Your in Ca. Don't you know better then to ask Cheap. There is a guy in Ca, his name here on the board is Zedex he makes custom steel bumpers. That might be a cheaper option for you.

I doubt his bumpers will be cheaper since he hand makes his. His are a lot nicer looking though. You will probably save on shipping charges since he lives in BC too.

Zedex makes some of the sweetest bumpers I've seen...once I decide the order of things I wanna do on my truck I will eventually be going with either his or an ARB/TJM...not sure which yet due to availability and shipping costs.

I dont know what the price of a t-17 is but mike at X-TREAME offroad is a good place to go. I dont think anyone on the board has had a problem w/ him. That's where I got my lift and bumper.

$447 is the cheapest I have found. That even beat Mike at Xtreme Off-road.

Here is the link.

From Mike?

You must have been part of a group buy then. He told me to get the bumper elsewhere.

I got it from Mike, but not as a group buy, he price matched for me. It wasn't much less than that, I was just being sassy. It was like $419 or so I think.

I saved a lot of money by having it shipped to my job. I work for a food distributer (US Foodservice) and our warehouse is huge to say the least. It cuts down on shipping to go to a commercial address, as well as having a dock.

Well I can pick it up from him here in Phoenix, and he still told me to go elsewhere. In all honesty, I havent had that much luck with him. I know others only sing praise about his service, but for me it just hasnt worked out. Oh well, its all good.

Mike doesn't "stock" TJM bumpers, he couldn't afford to. He arranges for drop-shipping to your specified destination address straight from TJM.

I understand. I know everyone is going to be quick to defend him, so there is no point on going into what happened. There was much more to it than him just telling me to go elsewhere. I will leave it at that since I believe handling things in a professional manner is very important on both ends.

I would really like to know where I can get a TJM T17 for $419, that's all.

I think they've gone up in price is part of the deal...

$437.40 + $75 to a commercial address at 4x4connection

digging through my old emails, I see that I actually paid $445.10 delivered. The bumper at 4x4connection was $395.10 + $50 shipping (which Mike price matched at the time). Not the deal i thought, but still, I think, a good deal.

Did I do something to upset you? If that is the case, please lets take some time to talk about it...The only reason I would have told you to go elsewhere is as a benefit to you...

Lets take this off-line and find out what the issues are that you have with me my friend!

Mike
