    Because there is more to it then just bent tube. Notching on different angles is some of the hardest things to be done on tube bumpers. You only have one shot to get it right. A custom bumper plate or tube will cost you. Now with a tube bumper with a winch is even more just because there is a lot of adjustments being made for that. You can always look around online for a already made one. There are a lot of 2nd gen tube bumpers that I've seen and they look awesome. To be honest Insain was a big help to helping me with my custom design. But like gramps said they are tied up at the moment. I'm pretty sure they will get back to you as soon as they can. It's been late nights over there. They are hard workers.
    Another thing about tube bumpers they are not made over night. Most tube bumpers are special order. So most fab shops are going to need a few weeks to fab up and get shipped to you. There are cookie cutter bumpers out there for cheap. Good luck and I hope you find what your looking for.

    Don't be fooled by all the talk round here about expensive grills and eggs and wood chips.... I don't care what you cook on if your technique is weak... come at me brob0581e185bfd3607227fe0638f0b206e_d6db93d52b5813fa550af8ee640c0174a535ccbb.jpg

    Long story. Drove 3 hrs to meet them, lasted about 10 min before my wife ended up getting bit breaking up a fight between our Tango and another dog. Complete lack of respect. (You have to know Tango to understand this). So then we drove another 3 hours home.

    Neat thing was catching Denver area fireworks display coming up Santa Fe from the south. Crazy how many fireworks there were.

    I'm sure you know this..... but antibiotics.

    I had the same thing happen years ago and my thumb swelled up huge before I got antibiotics. Dog saliva = no good in the blood stream.
    Best to you and Petra

    Looking for a spot to hike that's not too far from us (Thornton) as I will have a 2yo and 8yo in tow...
    We've done Eldorado, Red Rocks, Lair O' Bear, Staunton.
