Cheap Bumpers on eBay!!

I would rock that front bumper....the rear looks kinda off

subd for installed pics and comments

 

Haven't heard weight. I'm going to call agin when they open and ask

 

Sub'd because I want the rear bumper.

 

I don't know much about powder coating but for the price could you just redo it?

 

For the front sure. But the rear is pretty on par with the legit Allpro rear bumper price, so not much savings there.

 

Just to throw in my 2 pennies. I work in construction and do structural framing. Our steel stud provider was getting their supply from China. But there are tariffs going on jacking up all the prices so we are having to use other places to get it. You can read a little about it here. Im sure bumper makers over here are now having to pay more for steel which will make them more expensive for us and cheaper for the china ones. As for the bumpers, I hope it all works out because Im in the market for some armor as well.

My employer buys steel stuff from China all the time, the facts are the facts - price rules a lot of common items. We have some sources there that are really good - and the turd outfits get pitched on the first go-round. The good stuff is pretty much "old school" - often stamped, bent, welded, ground and machined by processes North Americans don't use here anymore (too labor intensive). And ..... often made on original US / Canadian tooling they bought as surplus. Those are just our rules - other companies may not be so hard-nosed about it

Our best supplier never sends us any assembled or loose hardware with threads on it - he knows we won't trust it - and he doesn't either. Too many counterfeiters in the far east - even the Chinese are wary. I have some Chinese parts on my Taco - and anything that requires real strength has known quantity fasteners. Otherwise - in the bin......

Mild steel is mild steel (36,000 yield strength) - we get it from all over (eastern Europe, Africa and Asia both) and the metallurgy is OK. Precut - pre-bent parts have to come from a good accurate source or they won't work. We get samples shipped in to prove the process, if the subsequent parts don't measure up - they go on the turd list. This "looks like" a decent job of building a useful part - lets hope they don't go on the turd list.....

 

Well everyone I have tracking numbers! There has been a shipping label created and the seller is just waiting for FedEx to come get them!

 

I want both!!

 

Firm believer in you get what you pay for but on the other hand I'm kinda cheap.... In to watch results

 

OP we are cheering for you.....I am subbed too for the outcome. If it's legit it will make lots of forum and other fab vendors tight

 

If this turns out to be legit, I may see if I can get a refund on the SOS group buy bumper....

 

Sub'D!

 

If this turns out to be legit, the flood of orders will crash their system.

Sub's are whats for lunch.
