    I was wondering what kinds of wiy bumpers were out there, in looking in to this and just curious on my options and others opinions! I know there is
    Sos Concepts
    NorthWest Trail innovations
    Move Bumpers

    But anyone know any other kinds? Feel free to chime in either with new kinds or opinions on how easy it was to weld those bumpers or just how ou felt about them once you had them on! Thanks in advance guys:thumbsup:

    Think relentless only sells the WIY bumpers in group buys now

    I'm looking at the SOS WIY right now! Going to have a buddy of mine weld it (He is a cert. welder so it wont be a shade tree type job). Looking at ~$300 for him to weld it up.

    i made a rough cad for the front bumper i built. It needs some work, but should be a decent start , hopefully. Is anyone interest in trying to finalize it? maybe some 3d modeling or something - im not to familiar with how bumpers drawings are typically made

    If i wanted to make a clone of a certain compaines bumper. Pull measurments and angles. Then fab it up myself. Only thing i worry about are like copy right laws. I mean im not selling them or anything. Just makimg one for myself.

    See if any member are close to you with the bumper you have in mind. Meet up and get all your measurements.

    If it's for yourself no worries, if you start selling bumpers that's where the trouble starts

    Just following up on this. I went ahead and took your drawings and started to model in 3D, but wondering about how the final shape was intended to look. It appears that the outer middle piece, the way it's cut, won't allow for the bottom row to fold in at an angle.
