I must have missed this bumper some how, where Can I get one?

I thought I'd ask for everyone who sees the magazine article but missed it on the board.

I've been looking for the magazine but cant find it. If the bumper is anything like Wally's, I want one too. I know All J made his.

the1jferg · **Posted:** Thu Mar 09, 2006 11:40 pm

No, its not that one. Nothing like it or an ARB. Looks like something that "RockLizard" character would make.

Its a lean, mean, fightin machine, KISS simple kinda jobber.

It Is an All J. One of only five ever made and Not for sale....well, unless the Right price were to come along...... :wink:

It is actually going under the grinder/welder soon for some mods. Stay tuned..... :shock:

Dude, (I think thats what they say in Cali?, Maybe its Bud?)

I thought you guys were working for the betterment of the KJ community?
That bumper should be available for all. Bumpers, SFA, JEEZE!!!

I would only expect that it will be in production again soon, I want the 6th one (or 1 of the 5) shipped to me please. "No", would be to hold back on all of these KJ'rs and with a thing of beauty such as that....Just plain wrong.

Whats the right price??? Where are the other four???

Man, Please don't weld/grind that piece of art

It costs $7,000 to have one built. A couple guys tried to get a set. It was going to run $7,000 for 10 bumpers.

uvalax236,

You said: "It costs $7,000 to have one built. A couple guys tried to get a set. It was going to run $7,000 for 10 bumpers."

See thats why I don't lie....The truth is hard enough to believe. I do believe you though.

The only problem I'm having is with the math, you gotta use the "Ivory Soap Principle" 99.9% pure.

They spent the money, should have started production.

ROCK LIZARD....Get on it!

I'm in love with a bumper :roll:

Yes we've all heard the reason why All-J Products doesn't make a bumper for the KJ in mass, but why then is Rock Lizard making his? Will it somehow be more cost-effective for him, or is he just going out on a limb for the KJ community?
I guess we'll see if he's in debt from making all those bumpers with no one to sell them to (All-J's reason from not making them in large quantities, read: public).
I'm not trying to criticize anyone, and I know All-J has had the KJ community's back since day one, but I'm just saying, Rock Lizard is definitely going to produce front bumpers for the KJers willing to buy them, and we'll see if All-J's reason for not making their front bumpers in mass hold firm. I'm sure Rock Lizard will keep us updated on the procedure.

I do really like the looks of the ALL- Js bumper, if they make any more or not. Clean and simple. Wish they did, but then I can see why they would not want to. Business is business, you have to have a product to sell to the masses and not a few. Like the Frankenlift they can order 20 sets of everything they need to build them and have them sold as soon as they get them together, bumpers you cut fit weld and then wait to see.

Oh well still really cool

looking!!

For the record

We had MANY people say they wanted a bumper and we couldn't get 10 of them to pony up with the cash. The thread went on...and on...and on... and still only about 7 people were good to go for 700 each.

That was then...this is now

With luck Rock Lizard will make a KICK booty bumper and everyone that wants one will get one.

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Fri Mar 10, 2006 10:30 pm

Perhaps, the bumper was too far ahead of its time. Now that KJ's are getting paid off, getting more body damage (which makes owners wanna toughen it up), and we have a ton more owners on here; there might be more interest.

I will say this, give RL his chance, first.

Make an offer I can't refuse. :wink:

Hint: it would have to equal the cost of New front And rear w/ carriers from Rock Lizard. :shock:

Yes, I am Johnny Mathys!! And where you been?! RL has been talking fronts for a while now and even posted pics of the mockup in the thread.

I couldn't be happier with the magazine article except for that "needed a tug" statement which was bogus, Never saw a strap that day except to keep Marios MJ from rolling over.

the1jferg · **Posted:** Sat Mar 11, 2006 10:57 pm

I'm not on the forum very much, must have missed it :wink:

All kiddin aside, I thought he was doing rears only....I'll look around

DaveKJ02 · **Posted:** Sat Mar 11, 2006 11:04 pm

The wife just came home with the magazine! That is the bumper!! Not to take away from RL, his mockup bumper does look sweet-but I still like that sleek All-J bumper. I'm anxious to see a finished RL front bumper.

the1jferg · **Posted:** Sat Mar 11, 2006 11:05 pm

Folks, I can't find the RL front thread???
