    Has anyone contacted CBI Offroad. Or Revenge Fab? Those guys seem perfect for something like this.

    Okay, I admittedly do not know very much about working metal. But I mean c'mon, its angles! Why can't someone with a welder and some pipe benders make this D@MN thing?

    I emailed several "metal fabricators" pictures and everything and none of them will make it. WTF? Will everyone do like I'm doing and email some folks and we try to get this thing made..........and reasonably priced!

    I want one so bad! Visually it does'nt weight the front down too much. I think a lot of the bullbars stick out too far- I like how this artic bar fits closer to the truck. A lot of the front guards out there seem to just be to bulky for me..... This one is perfect!

    well...
    1. they probably don't want to get sued by the people who came up with it originally
    2. they don't want to get sued by you if you hit something and it doesnt help you any
    3. you probably aren't making it worth their time

    ^^^ Uh, can't say I agree with any of those but #3 myself.

    I asked (in an email) Derek at Revenge Fab if he could make this. He said "that bar would be pretty cool... it would run $300.00 bucks raw for me to build..."

    Only problem is Derek is mad swamped with the group slider buy so who knows when you'd see them.

    well then why won't anyone fab it up?

    Ha ha well let me see.

    1. replicas exist all the time right?
    2. What does any bull bar or brush guard company do about that?
    3. I told them that there were a lot of guys on three different toyota enthusiast sites toyotanation, tacomaworld, and ttora that would love one- I told them that i was sure I could get a nice order that would match or beat their minimum run! I told them just give me a price!

    Sure doesn't seem that way. It'll happen some day but a lot of people will already have something else. Somebody could make a killin' on this if they'd just get it out. Apparently it's is no where near the top of any fabricator's to do list.

    You would think it would be high on "the list" being that I haven't met anyone that doesn't like the looks of that arctic bar and also the fact that there are a rediculas amount of Tacomas on the road.
