PM MSHardeman. He should be able to get you the contact info for the shop that made his. Not sure if they would give up the design they came up with but they'd certainly be willing to sell you a copy of the bumper itself.Originally Posted by Maddawg

Ok, I'll check that out. The local shops around here are asking $400 per bumper to fab from scratch.
3" suspension lift, shocks: Rancho 9000, tires 33"x11.5", wheels 16"x8", offset= 0, no front sway bar

Are you talking about a push/bull bar? Or the bar that's inside the cladding?

I will listen next time.Listen to the force young skywalker.....

The bar that is referred to in inside the cladding. Most of them have rusted away. When I took mine off the remains would fit in a shoebox.
Super VXer
no such thing as a pre-made for the VX. Now i question what you mean by bumper though? Are you talking about something external to protect the vehicle for offroad use, or are you referring to something for urban use, or something to go behind the cladding? $400 would be EXTREMELY low if you are referring to an offroad style bumper. I paid over $1200 for mine, and its on a Toyota. It would be safe to assume around $1500-1800 for one on a VX, depending on how complicated and involved.
are you talking about 1 or 2?

Yeah, two bumpers. I'm talking more on the order of this:

Apparently I should have phrased the question more like pbkid...

Most would refer to that as a 'bull bar', i believe westin does make one for the vx, im sure someone else will chime in with a part #.
No worries ash, i think we have 2 conversations going on here

What would you guys do first? I have a bumper reinforcement that is completely rusted out. I even just ripped a dangling piece of with my bare hands. Or, would you replace a rocker. My drivers side rocker has a rust hole in it which I have filled. I can't afford both right away.
Super VXer
UH rocker for sure. The rocker is part of the body and if it rusts out, your vx is done for. That bumper 'support' is really only there to help line up the front bumper and protect your front end in a collision less than 15mph, like a parking lot bump.

Ok,
guys I ordered the one from rock auto when it came in I knew there was a problem when the box was 2foot long the part inside was a bumper support bracket for a Honda with the Iz1006121 part number on it .Called there tech line who contacted the supplier in California who stated the part number is correct but the picture on the website for rock auto is wrong hope this helps anybody DO NOT ORDER FROM ROCK AUTO UNLESS you call and have them verify that it has been corrected or you will be as disappointed as i was.
Super VXer
Bummer!!
Super VXer
Sorry. You should have read through the thread because I ordered the same thing from Rock Auto just to see what would show up.

Rock Auto is hit and miss... 50% success when I ordered motor mounts from them. They were very cooperative when I returned one of them. They even paid for the return shipping since the advertised part was completely wrong. Just call them and ask for free shipping.
