Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Well we've got hold of a tube bender and I think we can produce some real nice bumpers for inexpensive (its the shipping that kills you). As for unitizing the skid plate into the bumper, that is a concept we have talked about because it would be considerably stronger than just mounting to your old mount points (albie the shop tech wants to go this route. But, deep down in my hand I know that not everyone is going to cough up enough coin to buy both products at once). We did build a bumper similar to the one pictured there, look below its on A dog's Subaru. I made a commitment to A dog that because he designed it that if we sold more that we would give him comission, well we haven't sold any, and I think it really got A Dogs hopes of becoming rich when he tried to advertise it on the AU subaru board and he just got slashed by the Australians. Those crazy blokes there just so funny :-\ . Anyways, I know there are a ton of people with our lift and BYB lifts so we'll make the skid for the replacement and maybe later build one that attaches to the bumper.

singletrack Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'd need to see the skid plate, but I'm very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 the front looks pretty cool, i might go in for one of them and a lift, but let me sleep on it. how about the rear bumper, any pics? a rear like this would also be cool:brow: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photo...&cat=500&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Here is a current one that we manufacture, we need to beef it up a little but we use the straight tube design, one because it is cheaper, two it matches the vehicle and three it is designed to be fitted with our swing gate. The new ones are going to have lips on the edge so there will be no gaps between the body and the bumper (price will go up though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 do you have a pic of the swing gate with a tire on it? where do you mount the lisence plate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 The christmas prices will most likely not be less than what anyone paid in the group buy, and the reason is because I am putting 20 k on the line to build a bunch of subaru products that will be completed and ready to ship. In the group buy we received your money and it inspired us to build like a bunch of chimps on coke. I don't know if that made sense... still want to know how much, i ordered today,ea82 4" kit, he gave me a good price but if the xmas prices are less id like to know, will you be posting them up? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I can take one of the tire on the swing gate this weekend and post it. As for the license plate ahhhhhhhhh errrrrrrr. Your just going to have to mount it on the bumper or wherever is appropriate. do you have a pic of the swing gate with a tire on it? where do you mount the lisence plate??

idosubaru Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 shady, this time around i'd like to aim for a november buy of the lift kit, i have no lift experience at all. what will i need to address to install on an XT6 (or an XT if you don't know the XT6)? just a steering extension, is that it? i have pulled motors, transmissions, resealed motors, have a welder and air compressor.....can i pull this off on an XT6? thanks, gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think in this case we can give you ginnea pig status!!! I have not lifted a XT6 yet with one of our lifts, but from what I know it should be similar to the EA82. I saw one lifted wcss7 and I think it was Qman, he would know if a EA82 lift would fit. I have brought this up on several occassions and have not heard anyone reply on the subject. JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I know you sell your wheels in a set of 4, but what about a spare? always nice to have a full size spare bolted to the back on one of your swing gates or on top of the roof rack.

operose Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 FWIW I don't think Qman is using any body lift at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadyirishmen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yes we do sell spares a few members on the board have done so. Kingbobdole and madmountain monk. The cost for an extra is (cost for set)/4 x 1 or just simply (cost for set)/4= cost for one. I know you sell your wheels in a set of 4, but what about a spare? always nice to have a full size spare bolted to the back on one of your swing gates or on top of the roof rack.

BlindSight Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 am really interested in almost everything but prices are a big issue, have had a credit card for over a year and havn't used it yet, so am seeing a good excuse to start making some payments.

Shadyirishmen Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 Just to let everyone know we have been spending this whole weekend building and designing an EA to EJ adapter. It may be product that we are going to offer so keep tuned in and I will give updates on the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYE_WHY Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 the 3" lift for EA82 (used on an XT6) won't be available for this deal? just the 4"? I was wondering that too. If I remember correctly, 4" lift takes a little while 3" is just bolt on? Is it true that just the 4" is going to be included in the bargain Shady?

Shadyirishmen Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 4x3 4x4 inch are all the same now no fabrication they are all just bolt on lift kits. We don't make 3" inch lift kits, well cause... Their weak sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
