Ahhhh...I see.
Well, I'll have to wait a bit anyway. I don't have enough money on me at the moment. It will be a few more paychecks.

Right, im not really upset about it....the guy does some good work from what I have seen and a few people around here have them.......Id rather him of told me it will take more time though.....im a rather patent person.

Unless anyone knows the price?

hmmm...weird. There's been both positive and negative responses about the individual. He hasn't responded to my email at this point anyway so I'm not too worried. I just really liked those bumpers! I'll just look elsewhere for now. :D
Thanks for the link to the thread. That puts things in another perspective.

I am really happy with the Mudrat Bumper design ! Not only does it look awesome, but it is strong and can save your Baja in a accident. . The first Mudrat Bumper I had was the one with the winch and it saved the main frame of my Baja from getting damaged.

The new design I like a little more for the fact that it adds a little more protection to the front end and has that brush guard look to it. It could still have the winch attachment as well. . I am working on getting a new skidplate for this.

But yes, dealing with John Bloom can be a real pain in the a$$ for it took almost 3 months before I finally had my new bumper for my Baja.
