    I think the Isuzu stock bumper is +/-$350, so I really didn't save that much money, but the shop did make it out of the same tubing that they make their roll cages out of, then capped both ends so that it won't rust from the inside out. After welding and cleaning they shot a coat of self etching primer on it so it will probably last longer than the VX will.

    Now that you brought this back up, I need to call the shop to see if they would still be interested, and what it would cost, to make more of these for other VX owner.
