Lower Cost Bumper Option - Via Amazon

[dalton108]

Great documentary, "Death by China" I would buy a few of these if my truck would fit in the garage with it installed.

The unplugged performance ones are egregiously overpriced in my opinion. I could literally buy a used car for the amount that they want for the rear bumper alone (without the fold out tire mount and Molle panel that seems to come standard with this one) and I just cannot accept it!

In their version even the part that mounts the tire is priced separately from the swing out panel that you attach it to. I understand that they have to make a buck and recoup their engineering costs, but, I just can’t see my way clear to give them that type of money for that product.

Some upgrades shouldn’t be called upgrades.

I agree that their pricing is a bit steep. I was really hoping for a Black Friday or Christmas discount but unfortunately not.

Interesting, they have rear one too for $ 600

Does this stick out longer than the stock rear and front bumper ?with the stock I barely fit in my garage .

If it’s modeled after the UP one, which it looks to be. It is the same size, just made in metal Instead of plastic. The additional addons that attach would protrude further though, but the bumper by itsself does not.

Well. It seems like all our washers are belong to them now. Dang it! ?

They're using the UP images. One was not even edited and still has the UP logo

Now on ebay:

For $360 and free shipping that might be tempting to test one out.

reasonable price but...it comes from china. If it doesn't fit, good luck getting a refund, without costing a fortune to return it. And the quality is unknown. I didn't even see what the bumpers are made of...?
edit-carbon steel. Hmmm...

It’s Amazon…doesn’t that mean returns are easy?

It has to be "sold by Amazon"

Engineering a product like this costs a lot of money. They aren't mass producers, so their machining overhead is higher.

Price is right for a quality niche product for a luxury vehicle, I think.

This is true!

I ordered a rear bumper for my Tacoma, ended up with the wrong year. My return was going to be $125 shipping. Sold on amazon and not by amazon.
Be careful!

I will not buy anything that doesn't say PRIME.

I think I’m going to try out the eBay one for testing purposes even though I’ve got a UP one on order. It’ll at the very least answer some questions and can always resell it on offer up. Someone will buy it.
