Cheap Bumpers on eBay!!

They are probably made in China.

 

I was going to fab up a bumper and even if this is rough it will turn our way better than a homebrew bumper by me would.

 

Be careful. I purchased bumpers from eBay before in a similar situation. 4 months later, no bumpers, called for a refund because they were in stock until the minute I ordered them, then went on "back order". They charged me a restocking fee on a bumper they never had in stock. Fast forward 3 years. I get a check for $1400 because a DA in California apparently took a case from another person and sued this company. Apparently this was all they did, made money on restocking fees. Kind of crazy haha.

 

Do they have an actual website other than the eBay add? Can you call whichever state they claim to be in to verify they're a legit company? I wouldn't do a transaction over the phone, not too secure. I would tell them PayPal or another secure way that I use to do if that wasn't an option was get a gift card from my bank for the exact amount, use that so there was no way they could then take my card info and go to town.

 

Yeah I don't really like doing stuff on eBay like this but I called the seller and had like a 20 minute conversation with John over there at OEWheelsDirect and he was really cool and said he'd be happy to do it either way. I just bought the front one off of ebay. I'll let you guys know how it goes when it comes in!

 

I wouldn't buy it just because of the simple fact that it rips off @allpro

 

Dope!! I'm really excited for you and I hope it all pans out well. Thanks for being the guinea pig because sometimes that's how great stuff is found.

 

Yeah.

It is tough to really make bumpers look radically different than others that are done. They all sort of look the same, but damn does this not look like they built it and didn't cut the symbol in the center.

 

Plenty of members in CA, I'm sure someone could drop by and check them out in person to verify the legitimacy. Seems pretty clear that it was a stolen design though.

 

There's no way I can afford an Allpro Bumper

 

Nah I'm not blaming you for anything, you buy whatever you want with your money.

My problem is that it's literally the same design as AllPros. At least have different cutouts in the front.

 

I'm in California too but they are apparently based in Montana but just have a California Warehouse that they ship out of.

 

That is weird. I could've sworn either Allpro or maybe Pelfry, can't recall but one of them is in CA and has a warehouse in Montana.

 

That's pretty weird

 

Yeah probably some Chinese company who got their hands on the design and started pumping them out. They are known for copying...

 

Sub'd for outcome

 

Don't do it over the phone... Get eBay and PayPal protection

Anyway, good luck OP! Quite a steal if it's legit.

 

All Pro did move to Montana....

Wouldn't exactly call them an Offroad company.

Cheap light bars and ripoff armor, and 11 products in their entire catalog.
