    Freight shipping is NO JOKE! So damn expensive. It gets worse too. I paid $275 to ship our roof top tent from Dallas to NW Wa. Sucks but it's still cheaper than driving down and picking it up. Still not easy to accept.

    Not sure why they aren't pipin in bout the weight but I thought I saw in a thread a little while back that the bumpers are just under or just over 100lbs depending on hoop options.

    Guess I should ask on weight myself. 97504.

    Maybe I need a road trip to L.A.

    It's not the weight as much as it is the size. They only weigh around 100lbs but they are wide! Unless we go with the three piece design they have to go freight. We went to a 3 piece design for our FJC rear bumpers, meaning the ends bolt on and it only really saves about $25.00 average on shipping.

    Dang. Now that's a good deal. Do we just call Greyhound? Do you have a link for this info? But how do the logistics work? Someone has to get it to the Greyhound station and be ready for pickup upon arrival. I can't imagine the driver would be expected to load/unload that kind of cargo.

    Weight limit up to 150lbs for select areas, otherwise 100lbs. Max. width 82" (not sure the width of the bumper. I was quoted online $106 ($800 insurance, 82" width, 100lbs) from Colfax (nearest station to Corona) to Santa Clara, CA. Still, expensive. And someone has to take it to the station

    We can't but we sell the bumper as a package deal with the powder coating. We can't afford to discount the bumper the full charge of the PC.

    For 100.00 I might hand deliver it to Santa Clara..

    I was wondering the same thing with the exception of the shipping.... Doing my taxes on Fri and HOPEFULLY getting my moving allowance put into my account shortly. Once one of those things gets done I may be placing an order if the warden lets me. :D

    Let me see? A welded bumper from Demello or a bend up sheet metal, bolt together (not welded) bumper from All Pro? No brainer in my book. Great deal! :)


    * Have you seen an All Pro bumper after an accident?

    The light holes come standard, no extra charge.

    I believe we have 3 left. Please call to place your order.

    Shipping would be around 200.00


    Warden...haha

    No problem:)

    How much for the ARCO HID fogs?

    What is the bolt pattern for the winch?

    I'm assuming these will fit the 2012 with little to no modification? From the pictures it looks like there is plenty of room for the new grill. The bottom lip of the grill on a 2012 may stick out .5"-1" more.

    These bumpers are bad ass, BTW. I think you have really outdone yourself with the design. There doesn't seem to be any excess metal anywhere. I simply cannot wait.

    I would have to check with Acro, I believe they are 300ish each but I will have to double check tomorrow when they are back in the office.

    We should have a 2012 in here monday to test fit on. We will most likely change in a little to make it work with the 2012's

    Thank you for the compliments!
