I found the most aesthetically pleasing rear bumper I think I've seen so far. Its made by Irbis Offroad. http://irbisoffroad.com/II-4r-r-b.asp More to the point, it looks like its pretty tough as well. I'm looking at building a bumper and I think I will base it on this.

 

irbis is local to me and they build some pretty amazing stuff. they are great, hard working, genuine guys.

 

I like the simple functionality. If they were closer by I might think about ordering one, but I'm not, so I think I will try to weld one up.

 

that looks good, but might wanna extend the side pieces to wrap around the corner a lil bit to protect the lower portion of the light...

 

i personally still think the Big Country Custom bumpers out of British Columbia look way better. And i'd rather pay BCC $600cdn and get a more stronger bumper rather than tubes similar to a MC bumper.

 

Any clue if they make a 1st gen one? FoCo isn't too far from Denver...

 

they are actually located in the denver area i think. they can and will build anything you want. here is their web site. if you call excuse their english lol (they are brothers from turkey or somethin over there)

i was checkin' out that link for those guys and was wondering if any of you guys know what this is: some kinda subaru...

that is a Subie B9 Tribeca that Yuri and Oleg's friend built up.

The brothers are from Kazahkstan and I will also vouch for them. They are Rising Sun club members and I am glad to know them.

 

I'm sorry but black dress socks, brown loafers, and shorts is sooo 2009! hahahahaha!! Is that a Subaru Brat on steroids?

 

Can you post a picture of that, BCCs website doesn't work properly (and hasn't forever).

 

x2 I agree completely. This is very similar to the MC bumper and that is half the cost. the ARB bumper is a tad big more but seems super thick and comes with a spare tire carrier.

 

Do you have a pic??

 

That is a good looking bumper for sure.

Did you guys check out the frame-off resto they did on an 87 runnr??? http://irbisoffroad.com/Skyrunner_pics.asp

 

That's a hyrid 3rd gen/ 1st gen!!! I was wondering why one pic shows a 1st with 3rd gen IFS A-arms.

 

It's apparently for sale too...

ya those guys will try anything. the 1/3rd gen they are selling is amazing to see in person. i hung at the shop for a day and they had people come in with 1st gens asking how much for the custom bumper they built for it and they had to keep explaining that it would not fit. haha the customers could realize that it was built with the mounting points to a 3rd gen frame. good stiff. but they really are great guys.
