Ya I spoke to Jay last thursday and expressed how awesome we thought his bumpers looked!! He seemed a little shy to his new found celebrity on the Forum. I advised there were a few other serious customers and probably a lot more as he gets more exposure. Sounds like a nice guy and said he was gonna try to contact you to coordinate seeing your old rig for measurements. Thanks for all your assistance with this Rob, we really appreciate it!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I got my 4" lift in this weekend so now I can fit the wheel & tire package to see if they rub. After that i just need a set of "Lemon-Aid Jay" bumpers to finish it off!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

update- talked to matt today, said his weighs
in @ 56 lbs and the cost of steel has been going
down. u should really give him a call soon,
he does alot of boat work so summer is his busy
time of year

Hey Lonnie, as of today my Sporty build has found a few hoops & hurdles regarding the lift so until that's figured out I can't proceed. As you may have noticed the guy who actually built the bumpers for the red sportage on the upyourkia site surfaced and is interested in building for us. I'm waiting to hear his pricing and shipping cost from Alberta Canada! I'm swaying his direction at this point mainly because he has already built exactly what I'm looking for. That takes the guess work out of the project and less surprises on my end when it gets here! I will call your guy in the next couple of days so not to leave him hang'n and see what his thoughts are. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I looks like it would way over 56 pounds.

i didnt weigh it myself, but he said the original was 32(i think,i have slept since then) and the new 1 was 56...i trust him so im sure thats right
