Thank you very much for the tip, Dave. I will give them a call and set up an appointment.

We have rented trucks in the past for development of new products, but this particular vehicle is very hard to come by at rental places. We would rather give money to fellow Overlanders than rental places as well. The most difficult place to get a test mule is the dealership so if we can avoid...

Hello Everyone, We have a customer out in Colorado that is looking for us to build a custom bumper for his 2012 Dodge 5500. These trucks are slightly different than the 2500 and 3500 that we already make a bumper for so we are looking for someone locally who might be able to stop into our shop...

Here you go! The air scoop on the bottom is a custom part we made him to direct extra air into the engine compartment. It's not needed for most applications.

If anyone is questioning the strength of our sliders mounted to the body you should take a look at these pictures. One of our customers was hit at 50mph by someone who ran a red light. These particular sliders were made out of chromoly, but are still mounted to the body of the vehicle.

We can make almost any of our bumpers into a slimline version by taking the winch compartment out. Here is an example on a Dodge Ram We also make full winch bumper with a customized brush guard. We have done bull bars, full brush guards, no brush guards and quite a few one off custom...

Thanks for helping us out with that post. We did find a couple of people from The Samba that are willing to come in and help us out. We are working with them to schedule the initial measurement and design of the bumper. I will keep you all updated as things progress

Just to update everyone, we are still on the hunt for a Vanagon. We have had a few interested parties, but none can find the time to make it into our shop to start the engineering process. If anyone knows anybody in San Diego with a Vanagon that would be willing to help please have them...

Thanks for the lead, iceman.

Hello everyone, We have a good customer that is looking for us to build him some front and rear bumpers for his VW Syncro. The problem is that he doesn't live close enough for us to design the bumpers off of his vehicle. This is where the fine folks of Expedition Portal come in. If anyone is...

Now that is Special. We need to see a photo of you and Robin standing next to it. Can't wait to see it. Very cool indeed. Thanks to GlobalMonkey for the photos.

We like to set the winch up to pull directly off the frame. When you start to offset the winch you increase stress points where parts can fail. We also like the idea of locking the winch inside of our bumper to keep greedy hands and thieves away.

Dodge puts the intercooler so far forward that its difficult to make a bumper that will fit a winch without coming so far out. We try our best to hide the size of the bumper with different styles of brush guards, but there isn't much else we can do.

We have not made anything for those, but we are not opposed to making something. We would just need to have the vehicle in our shop for a couple of hours to take some measurements and come up with a design.

Thank you for offering up your help. You are more than welcome to come by and see our shop, but we really do need a Power Wagon specifically because they have a built in winch. We want to ensure that there is enough bracing and protection just in case the winch cable is pulled up against the...

We find that with the right prep, powdercoating adheres to aluminum really well. Even if it is scratched it does not bubble or flake like on other materials.

We do make bumpers for the JK's. The only pictures I have are a bit of an extreme example. This customer had some pretty custom stuff he wanted done. We can slim these bumpers down quite a bit and do custom brush guards for you as well.

We are super close to getting that bumper done. We are trying to get a 06-09 Power Wagon in our shop for a final test fit to add some additional bracing to handle the winch in any circumstance. This has proven to be pretty difficult. Just yesterday when I was running an errand I happen to...

Thanks! A big thank you needs to go out to all of our customers that are also members on the forum. Without your enthusiasm and dedication to quality products we would not be in business. Also a big thank you for all of you who have donated your vehicles to us to create new products and...
