Are there Second Gen's in the works?
If someone could take a second gen to him for measurements I'm sure he would be glad to add them. What I did was take all my plastic off beforehand. Then when I got to his shop all I had to do was take the actual bumper and the lower cross piece off. I got there around 3:00PM on Thursday and he took lots of measurements and fabbed up the lower mounts and the winch plate. He formulated a plan of how he was going to design it but after I left that night he rethought it and came up with the current design.
James wanted a design that wouldn't look like anything currently available. What he came up with is a design that is easily recognizable as HIS design. It was a lot of fun watching as he would have ideas pop into his head then study it from every angle and visualize how to make it work.
The BEST way to get him to do a second gen bumper would be to contact him to schedule a good time to bring your X then plan on having it available for him at least two full days. I went there not knowing what to expect and not thinking I'd be driving home with the first one mounted up. Saturday when he asked if I was planning on driving home with it on, I was a little surprised and said sure, I'd love to if that's a possibility. He said he just needed to grind a little and make a jig and I'd be good to go. To say I was thrilled is an understatement.
If someone can get a second gen to him, there's a Best Western maybe two miles or less from the shop so you're not driving all over without a bumper. If you take a bike or someone with a second vehicle you could check out the area or you could hang out in his way all day like I did.
