So when the front bumper will be available "just for me",and what the price range is gonna be?
and how much is gonna weight+/-?
sorry I ask to many questions!
THANKS A LOT.

Just for you:
The price is still TBD. We stilll have to make a few mods to make instalation easier. It is made out of 3/16 steel and 1/4 winch plate. It is a bit heavy but very strong. We lifted both front wheels off the ground, using the whinch and it did it without any problems.

Thanks so much for asking, we are honored just by the interest.

for the front:if I say will be on the market by the end of the summer, sounds
realistic? did you ever think making tha light bar out of round pipe,let's say
1-1/2 std sq 40 and instead of bending it,miter it at 45* and do bavel and full pen weld so can be grounded smooth leaving the sharp look.
that will look different,nobody else does it!
ANYWAY THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO!

Which would you prefer?

I would like to see what the cobra would look like with the modifications you mentioned. I am fairly certain that's the direction I want.

I wanted to know if you could make one with this skull on it to match my jack mounts and future diff covers.

On this one, our logo will be replaced by a design to incorporate LEDs

OK, I guess I will say it.

That front bumper looks VERY similar to HD Customs' Edge and Nemesis' front bumpers:

And you rear bumper DEF has HD Customs lines to it:

Hello Alasha,

HD Customs and Nemesis are both great companies and have some great products and designs. Their designs are definitely proving that there is a new trend in the market with a more steathy look to it. We have been working on our bumpers for over a year now with different revision and we now feel that we have reached a point where we would like to get constructive feedback from the member of this forum.

Both of our bumpers are in the "prototype" stage and I think we can all agree that there are similarities in many of the product on the market today, as you have just pointed out between the HDC, Nemesis and our bumpers. This is a trend we find in every industry.

On a final note we feel honored and humbled to be put in the same category as these two great companies.

Thank you

Alex

I thought the same thing when I saw them. You know what they say though. Imitation is one of the best forms of compliment.

In business though you definitely look for trends and have to follow those to be successful. Look at television. How many singing or dance competition shows are on now?

Felt like I could put this in this thread, cuz it was mentioned here before.

I bought a CB antenna mount from Desert Snake last week, 15 Bucks, its cheaper than anywhere I found, and I really couldn't justify the pain to make one myself when there was a sweet one for just 15 bones.

This thing is quality for sure.

And it is made so you can mount it from any corner of your tire carrier holes. If you are still using the tire carrier, it will fit behind it nicely from either of the top corners. I'm nekkid in the back, so here it is with the Poison Spyder Tramp Stamp.

Just wanted to shout out to Desert Snake, and show off a quality piece that these guys make.

Thanks.

What an amazingly small world we live in. If we turned my Jeep around we would find Hitmoney's previous Red Rock Fab front bumper.

Any paint matching options?

DesertSnake · 06-13-2011, 09:53 PM

We could send one in raw metal form, and you can have a local body paint shop color match the plate.

bodybrdng · 06-20-2011, 05:26 PM

How much for a plate, with mesh, and a CB antenna mount?

also how much is this too? How far out does it come from the tail gate?
