Yeah, how much for a plain front and rear (no carriers or brush guards, etc.)? Those are sweet bumpers and I love the EB they are attached to.

Great work, eh Ive really got to much else I need to do first before I think about bumbers.

How much does it weight? thinking of shipping-

Not saying your time and work is not worth it but aftermarket bumper(Warn.... etc.) has got you beat pretty well.

While chooseing a bumper, one of the important things to consider is how does the tire swing out stop from hitting the side of the bronco? I can not tell how this swingout stops the radius movement of the carrier. I don't like putting unnesessary dents in the side of my rig. Do you have pictures of how it stops?

OK... update..

The sale price for the front and rear bumpers basically plain $390 Each. The sale price for the front (complete) and rear (complete) will be $545 Each.This is only for the first 10. After that i'll know if i can keep the costs down. I would require a $200 deposit.This is best i can do. And i'm glad to see the responses. They will ship from 29154 zip. I'll get a wt tomorrow. Thanks Ken.

OK Ken
I want one of the front bumpers with the brush guards. Just to reiterate - your bumper accommodates a 2" body lift right? Don't want to have to modify it when I install it. Just need the details from you regarding the weight when you get it.

Will the "plain" front have a winch mount? Will the "plain" rear have the hitch?
When I say plain I really mean that everything except the swing out carriers for the rear and without brush or winch mount for the front.I'm looking at whether a winch can be mounted between the frame brackets and directly to the top of the front.I think theres enough room for what i'm running(M6000). And i could supply a fairlead plate that would mount with the same holes as the winch. Does any one know if the 8274 can mount with bolts vertically. my access to one is 100 miles away. whats good about the way i mount it with the brushguards is the different holes can be drilled for diff mountings without showing since the holes sre in the winch tray.

Also, I have already cut my rears, so can you give me the dimension from a body line to the top of the bumper? I have a 2" body lift like you.
Just measured..The top of the bumper to the bottom of the tailgate is 1" with the tailgate closed. when the tailgate opens this allows for at least 1/2 or so clearance. Ken

Ken, I LOVE your bumpers. I've contacted you in November - if you remember. I do _not_ have a body lift.
I'm not too hip on welding the bumper on. Anyway to get it to bolt on?
What about the rear bumper?

Hey Mark, The bumpers are bolted on.Only the rear brackets need to be welded. the front brackets bolt on.Then the bumper bolts to those brackets.If you can get it here, I could help with any of the welding,cant remember where you are......... OK i see Indiana..Long drive..

Ken, 4 more questions:
How much for the front bumper without the brush/grill guard?
and how much does the front weigh?
I'd want the back bumper just like yours.
How much does the back weigh?
And lastly, How long is the lead time?

Let me answer a few q?'s.
The weight of the rear(basic) is around 95#.The rear( with swing outs is about 125#.The front (with all the brush guard and winch plate is about 120#.The front(basic)is about 98#.
Lead time depends on when i get enough orders for this run.Hopefully real soon.If i could fill the order by the end of the week, shipping could possibly be in 3 to 4 weeks.
Email me at kmcleod3@sc.rr.com to place an order. What ?'s did i miss?..Ken

I'd rather just take a personal check for the deposit.It would only take a few days to verify funds and with the lead time on my end that shouldn't be a problem.I will move them through as quick as possible.After all i'm a bronco fan too, and i hate to wait on parts just like everyone else.Ken
BTW The Free4 all and the roundup in paragon are coming soon so delivery to those events would mean no Shipping Costs.Just an idea.:cool:
