2000-2004 RLC bumper

[TKDx00]

Shock wont fit I think.. or no way to mount it...


I need to mount my Skid row skids ...

James will work with you man.. Just call him and ask...


You will see both a Gen 1 and Gen 2 bumper at nXm

I saw what he did for the 2nd gen in the build thread... I like the tube design and most of the lines. In my old age the round tubes have grown on me alot over square tubing. Since I'm gonna redue my rear bumper and sliders in round I gonna do a front to match. My intention is to have something different than the norm... It's an EGO thing my wife says...I say it's just a man and his toys...lol

Sweeeeeeet!

 

[Xterraforce]

I like this picture I stole from Travis. It was taken the seXTERRA January Prentice Cooper ride. Black paint tends to hide the fine details of bumpers but in this one the mud and the lighting show enough of the angles and lines to see what a work of art James created.

 

[Prime]

Yeah. Really want one. Need a rear first.

 

[TKDx00]

Any thoughts of you creating a Tube winch bumper?

 

[drbandkgb]

Hit James up on his site... I know he is busy like crazy now... Great work = everyone wanting it

 

[ChiXterra]

I wish someone with a 1st gen, or 1.5 gen could take some time to run over there and just get the X measured for a rear bumper. Heck, I'll toss in gas money for someone to do that. I just can't justify a 5-6hr drive to get some measurements done.

 

[drbandkgb]

I wish I would have kept my old bumper.. I would have sent it to him to fab from

 

[Roadwarrior]

I plan on getting a rear done by him. I was going to take it to my local guy but I'd end up with some jackwagon rear bumper that is just a piece. That being said, I am a while off from going up there

Something like that is always an idea (except having someone measure their Shrock, etc.). Only problem would be if he would be ok with that. I could get him any measurement he wants...

 

[drbandkgb]

I think the rear is pretty simple to work from..
The design is simple... That's why I would think you could fab one based on it

James shot me an email back saying he could build it off of measurements. Now I just need to do some measuring.

Very cool

If anyone wants something a little more durable than just paint on their RLC bumper, one of my customers, Jason at Auto-Cycle Powder Coating in Red Bank, TN (suburb of Chattanooga pretty much) took a look at mine and said he'd do them for anyone for $150.00 in black. Other colors may be a little more depending on his material cost. He has an oven big enough to do complete car and truck frames so the bumpers are no problem. His work is very good. You could drop it off personally if that's convenient or have James ship it to him then he'd ship it on to you when it's done. That would most likely double shipping cost of course. I don't know how much good powder coat usually cost but if I knew he'd do it for that price I would have gone that route instead of paint. I still plan to in the future. If anyone is interested I'll can give you his phone number and address.

hey xterraforce any chance he has any type of bedliner?

 

[Xterraforce]

He doesn't but another of my customers does. Southern Customs is right across the street from us. They've been doing some trucks and Jeeps with Raptor Liner.

 

[TKDx00]

I'll make someone a WHOLE pot of Dirty Rice if they would just go to RLC and let him take measurements for a REAR bumper!!!!

:w00t:

 

[Xterraforce]

There's a good chance I'll have a spare first gen rear bumper this week from a parts truck. If so I'll be calling James and sending it to him if he's interested.

See. Now that's what I call an epic deal. If no one has done it by the next time I head to my mother-in-laws in Ohio I'll take that!

/already paid for a Shrock
//Worth it just for the rice

[TKDx00]

NO FAIR...FOUL...!!! I feel really bad that you and Tim didn't get any too.... If I get to nXm3 I'll make sure some is set aside.

If????

For real. What is this IF business?!?!

 

[TKDx00]

I've got a lot of work in the garage scheduled for the X: TB's, Diff Drop, 2"BL, Head Gaskets, Dual Batteries, train horns. About to order the Calmini HD steering. Gotta finish the storage/tool box run the wires for the Pilot switches, Fuse block and relays, reconstruct the rear bumper where the welds seperated(first time attempt at welding).

So my Spring/Summer with pretty full with stuff and why I say "IF".

 

[ChiXterra]

I've just sent more stuff to James. He has a CAD file for the plate, and images of supports. But I still need to get the side hole pattern, and the frame mount measurements.
