OMG, I was figuring around $3000. I think I'll keep my crappy old rusted bumper for now!

Yikes.....I figured front bumpers are around $2,200k, rear is more complicated and larger so $3500'ish, but $6k and add shipping....it's a great looking and functional bumper but I'll pass right now.

Mark, thank you for looking into. Let us know if you decide to move forward with it.

"Cake pans" are looking good 8-)

Mark, thanks for looking into this. It's nice to know the option exists, even if I'll probably not take it. (Darn, would be so nice!)

ouch, im in the same boat as everyone else who has commented, was expecting the 2-3 neighborhood. That's kinda a bummer buts is awesome you looked into this and was able to keep everybody in the loop about it. I think for that kinda dough I can straighten out the kink in mine :lol: . The biggest draw for me was having the little extra outside storage and on-board air, but I think I can accomplish that more economically and sacrifice the look.

I think if there are enough of you guys, it might be worth getting a quote for a larger lot. Setup is costly when it comes to fabrication, so if they can run ten or so, I'd bet their price would drop significantly. Everything from procuring raw material, detailing, painting, etc. gets cheaper with increased volume. But that price almost sounds like a no-quote (they don't want to do it so they throw a fat price at you to make you go away). Affective strategy commonly used.

Not worth it even at half that amount. If you look around you can find a local fabricator that will build you one to your own specs for $1500 and possibly less depending on his experience.

Too bad on the high price. Guess it’s time to bolt some ammo cans onto the stock bumper!
