    $1400 for that tiny chunk of metal? Less than $150 worth of material... Not even full protection. Double the price of other slim/half bumpers. Does it come with a trash can so I can throw the rest of my money away lol

    We're all entitled to an opinion here. Just stating mine based on observations. So yes I am serious. One of the simplest bumpers I've seen and it cost damn near as much as a swing out. Add the fact that it's mig welded... Yeah... I'll leave it at that. I built 2 full plate bumpers myself for 1/8th of this price.

    Good for you, but maybe you should get familiar with the rules of the market place before you start throwing around your "opinion" in here. Have a good day.

    To each their own.

    Sounds like your getting a slamming deal on material lol

    Apparently you don't understand what kind of time and attention goes into each bumper I build.


    Sounds again like you're speaking from a place of ignorance.

    I'm sure the bumpers you built function and look "fine"

    I've built about a hundred bumpers since I stated in welding back in 2004.

    I started because I couldn't afford or understand why people charged so much and now I completely understand lol

    I know it's not TIG but I still think my MIG welds look good ;)

    You don't know my profession. The bumpers do look dope and your welds are solid as well as your craftsmanship. Just stating my opinion, not knocking your hustle.

    Yes, yes you did, read your remarks above. If you can do better show us Mr perfect bumper welder. And show us the $150 in recipes..... What a tool. A dull useless tool.

    If you work on multi million dollars homes as a fabricator you tend to have free material laying around. Also... $150 dollar recipes must make for some damn good meals lol I'm over this. Said what I said, gave my opinion. Bumper is sold, move on or DM me.
