Kinda wish I'd seen this bumper before i bought my ARB. Do you know about how much it weighs? Looks pretty svelte.

I didn't weigh the bumper by itself but the bumper and sliders were 150 lbs total when shipped. I'm guessing the bumper was near 100 lbs with the cross member.

It went okay I would say. I ordered the bumper and standard sliders in early Dec. 2017 and after 2 slipped ship dates I received it early March 2018 after getting kind of grumpy. One of the welds on the plate area was over grinded down and needed rewelding.
In Scotty's defense he was very busy from all the 20% sale orders and he had great communication via email.
The hardest part was welding on the cross member so the bumper bolted up all aligned. I'm not a fab person so it took me a long time.

But overall it was worth the time, effort and expense. I think it is the best looking aftermarket winch bumper. It is also very heavy duty made of thick material.

Yeah, that is understandable based on all those orders. I agree, its the best looking aftermarket bumper hands down. I would say you are a great fabricator based on your welds. Thanks again, hoping to catch a sale here soon.

As much as I would like to take credit for the welds they are not my handy work. I did all the prep and fitting then went to my local welder to do. I do have a MIG welder at home but my policy is if it is safety related or welding over head I have a pro do the welding.
