There is no G. There is no G. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO G!
Sucks they won't ship
You ought to put up a 'welder/help wanted' ad in the PO or food court. Lots of guys will take you up on that just to build something fun. You can probably gather up help to find materials and get a plan going. And probably just pay for pizza and beer

That's kinda BS that you pay 1200 bucks for a bumper and they dont come with towhooks (or atleast a hole for stockers), hitch reciever, powder coating or none of that. For that kind of money you should get those things included, not have to pay an extra 550 bucks

Yea I hear that. Pretty much anything with metal has gone through the roof these days. Alot of people say oh the cost of metal blah blah blah. While it has gone up, it is up NOWHERE near the price that parts have gone up. I priced some metal to help a buddy fab his own bumper for an offroad beater, and buying the metal at retail was going to be under 300 dollars. I want to say it was like 248 actually. That was for schedule 40 pipe for the main bumper and then 1 1/2 inch tubing for the ralis and supports. I am not sure what the wall thickness was.
But if Joe Schmoe off the street gets metal fo that price, companies are for sure getting it for less.

Blue Monster Do you know anyone PCSing from the states to Europe. If so you have the bumpers shipped to them and they can put them in their household goods. If they go over weight just pay the difference of the bumper weight. Even If you have to drive to another country pick them up it would be cheaper than shipping from the states. Just an idea to save shipping costs and import tax.
