Any one remember me asking if someone wanted one making?

Well Beechtree 4x4 now does them thanks to sam who very patiently came and let us use her vehicle to make the first ever Beechtree Jeep bumper,
We were all pleased with the end result what do you think?

Very nice. Are they making one for a pre face-lift (1994)? Any details on price etc?

To be honest I/we dunno the difference in the way a bumper will mount to a pre face lift model (we're just branching into the non landy stuff)

But a bumper the same as that one will cosyou £275. :lol:

Think it needs to stick out more at the corners of the wings...maybe a tad overpriced as well..apart from that looks good

If you do decide to have ago at a pre face-lift bumper, then I for one would be very interest (I wouldn’t of thought that there would be much difference, maybe a little shorter on the corners. But maybe with a little trimming, it should fit).

I’ve seen how much the few jeep winch bumpers cost, and even when importing from the US, the price of shipping costs more than the bumper! So yours looks very attractive!

There made to be streamline on the front corners to improve the turning circle, as for price your looking around £700+ to import a bumper from the states. so my bumper is very cheap if you count 2 skilled engineers working on 1 bumper for 6 hours then the price of steel, running costs of a plasme cutter, mig welders bla bla bla. + overheads. theres not alot of profit in them, beleive me. thanks for your feedback though il take it into consideration. :D  :D  :D

I think the lower front section on the wings would need trimming to fit the bumper onto an early one, not much work really. or to make a bumper for a prefaclift would be less work and steel as you'd not need to go down the side.
