Badland Bumpers

Just got my '84 back from Badland Bumpers located in Ravensdale, WA.
Ordered a new custom front tube bumper, sliders, and rear bumper.
If the rear bumper looks familiar, it's because it's fashioned after Rob's (WATRD) design.

Very nice Jim.
Have never seen you on a run with that rig. You always brought your red Xtra cab right?

Thanks Guys

Glad ya like it.
smr4runner...yes, I have taken my '89 Xtracab on several runs to Greenwater.
Only started playing around with this '84 not quite a year ago.
Here's another pic of the front tube bumper. Stout as hell. Frame was reinforced prior to mounting, BTW.

I like the bumper, I think it may stick out a little for my tastes, but still very cool. Congrats!

Jim stopped by my place today and I checked out his rig with the new toys on it.

All I can say is the gear is 100% as I knew it would be.
The rear bumper is what I will have Jeff @ Badlands build me in the future, but with sides on them.

The front bumper is a piece of art, it really looks that good in person.

Dude, That is one sweet '84!!!

I love that front bumper, Looks as if you could drive through a wall with no ill effects (except the truck wont be as shiny lol) Yup, I think its time to upgrade so I too can post pics of awesome new shiny things

Very nice attention to detail.
Cheers, Lee Hathaway

I'd hate to think about getting something like that shipped, anyone know "Jeff" well enough to know if he'd be willing to pass on/sell designs for his bumpers?

Jeff ships his bumpers all over the place. Might be worth a phone call.

Badland Bumpers

I've got a basher tube bumper and a rear bumper/tire carrier on the way and I'm in Alabama. Shipping wasn't too bad. I'm waiting on them to arrive shortly...
