Default Ok, back to looking for bumpers..

Ok, sorry for the mis-fire, I didn't realize the Tactical Armor Group that I was about to send $2k+ to for bumpers was actually Kennesaw Mountain offroad, until I tried to search for a picture and insert them into this post.

So, is there a REPUTABLE company that does make replacement offroad style bumpers for an '08 Dakota?


Ok, full disclosure, I don't want to borrow any trucks, "I" am not borrowing
anything, I was just aiming for a provocative headline.

What I really need is someone in the Atlanta area to let a custom bumper shop down there use their truck to prototype a rear bumper, so I can, in turn, buy the next one of them for my truck. I am planning on buying a front bumper from them already, but they can't make a matching rear bumper because they haven't prototyped one yet.

Nope, custom is the way to go.

But I don't have the time, equipment or TALENT required to make a custom bumper myself.

Run a search for "custom bumper" and find the pattern posted on here. Take the pattern and your truck to a welder. Tell him to have fun! I want to add/delete/mod this part of the pattern.

Hey, if you want something worth bolting on your truck, either spend lots of time, money or both on it! Cheap gets you cheap!

If you search "Kennesaw Mountain Accessories" you will find more complaints on more forums than you will believe, and this is the same guy. Apparently he just changed the name to avoid the internet stigma...
