Thanks Todd, I talked to Mark. Very nice guy. I got mine ordered. I appreciate you sharing your source. I owe you this :cheers: when ever we meet.

Thanks for the info Todd, I've got one on the way as well. Neil stated that the chrome was nice, some light rust possible on back side.
 
Now we just have to figure out the mounting hardware. I don't have any to duplicate. Anybody want to give this a shot.

I will report back when mine arrive.

My bumper arrived today...I am very pleased! There is some surface rust on the back of the bumper (as expected), but no blemishes on the visible surfaces on the bumper! Again very pleased! If anyone wants photos of the actual bumper that I recieved, I will be happy to e-mail them...I just can't figure out how to get photo's under 1MB to post on this site.
 
I purchased two of them and they arrived today. I wanted to actually drive up there (I live about 120 miles south of their place), but I couldn't arrange my schedule. Mine look just fine. For what it's worth, J&W has always be good for me. They are pricey though.
 
They do seem pricey with certain parts...I was shocked they wanted $500 for a windshield frame set-up, but I thought these bumpers were a steal!!!

I have yet to get down to my barn to take a photo of the bumpers that I purchased, but I will post them over the weekend.
 
I received my bumpers today and they were in nice shape--one actually a little better than the other but both should polish up nicely. I thought the price was a steal as well!

Anyone going to make the brackets? I put it out there to Scott but haven't seen him post a response yet--come on Scott!

Thanks again for steering this one Engbull--very much appreciated!

Best Regards, Dave.
 
Rear bumper brackets

I ordered a bumber too. How many people are interested in the brackets? I have the brackets on my Scrambler. I am willing to make a drawing if there is interest. I will also consider having the brackets made and selling for cost plus shipping. I would have to figure things out first and might take me a few weeks.

If nobody is doing it yet let me know. I might be able to work on a drawing next weekend (1/11/08).
 
I ordered mine from Collins Bros--$62 shipped. After all is said and done it's probably a wash with having someone here fab them, ship them, time to do so and all. And they're NOS pieces. My dos centavos . . . .
 
Got my bumpers in today. Great looking only surface rust under the backside. End caps needs cleaning and sprucing up. I had a cracked end cap when I opened it up so I sent an email to the guys with a picture. They had an email back to me within an hour stating they will have a replacement in the mail in the morning. Awesome guys to deal with.

thanks again Todd.

Well I finally ordered mine today. Talked with Neil. Says he only has about 30 left..... :)

Hmmmm, I wonder if someone has taken advantage of Engbull's find and is buying them and selling them on eBay now . . . .

Can't be that many sources for NOS rear bumpers. I'm concerned because it could sour the deal for others here if they want to buy further ones from J&W down the road . . . .

Negative on taking advantage of Todd's find. I bought (2) in hopes of getting a near perfect one for a high end ground up and if both had been near perfect, one would be on the shelf. Worked with Neil at J&W and commend them on service and the quality of product, but with any shelf stocked item, the level of preservation varies. This one is just as described in the auction, with some pits in the step area. All other areas are in near perfect condition and polished up to a high luster, but not quite the overall bumper that I needed. Listing price, my cost plus ebay and paypal fees.

Really, they have 30 more! I wonder how many this group took?
 
When I talked to him he stated that they would like to get them sold before they start rusting. Interesting.... I bet this group got more than 20 but only a guess. I bought two one for each of my scramblers.
 
I bought 2 as well and an extra set of end caps. All for less then I would have spent on 1 from CB. Now I just need brackets.

How much were the extra end caps. I might call back for them, ithey'll be the first thing to break.
 
Awesome find

I just received mine today and wow I'm happy the end caps look great and the bumper looks good to. Just a few minor nicks, but after 6 years with no bumper this will look awesome.
