Cheap Bumpers on eBay!!

has anyone weighed these bumpers yet? don't want to read through all the nonsense.
whats the weight of the bumper and lower bracket?

 

You can answer your own question.

 

Yep, check the shipping weight on your two packages. Seems they varied between us.

 

just got mine installed and you are right lower bracket was a bitch took 3 of us 7hs. to notch out and line up all the bolt holes.I reached out to John at works off road to tell him that it was far from straight bolt on. I found him to be more than helpful to offer advice and tips to help with install. Went with body armor rear bumper so I could keep factory hitch,one hour install. I am happy with how both front and rear bumpers turned out

 

opps forgot pictures

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that the ALL-PRO hitch works with the rear bumper.

 

Just FYI, the front bumpers seem to be back in stock, though they are $598 now.

 

Just an FYI, I tried to put a winch in mine today. The holes for the fairlead are not spaced appropriately. Makes things a pain in the butt since its almost impossible to ream out the holes or oblong them with standard tools.

 

Best post of this whole thread!

 

This thread is a disgrace to American workers and American jobs as you support someone that blatantly steals a bumper design from an American manufacture and outsources it to China. I refuse to buy or support stolen property. If your moral character is not at the level that you respect intellectual property from your fellow countrymen, then I feel sorry for you and am concerned about future generations you bring to this country.

 

I suggest you read the thread from beginning to end.

 

The only entity that is blind to race, gender, sexuality, background and religion is capitalism. Not disagreeing with the fact stealing a design is the work of scum. However, I missed this thread. Some people take the cheaper path. The fact manafacturer like this aren't all over the place is mind boggling to me because they're all over the Jeep community. They don't get shit for buying blatenly oversea rip offs, just bro's who comment on how their name brand stuff is better.

The example was made earlier. I bought a $10 Walmart yeti knock off the other day. Works the same. I feel no remorse. Sorry.

 

Woot for Ozark Trail

 

If I missed something, please enlighten me.

I've followed the thread since the beginning. Everything I have read confirms the American design is stolen, the stolen design manufacturing is moved to China, they remove the AP logo and uneducated buyers eat it up to save a few bucks. (Even confirmed by All Pro, the original manufacture).

So what am I missing? Besides the conscious that the people that bought the bumpers clearly lack.

 

Oh. My. Tacoma. 234 pages? Can someone please fill me in, I haven't been since about page 10. I'm on the same page as crashnburn here.

 

Get to readin boy!

 

Post 2 my friend.

 

No!!

Ah thank you! What a crapstorm. I had considered looking at TW vendor bumpers and building my own because I'm a cheapskate but never would I sell it or market it as my own. Damn Chinese, cue Trump

 

I fully support and embrace capitalism. But I do not support THEFT. Stealing the American built design of someone that actively supports the community, then producing it over seas and trying to sell it back to that same community?!

This is not taking "the cheaper path."

This is complacently buying stolen property after one of our supporting vendors was robbed. There is no argument you can give in support of buying stolen property at a "cheaper" price.
