2012+ Winch Mount Bumper Development

nice fab work, cant wait to see first run

 

any update?

 

I was just wondering that....

 

CAD is running a bit behind and I'm in the middle of another prep for my cancer testing which is kicking my large arse.

So.. running a few days behind. Hang with me, believe me it's at the top of my list.

 

Best wishes with that sir.

 

Eh.. it seems I'll live...I'll know for sure next month.

It's what delayed things so much for the 05-11 and got discussed a bit in that thread... so I won't delve in to it again here.

But thank you, I appreciate it.

 

Sub'd!

And best of luck to you in the other matter at hand. Kick it's ass!

Ok, we have the production prototype scheduled for build on June 5 or thereabouts. Shop has a full schedule but hopefully we can squeeze it in sooner. After that we do a test fit and make sure no changes are needed and off to production it goes. Probably a 2 week lead time after that.

Once we have the final test fit and a solid production date I'll start getting a list together here as I need a good head count so we have enough built in the first run. I have 12+ Taco owners from all over (not just here) wanting this.

 

awesome! and pricing looks good at $535? any initial group buy? thanks for your hard work!

 

Sub'ed. Count me in!

 

Are you gonna run a group buy price with free shipping like in the other thread

 

We shall see. Until I have the final production prototype in my hands and know what our productions costs are for sure (I think they are pretty stable) AND I want to see what kind of commitments we have on this. The 05-11 bumpers, after a ton of requests, have been collecting dust (hence my inventory blowout) and I basically lost money on that product after dev costs and I'm not sure I'll even build any more of them.

When it's time I'll open up a group buy thread with pricing likely based on a real group buy quantity this time.

 

That makes perfect sense. Thanks again.

 

Awesome thanks. I have been sub'ed to all the threads waiting on the 12's. Looking forward to it being a finished product

 

I am also very excited.

 

This bumper replaces the lower valence, rather than going behind it; is that right? Will the lower grill area be the same size as stock (to fit a grillcraft insert)?


To help you gauge interest: I'm in the market for something like this, but purchase decision will of course depend on final product and price.

I am very interested in this product at the estimated price point. If you're making a list, add me to it please.

 

Just make sure you are subscribed to this thread as I'll post the group buy link here when ready.
