It's hard to tell from the picture, but does a spare tire still fit underneath with this custom bumper?

That's a great looking bumper and a fantastic price to say the least.

From what I remember looking at his rear bumper, NO. But I'd just PM him or something and just ask. Or you can ask Calrockx since he's seen his bumper too.

there are plans to incorporate a tire carrier into these bumpers, so don't despair just yet.

I hope to pick up his old one!
this is true. i got mine for $450. he has the matierials outsources to be cut, then he welds em together. make the work easier on him. the materials aren' t that much, and the 3prd party work isn't too bad on cost, and he can weld them up pretty efficiently, so he's tried to keep the cost down.
a difference between his original bumper and these are that with these the pieces are laser cut. that just makes the bumper even cleaner looking and more precise.

April Fools, eh?

Still 1/8" plate?

How does jobbing out braking and cutting make it cheaper?

wow....450, and a spare up to 35 can fit underneath. Do you have to modify the side rails at all? If not, I'd definitely be interested, 1st batch or the 2nd!!

Lots of eager folks.

As of yet, no materials have been specked and I cannot see a pic.

The design is close to my Rockware and has it's faults under hard use.

Good luck with this, I think Bumper Wars just started.
