    And the wheel sits right up in front of the glass.
    I like the look of the front bar on that site...

    I too, like the front bar. You could add to it to create a Sahara bar.
    Shouldn't be too hard for someone to copy.............Gordon????

    The one pictured is higher than normal, they customized it per customer request. The weight of the rear bar is about 29 kgs, the wheel support is approx. 15 kgs.

    I have been in touch with Raul there (Spanish only)-- he is truly and artist in my opinion. He can customize to your specifications as well.... Let me know if you have interest, and I can facilitate communications if needed.

    Be a shame to start making knock offs... but he would probably work with a local fabricator if the right situation presented itself.

    There are two versions of the front bumper, the aggressive one pictured, and a discrete winch mount version. I can post pictures if anyone is interested. Front bumper weights (approximate) 30 kgs, Base for Winch 19 kgs

    Yeah pics would be great thanks - those weight figures are impressive. Are you thinking of getting some kit sent over? Have you talked prices with him? No hablo espanol...

    Yes -- I have discussed prices with him, they are very fair, of course quantity makes it much better.

    I ordered a full set in for evaluation purposes. That is shipping to the US though.

    I will be posting some pictures here soon. I will work out the pricing and put some approximate pricing for you as well. They would come directly from Spain at this stage of the game, unless someone is identified there that would be willing to stock a few.

    Here is a link to the pictures in my gallery entitled "Bumpers & Carriers" There are too many pictures and too large to post here. You should be able to zoom in on most of them. I will continue to add construction pictures as the build progresses on the front and rear bumpers / tire carrier.

    They look very neat. Are there alloy versions planned?
    Do they have recovery and jacking points?
    Air bag compatibility?
    Parking sensor accommodation?

    Parking sensor accommodation? -- all front and rear come with knockouts for the sensors.

    Air bag compatibility? The new bumper comes with new air bag sensors, the old ones are too large.

    Recovery and jacking points? The current one does not have, but he can and he will add them for anyone who wants it. The front would be near the body mount points. The rear would be near the outside edges. It will require beefing up the bumper to accommodate the vehicle weight for the rear.

    Are there alloy versions planned? Yes, we are hoping to work with some local manufacturers to coordinate on appropriate materials for the market. We are completely flexible to produce exactly to the requirements for the market, in the appropriate material, Steel, Stainless, Alloy, and so on.




    I will post specifics to your other questions shortly, I am talking with the designer / manufacturer for accurate answers.
