Arrow New Custom Off Road Bumpers

Here are some of the rear, we decided to put the hitch in the bumper




with some of the left over paint i decided to paint the roof rack also, sry for the picture quality i will get some better ones later

im in love with your bumpers... like seriously I have been looking for a rear bumper that wraps around because it looks like crap when you remove the stock bumper and the aftermarket ones don't wrap around... good job many props.

very very nice, good choice of paint.
keeping the paint scheme looks really good

you should build prototypes for a 1st gen and ill wear them
for free, bash em up a bit, an let you know how awesome they
are, and ill be in san diego for the next 5 days so i could pick
them up and avoid the pesky shipping thing.

Look great, but are you worried about the front hitting the body with flex?

Nice work. How much time did you put in on those before paint? Those would probably sell well in the $600. range, naked.

Those look great ... You may want a bit more of a gap between the body and the bumper since it will flex some upwards. Where in Virginia are you?

Looks great! You are a metal working wizard. I really love the front including the push bar. There is just a small thing I'd have done different on the rear, but that's only if you plan on putting "D" rings on those tabs.

you know...its kinda stupid of me but i didnt even think about the body flexing but im sure it will be fine because we just put tabs in the finder wells, a buddy and i did these bumpers at his shop in Johnson city tn, thats where i attend college, he said he would make them and sell them... he is the one that did all the welding, i cant take credit for that he is amazing at what he does, the shop is tangent design and they have a web site. ill talk to him and get a price, and the front bumper is winch ready , i just cant afford one now after those bumpers but i knew i would get one...i do have a few pics of the build for the rear but thats it ...ill get them up along with a price here shortly

Those are REALLY nice, let us know a price and i am sure he could get a fair amount of buissness, i know if the price was right i would pick up a set after i finish my Supercharger.

Seriously, if you find out a price post it, if not then PM me. I REALLY like it (though i would want the bull bar made differnt, but that should not be hard)

And as someone said earlier, is it winch ready?

So you are right, i must have missed it due to the long run-on sentence.
