View Full Version : Front and Rear bumpers, any style, size and type

So far, I've built pretty much everything, except a strictly prerunner, for every generation of Bronco. Here's just a few examples of what I've done -

I've built two of these, so far -
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/106340/fullsize/Davids-bumper-2.JPG

Not a very clear picture on this one, is it? This one just got sent to TX
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/246879/fullsize/bumper.jpg

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/246880/fullsize/bumper-side.jpg

The idea for this one -
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/111369/fullsize/front.JPG

was borne from this one - picture, and idea, courtesy of Crazed
http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/88464/fullsize/Welding%20and%20bending%20for%20Todd%20099.jpg

I only have a few pictures of rear bumpers I've built -

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/38939/fullsize/LR-lift.JPG

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/168120/fullsize/after2.jpg

I know there are more, but I can't seem to find them. All bumpers are shipped via truck freight, by Saia, Inc, either to a business address, or can be picked up at the terminal. I offer three payment plans:
1) half down, with the balance, plus shipping, due upon completion, within 14 days
2) half down, with the balance, plus shipping, due in two payments, within 30 days
3) payment in full, with the shipping due upon completion, within 30 days

If the orders haven't paid for, within the 30 days of completion, then I regret to inform that customer, that the entire order will be forfeited, with no chance on reimbursement. I hate to have to do that, but I just do not have the space for storing orders

can you build off of autocad/solid works drawings?

Davids78Bronco
09-29-2005, 02:43 AM
I sure can. You have something in mind?

Zach94
09-29-2005, 03:12 AM
a rear that would wrap around the sides and be supported to the frame, plus a reciever. i also have a design for some unique sliders on my computer, i'd have to figure what is the priority. i haven't finalized anything, but i thought i'd ask. its sad, but during school money is actually easier to come by than having time and tools.

Shit i wish you lived close id love a double tube bumper for the front that raps around flush with the body.. I cant find them for 94 broncos anywhere on the internet.

Davids78Bronco
09-29-2005, 09:31 PM
Zach, that would be no problem at all

Bm - I can still help you out. I offer three payment plans, to make it as easy as possible, for those that are wanting a bumper, but can't afford to front all the money all at once - mind you, no matter which plan is chosen, the bumper isn't sent, until the balance, and shipping, is paid in full ;)

Can you build one for the front like toddac's I like that one it is perty. if not i like the first one on there can you tell me how much it is?

Thanks

09-29-2005, 11:43 PM
do you give a frequent buyer discount? :brownbag

Davids78Bronco
09-29-2005, 11:45 PM
The one on Todd's truck will sell for $425. The first one shown sells for $850

wookie1562
09-30-2005, 03:27 PM
How about a rear bumper like the one second from last with a receiver and clevis hooks? 90 bronco

Davids78Bronco
09-30-2005, 07:39 PM
With a receiver, and anchor points, the cost is $350, made from 4 x 4 x .188" box tube, with .250" mounting plates

wookie1562
09-30-2005, 08:14 PM
How 'bout just hooks, no hitch. shipped to 63011 Ballwin, MO?

Bill@setel.com
09-30-2005, 08:16 PM
Can you do the first bumper style with a receiver? ala Big Mikeish

Can you add a tire mount to either bumper?

ToddACimer
09-30-2005, 10:24 PM
The one on Todd's truck will sell for $350. The first one shown sells for $750

I can get you rough dimensions as well as suggest that you make it slightly wider. Otherwise I'd say $350 is an awesome deal.

Davids78Bronco
10-01-2005, 03:06 AM
Sorry Joe, somehow, I missed your question - frequent buyer discount? Yeah, I think I can make that a possibility

wookie, same rear bumper, two anchor points, cost is $285. You ARE referring to the one with the hi-lift jack, right? That's the same one as the bumper directly above it - simple, tapered, but built to accomodate the hi-lift

Bill, yes, and yes

Todd, being 75" wide, I'm really not interested in making them any wider, but thanks for the suggestion

Joes93Bronco
10-01-2005, 08:04 PM
i too am wantin the big mike-ish style with a built in reciever ala this one:

http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=327&stc=1&d=1105324089

cept with no air.

maybe we can set sumthin up like last time.(cept have it go my way this time :duh)

did you move closer or further from me? i dont remember.

I was thinking of something like this for the front.

http://www.superford.org/getfile.php?id=111907&toggle=fullsize&f=DSCF0023.JPG
http://www.superford.org/getfile.php?id=111891&toggle=fullsize&f=DSCF0007.JPG

http://www.superford.org/getfile.php?id=111894&toggle=fullsize&f=DSCF0010.JPG

I think it could stand to be a little narrower from top to bottom, and I would want the sides cut further forward. Other than that, I think I've found a winner.

How spendy are we talking for something similar?

Joe, the picture isn't showing up :shrug

Derrick, one similar to that would be about $650. My second picture sold for that much, and the one you're wanting is fairly close to the same design

Just built a bolt-on prerunner bumper this weekend, for BadBlueOval

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/249603/fullsize/prerunner-bolt-on2.JPG

Naturally, this is built to bolt onto the stock front bumpers, for the 78-9 years. When I receive Travis' Bronco in a couple weeks, I'm going to see about building one for the 87-91 years.

Price for this one, is $325, includes one pair of light tabs. Shipping will be easy... dang thing only weighs about 20-25lbs

Wierd, I still can't, but now I know what you're talking about. While I won't copy anyone's design, I can build something similar. I have another design in mind. When I get around to it, perhaps I'll post a drawing of it, see what you think

bigeddie
10-06-2005, 01:31 PM
Hey, David. When you do one like this for the 87-91s be sure to post some pics. I'd like to get one. I can't find anyone else (company) that makes them. :beer

Dang, Bryan, that looks better with the paint on it. :thumbup

I am looking for Big Mike-ish type with a tire carrier, hitch, and clevis mounts.
Hang tight, I'm STILL building one for runnin&gunnin. His will include a different latch (than the one that blew apart on Blaze), and will use a gas strut, to hold the tire carrier open

BadBlueOval
10-14-2005, 12:23 PM
Well Dave I will have to say it held together pertty good last night.I hit a deer on my way to work and all it did was scrape some paint off.I hit him doing 60mph and ran over him.No damage to the bumper nor the Bronco.

junedick
10-14-2005, 12:27 PM
Those DAMN DEER (just like it's written in my sig).

Glad you are ok.:thumbup

BadBlueOval
10-14-2005, 02:09 PM
If I wasnt late to work,hense the 60mph,I would have went back to look for him.I knew it was a buck because all I saw was horns before I hit him.

just the bumper w/ hitch and clevis mounts for me......but can you set the bumper up so you can build the carrier later and we can just attach it?

Get pictures! You didn't clean it already, did you?


Joe, not really, because of the way the hinge is made. If you're adament (sp) about it, I could, but the tire carrier would about 2-3" beyond the bumper... not really the makings for a good looking bumper, IMO. Ideally, the two are built together

how much would a bumper like the on ein theis pic run me??

http://www.photodump.com/direct/89StockBronc/bumperidea.jpg


its just something i wipped up in zmod a few min ago. exactly the same except maybe for some front attatchemt points for a 87-91 body style. please excuse the fact that its not perfect

Davids78Bronco
10-17-2005, 02:08 AM
Right about $450

i'd like the exact type, same dimensions. it's close to your sec pic in the first post, but not quite. i like the drop down center and the integrated winch. can you make it exact?

i was wondering if you are willing to make one just like this one for me and if the cost would still be $650-ish?


thanks,
mike

Davids78Bronco
10-23-2005, 04:43 PM
Patented ideas and designs, or not, I make a serious effort in trying not to copy anyone's designs. If that's what you're wanting, all I can do, is say I'll ask for permission to build that. If permission is not granted, I can modify one of my other bumpers, to come as close to what you're wanting, as possible. One definite change, will be the anchor points... I don't use D-rings, but rather weld-on anchor points, in which you'll use your clevis shackle for any recoveries

looks almost exactly like my Warn classic winch bumper. i plan on keepin the winch center section but was gonna ask David for some ideas on modding the sides for more clearance/protection.

or just some other design for the front. i want clearance mostly, good recovery attachments and winch mount.

whatcha think Dave?

Davids78Bronco
10-23-2005, 06:16 PM
If you're wanting more clearance, start from the beginning, and let's mount that winch as close to behind the grill as pissible - much the same as Todd and Tim, had me build for Todd's bronco

Davids78Bronco
10-28-2005, 09:33 PM
What are you asking him for? Offering to build him one?

Mike, I see the picture now... the price is the same, and includes onepair of light tabs. Any more, are ordered as an option, at $25/pr

10-28-2005, 09:38 PM
me build one...no. just wanted to know the price cause I am interested in one like that as well.

Davids78Bronco
10-28-2005, 11:12 PM
Alright, well, the base rear bumper is $225. Options for that are: Anchor points - $75/pr, recessed hitch - $75. The tire carrier is $325. . Options for that are: auxilliary light mount - $15, CB antenna mount - $15, gas can mount - $65

Davids78Bronco

BigStickDaddy
11-18-2005, 10:40 PM
Thats a frickin awesome bumper but I would have pay out the a$$ to ship across the US. Let me see what I can get done locally and then get back to you.

Davids78Bronco
11-18-2005, 11:13 PM
I do offer two payment plans (used to be three):

half down, with the balance, plus shipping, due upon completion

half down, with the balance, plus shipping, due within 30 days of completion - altho, everyone's been able to pay the balance soon after I finish, because of how long it takes me to fill an order

If you can provide me with a zip code for a business address, I could, at least, get you a shipping estimate

ElkyRacer
11-19-2005, 03:55 AM
Hey David, Id like to pick your brain a bit here. Whats the BIGGEST HEAVIEST bumper you have made for a newer FSB? Do you know how much it weighed in at? Im trying to do some figuring up.

Thanks!
Kyle

PS, Ill be saving up for one of those loaded rear bumpers!

11-19-2005, 01:23 PM
Thats super nice David. Great job. someday i will have one of those.

Davids78Bronco
11-19-2005, 01:44 PM
biggest and heaviest? That's hard to answer, since I've been building bumpers for these guys, for almost two years now (off and on, really). Most large bumpers come in at around 150lbs. That rear bumper and tire carrier weighed in close to 165lbs

Accessory Man
11-20-2005, 03:37 PM
I was wondering what the price of a rear bumper like the one above would be, but much simpler in design, no tire carrier, no hitch, just the plain bumper, with the 2 welded shackle mounts. Shipped to Pa Zip code 19135. It would be a commercial address (were I work) And I would pay with paypal. Please let me know when you can, and approximately how long it would take. I know you are busy and thank you in advance for your time

Davids78Bronco
11-20-2005, 05:25 PM
The basic rear bumper, with just the anchor points, comes to $265, and shipping comes right close to $95

11-20-2005, 09:24 PM
I'm wanting something like this, with 4 light tabs on top (Or two on top and two on the bottom). I have a tube grill so I can't use the setup where two bars attach to my radiator support. I know you don't care to copy right so you can add a lil' sumin sumin to state that it came from you.

(Mainly looking for price quotes)
Thanks,
Zane
Oh yeah, it's for a 78

Davids78Bronco
11-20-2005, 09:26 PM
I didn't do that, simply because the tire carrier covers practically everything. But, if just the rear bumper was ordered, I could certainly accomodate that

Davids78Bronco
11-20-2005, 09:35 PM
[FONT="Times New Roman"]I'm wanting something like this,...
I assume you're wanting the winch mount, also? I've given that design alot of thought, and while it's a good enough bumper by itself, I feel it can be brought closer to the grill, so for the most part, that's going to be the major change I make. Other changes will include a full winch mounting PLATE, and a different gusseting at the bumper wings. So, because of the extra material required, and the changes made, the price is going to be $695

Swampwalker3
11-20-2005, 10:11 PM
I like the distance of the bumper, but I never plan to run a winch.

Davids78Bronco
11-21-2005, 09:12 AM
That will bring down the price to about $595, then

Accessory Man
11-21-2005, 10:56 AM
The basic rear bumper, with just the anchor points, comes to $265, and shipping comes right close to $95

How long would it take to make? I know you are working on other projects is why I ask. I could send $200 VIA paypal right away, the rest soon

Davids78Bronco
11-21-2005, 09:31 PM
I'm scheduled until after the new year. I have a cargo rack, front leaf spring crossmember, rear bumper/tire carrier, and possibly 3 pre-runner style winch bumpers, all going on right now. Unless you really don't mind parting with it, and letting it sit in paypal for a couple months, I would discourage sending any money just yet,

Accessory Man
11-21-2005, 10:31 PM

11-22-2005, 03:06 AM
I'm very interested as well, out of all the pics in this thread i like the bumper on the box bronco the best!! If i did sign up for bumpers, i would need a front bumper similar to that one, and a rear bumper with tire carrier big anough to house a 42. Or a 44 just to be safe :-) I dont know if this has been asked, but what kinda of guarantee's do you have?

Davids78Bronco
11-22-2005, 11:23 PM
guarantees? :toothless These are offroad, aftermarket products. I don't offer any guarantees, or warranties, for anything I build.


... the bumper on the box bronco. Umm, which one is that? :shrug

I can build the rear bumper's tire carrier to hold your 44, but it's going to cost extra. I try to suggest limiting my carriers to no larger than 38s. Any bigger than that, and I have to build the carrier's a bit differently

Hey David,

I asked you b4 about making a bumper that fit the contours of the rear better. You said that the one that was built for runnin & gunnin was made wider so the swing away tire carrier would fit.

Would it be possible to design a bumper similar to runnin&gunnin's, that fit the rear contours better(like the bottom pic from Mike2), but instead of having a swing away tire carrier, have a fold down tire carrier, that mounted right about where your attach fittings mount? That way, it could fold down--out of the way of the tailgate, plus for taller lifts(like I'm working on) it would bring the spare down to a more reasonable height.

So, you'd rather lift 130+ lbs of tire and carrier, rather than swing it, just to get it out of the way of the tailgate? I also don't see how the fold-down carrier will bring the tire down to a more reasonable height. What am I to do? hang the tire from the bumper??? :shrug

Alright, getting back on track ...
While I could still design the carrier to accomodate that, it would cost way more than it's worth. So, because of that, I'm just going to stick with using a gas strut for the swing-away

As I am still waiting my turn for a super rear bumper, I did have one more question. How wide are the tabs the clevis hooks attach to? I am hoping they are an inch wide since I just picked up 4 clevis, powder coated in black with a 1 7/8" Gap. I am really hoping my turn comes soon :popc1:

Davids78Bronco
12-30-2005, 04:07 AM
Yes, the anchor points are 1" wide. You turn is coming around about as fast as I can make it happen. Finishing a rear bumper/tire carrier now, have two more orders, then it could be you

And thanks for your patience :thumbup

I like the look of your swing away better tho.

Davids78Bronco
12-30-2005, 01:05 PM
What do you mean, "stay as close to the edges"? You mean are the ends of the bumper going to be where Ironclad's are? Yes

How could it not work with my carrier design? You mean is the latch and the catch for it going to get in the way of the tailgate? No, it won't

I agree with derrick. Im looking to go to something like this. Just a little narrower. Still around 650? How bout the bumper like you built with the swing out tire carrier,shackle mounts, and antenna mount? Package deal? Obviously all for an 86.If you call me about the electrical this weekend, we can talk then, or pm me ill call you.

How difficult would it be to build something very similar to this pic:

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8365/fordbumper026wo.jpg

I have a much larger image if needed.

I realise you say you will not copy a design, and that's cool, but would you be able to do something very similar to this?

This will be going on the front of a 93 F150. I would like to get a rear with a similar style, as well as some tube sliders, but am mainly interested in the front bumper for now.

I'd like to know a total guestimate on the build, as well as timeframe, thanks.

Shipping would be to 75023, or Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX area.

Davids78Bronco
01-02-2006, 11:06 PM
W/o having a truck here, to model from, that style will be difficult to build for. Those anchor points appear to be using the frame horn. GUESStimated cost on that would be about (!) $550, plus $125 for shipping. Timeframe? I hope you're not in a hurry, I have two orders now, and a potential two more in waiting. It would be closer to the end of february, before I would accept anymore orders.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I kinda figured it'd be difficult to make without having the actual truck to use as a guide, but you know your abilities more than I do. I'm definitely in no hurry for anything, and that price is a bit over my budget as it stands currently.

I did notice, and think that's cool that you offer that option. I think you're the only person I've seen offering such a service that does not go through a credit service. :thumbup

Just to give you an idea, my ideal budget for a front bumper is in the 300-350 range before any necessary shipping costs. So 600-675 range is kinda stretching it a bit, but I am definitely keeping you in mind, especially with the payment options you offer. We'll just have to see how good the next two months are for me financially...

David,

Can you do something basic for the rear......just need "a" bumper back there, got the spare tire carrier on the truck, so i don't need something extravagant, maybe some pull points. Ideas? and How much?

And for the front i would like something just as basic, that follows the curves of the OEM bumper, with a winch mount?

Let me know.

01-12-2006, 12:02 AM
You betcha. In fact, I'm building a rear bumper just the way you're wanting, for Accessory Man. I should be done with it by the middle of next week

The front bumper can be built to match quite easily. But, before I commit to that one, I'm trying to design it, so a winch can actually be used, and not get pulled from the frame. And I need to design it, so a guy with basic tools can install it at home. I have a feeling that alot of the design, will come from Rafa's :shrug

The frame on a 92-96 really sucks. I couldnt think of a good way with out welding all new brackets. The stock brackets are useless and shouldnt be used if at all possible. I'd highly recommend a weld on bracket

$725 total for both bumpers.

David,
what is the length and width of your bumpers? can you make a bumper with an inset for a license plate? i am wanting one of your bumpers with a inset plate on the drivers side,2 inch reciever in center and maybe an anchor point or light on the passenger side. also wanting it to work with a hi lift jack.
Let me know what you think,
Kenny

Davids78Bronco
01-16-2006, 04:18 PM
75" wide, built with 6 x 4 rectangle tubing. I don't do any inset license plates, but rather weld in 1/4 - 20 couplers, to bolt the license plate too, with lights on both sides. I can't include a Hi-Lift mount, with the anch points. Not W/O a tire carrier. All said and done, the rear bumper comes to $390, plus shipping to a business address

Accessory Man
01-16-2006, 04:25 PM
I had not planned on license plate provisions myself, I have already made arangements to mount my license plate, and I have my hitch wiring, and tag lights ready to go just so when my bumper arrives it will be on the truck same day, painted and legal. I alrady have primer, paint, clevises, shiny new plate fram and smoke cover, security bolts (which I planned on tapping holes for in the bumper), and a nice freshly painted pintle hitch to fill in the ugly empty hitch since I won't need the clevis in there anymore.

I am very excited :toothless

01-25-2006, 04:52 PM
49507, right? Shipping is going to be close to $135 FedEx Ground. I can't guess on the exact size, so I tried to guess high, for both weight, and size. Once it's built, I can get a more accurate shipping quote, and I'll refund any balance.

When/If you're ready, let me know anytime, and we can get things started

Sending it to the Maint. Dept? That would be fine, so long as they're willing to accept it. I only asked about the 49057 because I didn't have one to go by, and just looked it up real quick. Shipping to either is only a 10 dollar difference, I'd just have to have the business name, to address it too, and I'll just add "Attn: Paul _____" to the address.

Big Rapids, Mi 49307


BTW just to add some clarity from your reply to shadowfox I assume you're wanting the winch mount, also? I've given that design alot of thought, and while it's a good enough bumper by itself, I feel it can be brought closer to the grill, so for the most part, that's going to be the major change I make. Other changes will include a full winch mounting PLATE, and a different gusseting at the bumper wings.

As i mentiod i ddin't need the winch mount as i would make up one for my custom winch setup i am doing.

Also don't worry about making the top hoop/tube, where that one has the lights, too tall as i have a 3"bl on my truck also (plus thats the reason i like that style bumper) ....Or you can try to accomodate it into the bumper, what ever works....

Great work! Can't wait till I have the money to get new bumpers now. By the way, I couldn't tell if you answered this already. If I ordered a front AND rear bumper would you give a discount? Your bumpers seem pretty well priced anyhow, just curious because of my own financial imparements while I'm still in school. Hopefully a day will come when I'm not so concerned with ways to save a penny. Oh yeah I was also wondering if you make sliders and if you do what if I ordered both bumpers and a set of sliders at the same time? Would like to have them all look like they are built together and what better way than to have them all built together? :P Cheesy...whatever. Anyhow, just curious about stuff. Awesome work.

Pantsman, if you ordered all three items from me, at the same time, then yes, I can offer a discount. If you were able to leave me your Bronco, while I build these, this would make for the best fit possible. Not to say that I still couldn't, just that this way makes doubly sure. Also, keep my paypment options in mind too, when deciding what style of bumpers you're wanting


Kyle, that one sells with two different prices, depending on which layout you're wanting. No winch mount, $350. With a winch mount, $425. Plus shipping to a business address

Hey, that'd be even better...Didn't realize you are in oregon...would much rather just leave the bronc with you and get it back with everything all on it anyhow. Maybe I can save up enough money this summer and haul down there with the moto in the back (still have to see if it'll fit I guess). Wow, that makes me want to do it even more... May have just became more of a priority than a lift and tires...maybe... Does it matter how you build it if I'm planning a suspension lift and maybe (but probably not) a small body lift later? Can't imagine suspension would matter since it'd lift the whole frame...Body lift might though from what I understand if your bumper attaches to the frame. Anyhow, I'll start saving now! :P

Davids78Bronco
03-31-2006, 02:51 PM
If you do decide on the body lift, I would like to have you install that, before you bring it down. Everything else can be done in whichever order you choose too. So, whenever you get around to it, show me the bumpers you want, and I'll give you a total price on the package deal

How much for this bumper with the tire carrier, d ring mounts, cb antenna mount, and receiver hitch? I would need for the carrier portion to be set up to hold a 35" tire with a 2005 F250 wheel on it (8 lug). What does your turn around look like right now. I have cash in full and this would look great on my 95 centurion with 2005 running gear. Let me know.

tire carrier on a prerunner bumper is more difficult, but not impossible

warbird1239
07-08-2006, 10:22 PM
Dave, I made a mistake:banghead I would like the prerunner for the front and a rear bumper with tire carrier and jerry can storage. Sorry for the mixup.

Davids78Bronco
07-09-2006, 12:35 AM
Ok, that's no problem, either... except for the time frame. As i've stated, I'm booked well into August, but am hoping to start making further serious progress, and get them finished by this month's end *crosses fingers*

A prerunner bumper will run you anywhere from $350 on up to about $650 - most designs are closer to $350-450 tho. Rear bumper and tire carrier, by themselves, will run $600. Options will include a receiver, anchor mounts, gas can mount, hi-lift mount

All this is to be shipped to a business address.


Thanks for the interest

Davids78Bronco
09-12-2006, 03:38 PM
Yeah, sorry about that. That one will run $545, plus shipping to a business address. Keep in mind, that one sets the winch back into the grill. So, if that's not what you're wanting, changes will have to be made, affecting the price

biggrbbronco96
09-13-2006, 03:21 PM
Yea I can see what you mean about the grill-- I would rather have the bumper as close to the body as possible kind of like the on Dustin built for his Bronco ( You can see a pic of the bumper on his vendor thread Rock Sliders 80-96) I want the bronco to have a "pre-runner" look -almost- So no winch I'll just do somthing else with it--thanks :box0715:

Davids78Bronco
09-13-2006, 04:09 PM
I can make a design change, to allow the use of a winch, if you'd like. It'll only add a few bucks to the price of the bumper - maybe 10-15 bucks

biggrbbronco96
09-13-2006, 09:41 PM
Id like it to have a spot for a winch but, can you keep the bumper CLOSE to the body if you add a spot for a winch? If so then yeah--id love to mount a winch and fairfeild roller on the byumper:wacko What do you think a rear tube bumper w/ tire carrier more like spyder custom's rear trail bumper would cost?

Davids78Bronco
09-14-2006, 12:28 AM
Because I'd be building the rear stinger-tire carrier as part of the bumper, instead of an add-on that Spyder shows, the price will be $790. And that will include the license plate mount with lights. Options for that will be: recessed receiver, anchor mounts, hi-lift mount and cb antenna/aux light tabs

biggrbbronco96
09-14-2006, 05:44 PM
Okay cool, I'll keep the rear bumper in mind--but for now i'll just wait untill you have the time to build the front-about how long do you think it will be untill your caught up enough to start on teh bumper I would like>? thanks :popc1:

Sorry about this, Rodolfo, I've been even more busy than I have been. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you out. Building a cage isn't as cut and dry as most would think. Not for me anyway


I need to take this oppportunity to thank everyone for their continued interest in having me build bumpers for them. However, I've been behind for SO long, I have neighbors constantly asking for help, and I've started looking for a house (finally!) that I'm afraid I won't be able to accept anymore orders until further notice. The poeple I've built, and have been building, bumpers for have been increasingly irritated, and rightfully so. I've asked for help, in an effort to get caught up, but no one can weld the way I want it done. I couldn't even get one guy to do my grinding for me, without gouging out my welds. My updates have fallen behind, my time has been spread thin, and I still can't find those 30 hour days

I'm sorry, folks, but I need to take care of the current orders, that I've fallen behind on, first. I'm going to build bumpers, but won't take new orders, until I get caught up. Thanks for everyone's understanding.

I decided to build my own front bumper -- but at the suggestion of others--I am thinking about letting someone else make my rear bumper (or buy and alter it form poison spyder) I was wanting to double check---Is the price still the same as below + What is the cost of the hi-jack carrier and 2 anchor mounts In addition (what would the bumper that you would build look like)?-- and what would the cost be for just the carrier--I would mount it to square (rectangular) tubing-- I would still want the lisence plate as syder has it and I would also want the hi-jack mount


Because I'd be building the rear stinger-tire carrier as part of the bumper, instead of an add-on that Spyder shows, the price will be $790. And that will include the license plate mount with lights. Options for that will be: recessed receiver, anchor mounts, hi-lift mount and cb antenna/aux light tabs

I joined ot try to get a hold of you.

Am looking for an update on my fornt an rear bumper with the features i ordered, and rock slider with powder coating on all (Gloss black or as close as possible) order for my 1979 bronco, (pre paid).

Havent heard from you in while and this order as you know has been with for quite a while.

Please PM me, email me telephone me, throw a carrier pigoen out your window to me, hire punks to spray paint the message on my house, etc. something, so i can make finail delievery arrangements or at least get a shipping or completion date.

Pictures of what you have done and drawing of these bumpers as they are going to be made with the ordered features would be nice too.

I have heard you have delays, but before i get flamed by people i have been waiting a very lonnnggg time for these. ( not going into it here it will just cause grief and that is not waht i want i just want my order asap).

I need some feedback here.

I guess the only positive thing here is that in a few months we can have an anniversary. :toothless

Please PM, email, rock w/paper wrapped around it- whatever.

Thanks
Thomas

David,
I have sent you several emails, posted several requests on here. I have also been in contact with several other people, who have received responses from you, while I have not.

I gave you 1/2 security deposit on 12/15/06. I also gave you several other payments, because it seemed you were short on money, and I liked your product- for a total of 1000.00.

You have repeatedly blown off getting back to me on deadlines that YOU HAVE SET. In other words, for people reading this, because I am sure someone wants to give me their opinion, David has told me he was several welds away from finishing three or four times, and that he would let me know in a week or two. These deadlines have come and gone, and no action, no phone calls, no emails, no nothing sent to me to let me know what is going on unless I INITIATED IT.

I may not be that quick on the uptake, but I would say without a doubt, and by reading other emails, that you have made other bumpers first and blown me off, and now due to circumstances beyond your control, may not have the materials, and or the money to fill my order.

You have said repeatedly that you are almost done. My request for pictures has gone unanswered, as if I never even asked for it. The one picture I did get was a generic picture of the latching mechanism you would be using. Great, super, how about a picture of the product you are supposedly making for your client.

And that is what is comes down to. I am a client of yours, that needs to speak to the management, the complaint dept., etc. You have not fulfilled any of the obligations you said you would.

To those of you who are reading this, I am not the only one. So if you are thinking about also becoming one of david's clients, you may want to re-think it, no matter how sweet it looks in the picture, when you don't recieve it, it is not very sweet at all.

You would be better off giving your money to someone you don't know to invest it, no matter how hare-brained the scheme, because you would get feedback on it, negative or positive, it would still be feedback.

DAVID, I need a reply, an email, an explanation, a phone call. I need something to re-assure me that I have not been taken to the cleaners- or hustled. I need to know when I am recieving a product, or if I am getting my money back, or I am going to do something about it. I am done screwing around with this.

please see this thread for any information or possible updates (http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102842), Davids vendor status has been temporarily suspended until he can catch up with his orders and better communicate with his customers.

Please be advised that although we at FSB will do what we can to help you, David and his business is in no way affiliated with FSB, please direct your communication to David directly either via PM, email or other contact information you may have for him but dont hesitate to contact me with any questions, I'll try to do what I can, however, that is extremely limited at this point.

I feel confident that David will come through for those who he owes either products or possible refunds, hopefully he will be online soon or in communication with those customers who are waiting.

Thank you for your understanding,

Joe
