Off Road Bumper. (BAJA BUMPER) Whats your opinion?

I Got the money ready to go I’ve been looking for a bumper for years now. Can’t wait to get rid of that stock set up. I’m glad that there are so many people that share the same Concern for the lack there of quality reasonable priced bumps for are gen trucks

 

Im starting to find there's not much aftermarket for our gen trucks. Most stuff starts at the 2nd gens

 

Been searching for years the only option is getting one fabbed up. I’ve checked all over that’s how this old ass thread got revived. Thanks to luv yota for lookin out!

 

That will work.

 

I couldn't agree more, but the good stuff is coming I'll take it on as there are very many 1st gen guys around me and they have sparked an interest in quality aftermarket bumpers,sliders,tire gates and racks. I have a sweet spot for the first gen although I would have em all if I had more time to learn to maintain each, as nobody has ever touched my truck other than me mechanically. I am a perfectionist even w/a almost 20 year old truck.

 

Count me in as interested in this as well

 

Got you!

 

Bump

 

I like the all pro baja bumper, if i saw before I ordered though I would of went with the filler plate options but non the less i like my bumper. And unlike some baja bumpers ive seen this allows for a winch, and has multiple recovery points.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to think I kinda want a plate bumper. Went a different direction with by build and a winch would be very helpful.

 

Plate is cool, alot more weight though. The all pro baja is 65 pounds by its self, i think some plates lik arb are in the 100 pound range. That’s without a winch, winch is like another 60 pounds. But plate bumpers do offer more protection and they look cooler

 

I'm looking at a relentless fab bumper right now. I'm going more for an overland build after I came to my senses that a prerunner wouldnt make sense in Louisiana lol.

 

@Luv my yota Did you ever start the bumper design?

 

I priced out the metal, gonna cost more for the first few mock ups than when I get bulk tubing, no b.s. I've been swamped with repair work....no work of mine! My wife is pushing me to get it done sooo ya'll will see the good shit real quick. I will post build pics on different bumpers as I go, see ya soon!

 

Any updates?

 

Been looking at different companies designs for bumpers and doing cardboard mockups before I lay a single bead because I have to like em first or I cannot sell with a good conscious. There have been alot of new ones to hit the market for other vehicles so I want a modern version of the classic look. It’s taking awhile to design a perfect look with functionality. I’ll be doing rears too so they have to be similar. Let you know more soon.

 

Btw I don’t want to tease you guys with bumpers I made and didn’t like, so plate and baja are coming soon. Perfection is what I want because this small run is gonna hit big I believe and I don’t want the first bumpers to be something I could have improved on. I take it everyone wants a solid hidden winch mount wether for baja or plate, If anyone objects let me know.

 

You looking to make it bolt on with 4x4 and winch capable?

 

Yes

 

I was about to ask if you could make a baja bumper with a winch mount but you got it haha
