Getting the Wheeling Fever
I'm still interested but unless you're getting these real soon you'll have to ship it to NC. How much do you figure that would be or is that included in the $550?

*i moved this weekend internets are getting setup tomorrow, so my current use is limited and i'm not real cool with checking the wire over my phone (smart phone dumb fingers)*


Anyway, If everyone who has said they're in is really in I can order hopefully this week or next. The bumpers are coming via boat so shipping isn't going to be quick, Torchwood we'll work something out. i'll get a rough estimate on shipping and maybe LT can get us a hookup at the PO???

Oh man. I'm tempted to just buy and have as back up. Should I ever happen to my ARB *knocking on wood*. Or maybe if I ever bought another Mintero ha

On a side note. Do you ever plan on making a full set of full under body skids? Just curious! Great work over there

I did make a skid plate set but i don't work at the shop with the CNC plasma anymore and i doubt they still have the CAD drawings. At one point i had posted that i could get them made, shipping was killer and the plates themselves were not super cheap because i had to pay the shop. I guess the thing to do would be to make new CAD files and just offer those as freeware. You could have them blasted out locally and only the one under the front diff needs to be bent so it would be cheaper than if i were to have someone in Az cut them for me.

It would be cool however to produce an exact copy of the factory skids + trans/cat skid in 1/8" AR400. It wouldn't be cheap by any means but that would be the ultimate, not much heavier than stock but much stronger than 1/4" steel. One day...

I like how you think. That WOULD be great.

Yeah, I see what your saying with shipping. If I had a template to take to a shop, would probably be ideal.

Any plans for a rear bumper, with/without quarter panels cut, with/without rear frame lift Could always make one style and have brackets that can be welded once specific height is figured out

That's the plan, i want to make a really simple rear bumper that doesn't incorporate the quarter panels, then make a few different side pieces to be welded on because so many of are running different setups. We'll see though.

Good thinking! You thinking something really low profile or something Similar to what you came up with for the front. The front you designed looks similar to an ARB too
