes you will, if not more than 2 lights. Thats one of the standard options on all our bumpers...

IMHO I DO NOT like the bull bar. I think it would look a lot cleaner without it. However, you have a few people that do like it, it might get in the way of the grille when you open the hood.

Make that bull bar an option and you will have the best of both worlds for sales.

I am very interested in one of these for tucking the larges possible tire with the lowest amount of lift height.

Very nice.

I like the bullbar. It's the best way to tiedown 24ft kayaks(next to a hitch-mounted T post in a 2" reciever). Bullbars pay for themselves when Bambi frolics in the headlights...

You'll be able to get it with or without a bull bar

I know you said you can't talk price but what do others in the same size cost? What range are they in. We talking $1,+++.++ or are we in the $2,+++.++ ballparks?

Just curious. The layout looks pretty cool, will it be powdercoated or anodized or what. My guess would be powder coated but then it could always be Line-X'd too.

Ok so the logo looks familiar on the front of this sweet design but I can't recall the name. Any of you guys know this company jfonz works for?

I guess it depends on who your getting it from. I know some companies pricing for a load bumper can get over 2K pretty quick. My guess is that ours would top out under 2k, and would probably be just under 2K including shipping for a fully loaded one including upgraded lights. That is of course just a guess. We want to be competitive with whats on the market and believe we can do so.

The standard bumper will come with powder coat, but it can be ordered without. In areas with large salt contents and extreme temperatures we would recommend getting a bumper bare and coating locally. Usually you'll be about to find someone in your area that can coat the bumper for the environment better than we can if it is an exteme environment area...

You answered the question, but just to clarify, I was speaking of others than you make in the same size class of truck. I wasn't refering to other company's products. I didn't expect you to be able to answer for them.

Like I said though, you also answered what I was looking for, thank you for that. I will be anxious to see what you put together!!!

[jfonz]

OK, so after studying the hood on these it appears as though we're going to have to come up with a few different options for hoops or bull bars. I'll be posting up some new stuff later on today hopefully...

[Wallygator]

Actually I think I would prefer it if you had a no hoop option. Thanks.

It will have a no hoop option....

[Fireball]

It looks good but the bar that goes over the top of the bumper it covers 90% of the front grill`s crome and that is what tundra gets a lot of its LOOKs.
What do you think cats ??

[kmlambie]

It looks really good. I'd sure like to see it from the "side" too.

Can you post up a picture of that as well ??

Thanks

Its Just in CAD right now and the Tundra is 1d so you can't really see a good side view...

I might have a remedy for this by tonight....

[jfonz]

We went ahead and made a prototype....









Bullbar and hoop designs will be coming shortly...

very nice!!!!!!!!

3/16" or 1/8" plate? I like the way you guys were able to "tighten" up around the bottom where the frame hangs down. Not to get to excited, but can we expect a similar rear design as well?

[jpnca]

I like it as it sits now. I like how it follows the lines of the truck. Powercoat it black and send it to me

the outer skin is 3/16". the inner is a combination of 3/16" and 1/4".

Rear will most likely have similar design cues and is in the works.

[Possum]

Possum wuntsit!! Must have it, yess, in the blackness, with hoop, froglights and matching rear. I'll trade my first wife for it, OK?,fine. Keep us posted.
