I am almost completely caught up on my orders right now. My goal is to have a few on the shelf by the end of next week.

I will also be releasing more of a pointed stinger version for the same price this week. I promise that it won't block the headlights though.

Hey Scotty I know this is off topic but have you considered making that rear bumper (89 4runner) with a spare tire carrier? I ask because I've beat the crap out of my MC rear and with all the cuts and mods I had to do to get it to mount on the runner (it came off a truck) it's needing to be replaced. I like yours and want to go that route but want a spare carrier as well.

I'm digging my Addicted front bumper! The fit is perfect and the lines match the frontend of the Toyota's nicely!

I have seriously considered going production on it. However, after really looking at what would need to be done by the customer, its just not feasible. It would require shipping the bumper in six separate pieces that would definitely require welding. The problem comes in where I have to be able to trust someone else's welding to hold together my brain child. Its hard to do that and take out the "trust" factor. I just don't feel comfortable with it. However, I have no issue building one in-house on someones rig. I don't think I would put the "lambo" design into production on one though. Not that it doesn't work well, its just that the hinge is stupid expensive.

Anyway, that it in a nut shell.

So instead of having the swing out swinging up you'd make it more of a traditional swing out? Man I'm in New Mexico so a run up to Colorado to get a bumper that will last at least as long as my rig isn't a big issue. If you think you'd actually be able to put one on the rig let me know. I'd also like you to ball park a price and time frame for me if you don't mind.

Laters!

I might be elk hunting out your way next fall, have to decide if I want to wait that long.

I understand your concerns,

Thanks,
