I'd send you a deposit if it made things go faster

Also, I dont have the tools to cut/bend metal, so I would definetly be in the market for buying the individual peices. I would enjoy welding it myself.

Please count me in....!!!

Do you think a 5000# capacity receiver hitch is possible?

If you mean SR5 flares, then simply look at mine



bob, as for body lifts, each bumper will be custom fit depending on how much lift there is, eventually I may redesign the mounting system to be adjustable, but for now, I'm trying to get the bumper into production ASAP....

I mean these...flares...if you can even call them that:


I remember reading you were going to do different sizes for the different flare styles...but I could have just made that up in my head.

I've been real busy the last 3 weekends and it'll be a few weeks before I can get a chance to work on the next prototype. Was at a friends party last night and lost my voice.....can't seem to figure out where I put it....

Today I'm getting my stuff ready to go paintballin with a private group of work buddies and might be in San Diego tomorrow. Next weekend I need to add the finishing touches to Charles bumper, then make the final jig....

I still need to do one more prototype to confirm the template is correct, then I'll send it off to be copied. Once I get thing rollin I'll post more, been quite busy with work lately, so there hasn't been much free time.

Add me to the list of great interest.

I'm trying my hardest to keep my 3rd gen "stock" but it's just not that easy.
