Chassis Unlimited?

Yeah he's a good shop. I had one if their seat sliders in my k5.
Good machine work. He's not too far from me and I've done a bit of work for him from my shop. Actually I think he is/was a vendor here

thanks for the feedback.

Man them pre-fab bumpers are spendy... :doah:

In general... I'm not singling anyone out.

Yeah, is it sad that I think $625 is a good deal compared to the general price range for these things? :haha:

Nope. If it's a quality piece, not turned out by a machine, most of us realize what kind of cost is associated with that sort of domestic, low-volume production.

Any of us could probably build one, but if you had to purchase all the fab tools, learn to use them, buy the materials, then actually construct it associating some value to your time, the cost of buying it from someone for that price isn't bad.

Add in trying to make a living from it, building rent, other business expenses, and I can certainly see it.

When I see high prices on things like that, I see someone who understands the actual cost of business and has done the calculations to make sure that when all is said and done, they are making money on the deal.

I like it, but I can't see if the hitch hangs low enough to hit before the tank, which would be my only concern. That and the receiver hole, that seems like it wouldn't support it very well, being angled as it appears.

Good post, and I agree with the bolded part. I'm not sure if that's an optical illusion, or if the receiver hitch truly is angled. If so, not sure I'd want that...
 
I tried their seat sliders in the new rig but ended up not using, very nice pieces though. I have one of their battery trays here too I'm not going to use I need to sell off.
 
Also, look into Cross Enterprises. I have one of theirs with the tire carrier and can rack and love it. Had it for at least 8 years with zero problems. It mounts high and and the factory hitch is retained.
 
Wow, that's a great deal. I wish I was ready to buy because that would save me over $125 when you consider shipping...
 
Thumbs up for Chassis Unlimited!! Great quality products at fair prices. From what I have seen they don't build junk. My pinion guard is pure beef!

X2 on the pinion guard. It was the cheapest i found on the whole net, and it's a nice beef piece. First time i took my rig out with it on, i beat on it with no problems. I like their products
 
looked at a few bumpers and this company had the one that fit my needs the best. Ordered a front bumper today using the discount code. Originally wanted to go with Blazen Off Road but I didn't have enough saved up before they went out of business...:frown1:

Keep us posted on quality and lead time and what not.

meant to post this sooner 'cept some family stuff came up. Placed the order for the bumper on Monday and received it by friday. It was covered in paper and plastic wrap so there were some bumps and scrapes but nothing to lose sleep over.

Construction is excellent and installation took less than 20 mins. The bumper didn't feel like 75 lbs (per the UPS label) but i didn't weigh it...

I wish the bumper had some shackle mounts but i'll get some bolt-on hooks for it. I'm planning on mtg a 12k winch later, but for now it'll be some HIDs (orderd from ruffstuff on same day and received a day after the bumper)...

for a little over $500 (coupon code/before taxes/free shipping), you can't go wrong with this bumper.
