Default Has Wertymade Called it a Day?

It appears Werty products are disappearing from online shops and I cannot seem to find his web page. I gather this is the end?

If I’m not mistaken, I think I heard he closed up shop last year.

It’s sad. I have a few of his bumpers and they are top notch and heavy duty!

I know with me and bumpers I either go cheap amazon, make stuff laying around fit or I send it to a local fabricator who I know will make it fit.

I end up cutting my chassis, changing chassis and body, cutting my body and nothing off the shelf seems to fit right.

For the most part, i find the same is true. Bumpers and Sliders are generally designed to fit stock configurations and bodies. More often than not to get a properly fitting piece I need to make it. That said I have on occasion also made adapters to lower pre-made bumpers.

Yeah, you are killing me with those image sizes MO. Its a long scroll west to see it all

I like your steel rod bumper from what I can see. It was smart to bend it down in the middle to lower your winch. Wish I could see how you have it mounting up to the chassis. I am currently brazing a rear bumper for my Enduro. I just finished a truggy-style cage for it but did not build the a bumper into the design

It's here
