Hi Mack. Penticton. B.C.

HBOSS. Thanks. Appreciate it.
Here is the main difference between my bumpers and others.
tjm, arb bumpers are formed in a machine. They are nice bumpers. My bumpers are welded together with seperate pieces. Where each piece meets there is a continuous weld. Then there is another piece of steel welded on an angle. End result is structural rigidity. You cant compare that to a formed bumper.
My bumpers are hand cut,hand welded, hand ground, hand drilled,hand sandblasted, and hand powdercoated. Very labour intensive. And all out of 10 guage steel.
I cant compete with a formed by a machine bumper in price. Its impossible.
But in quality and strength it more than competes. And it looks ok as well which is bonus.
Handbuilt VS machine punched.

Homemade soup???? or soup from a can.
Its just another choice out there.

All very good points.

At least I do understand now why the price needs to be higher. Thank you for clarifying, zedex.
