Default Rcmodelex bumpers

Does anyone know where to get the rcmodelex ARB bumpers? I saw on his website that he's back in the hospital and not taking any new orders at this time. I received my TF2 kit as soon as they came back in stock and I can't wait to start on it. Unfortunately, I've been away at work and haven't even seen it yet. Thanks for any help. Build thread to come soon after I get home!

RPP carries that bumper also but it's never in stock. Keep checking.

I bought a roofrack and bumper 2 months ago, amazing quality and looks perfect. Their stuff is worth the money and the wait.

agreed 100% top quality stuff. shipping took less than 10 days and was cheaper than i expected. the only thing i didn't LOVE about them is how much they weigh, being solid steel. but they look great!

I can't believe how awesome those rigs look!! Good job y'all! Hopefully I can figure out some way to pick them up. I love the roof racks and campers too! Anyone have any pictures of Mattzilla's? Or know anyone who might want to part with a used one? Unfortunately I have still not made it home to even see my TF2 yet ...soon. Also if anyone has any other bumper suggestions like the rcmodelex, please send them my way

I agree the bumper is a beauty and adds significant weight

okso i have this bumper waiting to be installed. and i know it is heavy so imwondering what are everyones suspension setups after installing the bumper> did you add helper leafs up front or did you add stiffer springs in the shocks or both?
although mine is mounted im running all three leafs upfront at first then i plan on adjusting since i feelthat with the mtr, tranny, servo and this bumper i might need all three leafs?

whats your thoughts??

I have tf2 leafs up front with one helper leaf on each front leaf. It's not perfect but it works so far. I wanna try red leafs with 2 helper leafs but I'm lazy so I'll leave it as is and see how it pans out

Bob,
Have you had the bumper for a while? Did you get it from rcmodelex? I think it might be too heavy, so if you'd like to sell it...
