    I'd like to see it sometime when it's finished. I have always been a fan of your products. I think you have "real" vision when it comes to the look and functionality of your bumpers as they look great on the trucks and are as stout, if not stouter than the competitions. You're a real talented group of peeps, I just wish the timeframe was a little shorter. I own a small business and know how important it is to produce the best results with the smallest crew possible, but I honestly think you guys need to amp up your overhead and marketing, because from what I've seen, your products should be in very high demand. If you're looking for investors, there are options, but I know it's nice to be small and not have the stress load also.

    Eric is one of the best fabricators I've come across. I just got my sliders from him and the welds are killer. It's harder to tell on mine because of the Linex but it's still possible. Such good quality takes some time.

    I'll have to get a couple pics of it from my wife. I used the truck pictured above to mock up all the tube styles, she has pictures on her DSLR to be edited for our website so those will certainly be posted pretty soon.
    Our products certainly in demand, hence our lead times. As it is there are 4 of us at the shop building parts currently, I hope to add a couple more guys with the larger shop to speed things up more, that should be happening in about 2mo from now

    Found some pics of the Brute. Not sure if I like them or not, can't see it from the side well enough. That's the other thing tho too. I'm what you might call height challenged to some degree and one of the things I liked about the old Bull Bar is that I could see it from the driver's seat with no problem, so I knew where my corners were, which is nice when you're going through tight trees. I know the seats are low in these new trucks, so I might have to address that first. It wouldn't be the first time I gave my seats a lift kit!

    For the most part she handles it for me, as well as taking and editing marketing images.

    With the 'Predator tube' on our front for the '16 you can just see the tops of the tube from the drivers seat. I'm with you there, I like to know where the front/corners are for tight quarters maneuvering. :thubmsup:

    And the fabricating, and running the business... Let's face it Eric. We all know you're just a figurehead and she's the real fabricator behind the scenes! :rofl:

    I'm actually kinda digging that too! It comes out from the bottom of the grill a few inches. I like that! :thumbsup:
