Hello Lost Jeep Mebers,

My name is Jarrod and was referred to tis site by 'irollgen4s' to answer questions on custom bumpers that he has contacted me about fabricating out of steel, possibly even some heavy duty composite materials that would be extremely strong and MUCH lighter. We have been looking to move into the off road market and his inquiry came along at a really good time. I would like to get input on what the Jeep community is interested in as far as aftermarket parts, what kind of demand there is etc. I generally fabricate race car parts out of composite materials such as carbon fiber, kevlar etc. If there is something you would like to see made out of carbon fiber or Kevlar, please contact me and I'd be glad to hear bout it and answer any questions. Skidplates, snorkels, intake systems, hoods, body panels...even wheels are all things that are possible. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Welcome to LOST and can't wait to see what you come up with and what kind of prices you have.

The Sundance Rockstar bumper was awesome! To bad the company bombout. Would love to see a reasonably price one that looks some thing like that.

Looking forward to see what ya come up with

Welcome to LOST. I see as irollgen4s sent you here, are you in the tristate area... PA, NY, NJ? Would definitely be interested in some new products. Bumper wise especially but those other things sound GREAT also.

What do you envision? With these composite materials in mind Im imagining a winch capable steel center and skeleton with composite accents to fill it in. Tube like, maybe with a stinger \ pre runner option.

Fenders with increased track width and upward travel in mind?

Low clearance cross bars for the stronger style factory rails. Light tabs or optional frontal extension for a light bar.

I cant do this all day today as the family awaits my travel and arrival. Enjoy your weekend PacWest (as I read the username I wonder if you are NOT on the east coast) and I hope to here yours and others thoughts on the above soon.

-Mike
