So I called him up, he answered right away. I went ahead and placed my order and then shot him an email just to confirm. Unfortunately, I can't really go for the rear bumper as well, maybe later. I still have to buy the parts for my timing belt change, so that is higher on the priority list than the rear.
I'm not going to have him ship it, instead I'll pick it up while I am moving in October. I was going to have him mount it as I was passing through Louisville, but he recommended not to since I still have a 2-3 day drive after that and the bumper would still be raw (read: instantly rusting once a drop of water hit it). Instead I'll just load it up in the back of the Xterra or in the back of the moving truck if I have room. Now I'm just waiting for an email response back so I can go ahead and shoot him the money.
I probably should have waited until I paid or until he started production on it to write on here, but I may be a little too excited about it. My wife is going to want to kill me once I get home... She already thinks I am a lunatic for "just ruining a perfectly good SUV." She almost cried when I suprised her with the paintjob I did and then with the giant hole in the fender when I was mid snorkel install... This bumper business is not going to help change that mindset.
