Any Dallas/Ft. Worth bumper builders?

Looking at quite a few solutions, but most of the builders are out of state. I don't want anything over-the-top, but something robust, tubular,and functional (recovery points, hitches, etc.)

Looking for a front and a rear (w/ some side armor) for my 92 pickup, plz share any info avail for builders in my area.


Thanks!

There is a shop in plano called Expert Offroad. They mostly deal with jeeps but they do custom fab work. Right now they have an 85 4runner and they are doing full suspension, marlin dual cases, fuel cell, and alot more.

Great guys to deal with.

Saw a late-model blue ex-cab Chevy Silverado sportin their stickers across the windows.


The thing had a solid front 60, coilovers, rear 14b, bobbed front, full exo cage, ect... very nice lookin rig. Didn't get any pics.

I haven't dealt with this company, but I will definitely be checking more into
them as my projects get started up...


edit: This was the truck I saw cruisin down 75 a week ago. This pic is obviously before they cut the bed, narrowed the front, and added an exo cage

I was able to make contact w/ Justin, and I think I'm going to have him make my stuff. Can't thank you guys enough for the info; wouldn't have found him otherwise! Great board and people!

How would I go about getting yotatech.com stickers? lil burro (aka 92 truck) just got paint and all new glass, so the buildup has begun. Would like to put YOTATECH on the truck!
