    Anybody know anything about this company? Rep? Build quality?
    $1,150.00 plus shipping with 8-10 wk lead time.

    Looks better than ARB or Shrockworks IMO but I have no other info on them.

    Latest blog post on the homepage says "Coming Soon - Toyota Tacoma armor". Date is January 9, 2011...It's been 4 years since then. If nobody has heard of them, I'd stay away.

    Yeah seen that tired thread before and have been researching bumpers for the last couple of months. They all look pretty hokey to me with the ARB and Shrockworks looking the least hokey.

    I got a subscription on Clubfrontier.org :eek:because there appears to be some activity in sales up to the beginning of the year from Hefty to Frontier owners.

    I hope to get some feedback from that forum. Of course I know to filter out the Datsun B.S. and I know that those guys are subpar examples of cool truck owners unlike a Taco driver.:D

    I will post my findings here.
