New James Duff Explorer Bumpers

[KF5ZXT]

Still in prototype stage.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Nice but look bulky

[nice59fordf100]

Hmm, those don't look stock...

[KF5ZXT]

Why would you want it to look stock?

[TxPlates]

I'm partial to the ones we saw at 4wheel parts. Just wish they were stronger.

I like things that are better than stock, and look better than stock.

Stock looks stupid.

Well unless it's a sport trac...but I really liked the bumpers we saw at the 4wheel parts when we attended the SHR meeting, but they seemed very flimsy and appeared for the same price I could probably have someone make something similar but stronger. I'm also torn between having a rear swing spare tire holder built to cover the tailgate. Pros tire isn't in the bed taking up space, Con more shit to weigh it down in the rear and drag when crawling. So who knows.

[KF5ZXT]

Yeah, I had a rear tire swing out once. Landed on it so many times I broke it off.

[TxPlates]

How low was it? My thoughts be to have the swing be above the the bumper and across the tailgate, think that's still too low?

[KF5ZXT]

[TxPlates]

Shit and that still bottomed out?

[KF5ZXT]

Like I said, I landed on it so many times that I broke the pivot point clean off, all while denting up my tail gate repeatedly.

[TxPlates]

Wow, ok so that's definitely out then. No point in spending the money on something that will just break eventually (not to say other stuff won't on the truck but this is pretty much a certainty) lol.

[KF5ZXT]

In my opinion - any over hang, front or rear, you will land on. Why add more?

[BigTim55]

Who made that bumper? Now you have me thinking twice about a tire carrier

Do you still have that spoiler over the third brake light?

I don't recall who made that one, it came with another explorer I bought.

I think I still have the spoiler on there... I'm having trouble remembering.

[BigTim55]

[KF5ZXT]

Yes.

[KF5ZXT]

Nope, apparently it is gone.

[nice59fordf100]

That wing is called the windjammer and its (was?) produced my LUND. I have one for blue.

[KF5ZXT]

That is correct. Hmmm, maybe you stole mine... Lol

[TxPlates]

Great now we have thieves in the group????
