All-Pro's New APEX Front Bumper Group Buy & Give-a-way

the original bumper is actually $150 to have powder coated. The whole APEX line is getting different powder coating then our original bumper that costs a bit more to do. These bumpers are getting a special primer then powder coating.

 

AP does not currently make a "hybrid" 2 gen bumper.

 

Anyone mounted a winch in theirs yet? The solenoid mounting location inside the bumper is too far for the wires on my smittybuilt xrc 8. Wondering how others have worked around this

 

Any word on the 2012+ model release date?

 

We appreciate the feedback. We are now going to include extra washers for adjustment. These bumpers are manufactured to strict specs, within 1/2 degree, but some adjustment may be necessary. Not all trucks are exactly the same as well.

That is a great solution. I've never had a front plate and haven't been hassled about it. I carry it under my seat with some cable ties just in case though!

Thanks for the order! We'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks! Your order will be going out soon.

The cables do have to be extended. We will also offer a mount that goes behind the stock grille to alleviate this problem.

We are getting closer. We just got the 3rd prototype test fit and are fine tuning a few details.

 

lol seriously why dude i like this new design all pro i like the fact they beefed it up and made it safe and reliable to winch from but, an arb its not.

out of all the bumpers i have seen for 2nd gens the arb's are the stoutest i have come across the only one i think compare are the relentless and ato and cbi offerings and even then idk.

i went with arb for the impact protection it lends you and the frame straps are so over done its almost silly. the only down side to the arb is the lack of recovery points and its weight.

 

ARBs have to be "stout" since the approach angle is bad and you're more likely to hit it, and as you mentioned they weigh a lot. Also, there isn't much room to run larger tires. So, I'm glad our bumper isn't an ARB! LOL

 

Not to mention the ARB is flat out ugly. Personally, I want my truck to look good as well as perform.

 

what about install, if I pick up what would you guys charge to install ?

 

Hells yeah! I pondered my options for a long, long time, and IMO the All-Pro one-piece was the best combination of price, weight, design, and aesthetics.

It took me four hours to do by myself with hand-tools and a floor jack. The instructions were easy to use, and anything else you need to know has already been discussed in this thread. Get out there and spend some quality time with your Taco

 

Nice extra set of hands you got there

 

Thanks! I didn't want to talk someone into doing it themselves and not give a couple ideas on how to go about keeping the bumper from smashing him in the face

The jack helped out when I was fine-tuning the gap between the fenders and the top of the bumper. It was also really helpful (with the tranny attachment) for lifting the skid plate in place.

 

I hear ya


On a side... Getting ready to head over there and pick one up

 

Saaaweeeeeeeet!
