I found an off road fabricator (Ballastic Fabrication) who will make these brackets for a group buy. These are based on the design by Spressomon (Dan) but they will be made out of steel plate instead of aluminum. The brackets will be bare metal and you can finish them as you see fit (I will primer mine and spray paint mine). You will need to buy your own bolts and washers, but I let you know what size/grade works best.
The cost will be $50 per bracket. I prefer that you order a pair ($100) but as long as we total 10 pieces we will be able to do this. We may get a discount for over 20 pieces. You will also be responsible for shipping costs, so please factor this into your decision. I don't know for sure what the shipping is going to cost but I will try to narrow this down. I may be able to pick them up or Mudship the order to save some money?
You will need to decide by Oct. 30th. I need to have the $50 per FRB before I order but shipping can be figured out after they are done. Paypal will be preferred but we can work that out in PM's.
Dan made the following comment about the brackets:
"FYI: Recommend 10.9 hardened bolts and hardened/HD flat washer under each bolt head; and as you probably already know these FRB won't work very well with a factory bumper or risk cosmetic damage or worse. And lastly you need a 7/8" (1" pin diameter) D/Bow Shackle (REFA43479 from 4x4connection.com) per each FRB."
I will post some pictures soon, but I can't from this PC. I will update this whenever I have new information to share.
