    I agree, but I think you and a few others are going to hold the weight with opinions on the product.

    If I wasn't wanting a lighter bumper I would pull the trigger as well. Just don't want that extra weight up front.

    Wow.

    Bumpers being copied I don't really care. Misleading/shady sellers, if this is true in OP case then I won't do business with.

    I will only consider this a "scam" if I don't receive what I ordered. I do agree that is shady business practice and I will be calling for an explanation

    I wouldn't call it a scam just yet, but shady shenanigans for sure.

    Thinking the OP knew he would get slammed for promoting an AP knockoff, so he went about it in a different piss poor way.

    Mock phone call to John, John was very reassuring and comforted him into making the purchase, crossing fingers in hopes of not getting ripped off. Quite comical in hindsight lol.

    If this does end up being AP's supplier, his has been planned for awhile as they stopped cuttting their logo and stock piled inventory. You don't powder coat and then cut their logo in.

    I wanted to ask about the March post because I wanted to buy the bumper , but needed further clarification on what OP was running on his Taco?
    Obviously if he had steering rack/tie rod issues a plate bumper only complicates that. Then the existing all pro bumper quote showed up.
    Let's get some transparency and leave the product and testers/buyers offer up their opinion. At 6 sold that's already 3600.00.
