Hey, anybody know how far this bumper sticks out on each side of the body?

Just tryin' to figure out what will look good and still protect the body. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Roll Me Over
Have you contacted Joe to ask him? As I recall, this is a fairly new product so I am sure that Joe is the best resource.

By the way, Joe is an NCO in the Air Force and he does this because he loves Isuzus and fabbing stuff. He will be more than glad to chat with you about this or any of his products.

It's probably about a half inch. I have seen that truck first hand and that is definitly one bad <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> bumper. It's super stout too, you put that thing on and it aint goin nowhere. He uses that rodeo to tow his SAS'd one...... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
I saw it last week. Up close and personal. I don't know how far out it sticks out, but I can tell you it looked like it belonged there. Nothing out of place or shaped weird. Really a nice looking bumper. I liked the smooth finish it had the most, and the swing out tire carrier built into the bumper. I may have to get me one for my Trooper. Even though I could make one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> Why reinvent the wheel? He's done his homework on this one.

Yes we are friends. Been friends since he first made my front bumper for my Rodeo.
The way "I" like to do buisness with people.

Yah, that is a very nice bumper. And Curtis is right, the finish on it is awesome. Joe can paint as good as he can weld.

That particular bumper actually is solid black, but with some very mild gold flake in it for just a hint of sparkle when the light hits it just right. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


I was by the shop Sat afternoon to drop off my Trooper and he had about four bumpers on the floor 'in production' <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I know it's for the gen two but I like the design and want to copy it for my rear bumper when I get a chance to get one made(or make one). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

That is one of the major reasons you don't see more products like bumpers and such for Isuzu's. We, the vendors and manufactuers, spend countless hours researching, designing, test fitting, re-designing, re-fitting, and thousands of $$ in materials and time so others can use our hard work to copy the design and build it themselves <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />. That is why we are reluctant to spend our $$ on new products that others can just copy and build themselves to save a few bucks. We, the vendors and manufactuers expect you to support us if you want us to support you with quality and well designed products!!


Joe

A little old lady once asked me why I have those big heavy bumpers on my truck, I responded "if I bump into something, I win!!" "BTW, I did bump into a Chev Minvan at about 30 MPH...it lost!"
