Ok...to make a long story short, I ordered a bumper from a US company known for quiality work four months ago. Paid in full, including shipping. I am beyond frustrated with the fac that not only are they two months past their latest quoted delivery date, they simply can't be bothered to let me know when they're going to miss a delivery time that they told me they could meet. They also aren't giving me any confidence as to when I might see my product. Other people who ordered in August still don't have their bumpers.
That leaves me two options:
#1. Buy a mid-width from a different US company and hope that I won't get molested on the shipping fees. Probably LOD - I like what I've seen of the "signature" mid-width.
#2. Find someone local to fab what I want from 3/16" steel, then look at finish options (rattlecan, powdercoat, or Line-X?).
And two questions:
#1. Who does that type of work in Cowtown?
#2. What should I expect to pay for a stout midwidth with a winch hoop, 2 STOUT recovery points, 4 light tabs, cutouts for fog lights, skid plate to protect my E-disco, and a mounting point/fairlead bracket for a 9.5ti.
If you happen to be someone that fits the #1 bill, and want to discuss #2...PM me.
