    Yeah shipping to the East Coast on the full bumper is $150 so I'm hoping for at least half that. Looks like he normally does 20% off on his holiday sales too so that would be $458 shipped :eek:

    Edit: It's $97.77 for the DIY bumper so $480.97 shipped for the base model

    It would be just under $1,000 for an aluminum plate shipped with 20% off.... Tempting... But I need to buy new rear shocks too....

    I know its a big weight savings but I feel like the aluminum would dent and gouge really bad.. is this not the case? How thick is it?

    It's 1/4" aluminum versus 3/16" steel. It is a softer metal so it will gouge easier, but doubtful that it would dent any worse than a steel bumper.

    He's using 5000 series aluminum. It's not your soft aluminum like 3000 series. We use 5000 and 6000 series aluminum at work for structural supports for over head signs. It's still not as hard as steel but your not going to mess it up to bad. I dropped a 6x6x25ftx1/8" 6000 series square tube at work the other week from 5ft and it landed on the corner and maybe dented it a 1/16". And his bumpers at twice as thick as the tube I dropped
