Over 700 views so I would say there is some interest.

Hmmmm....sounds promising. Would you T-guys allow an SUV to tag along? I could bring a bunch of THORparts if that would help? (Parking Lot Specials)

Yeah shipping is a killer on bumpers...usually $200 for a bumper/gate combo. If anybody else wants anything...sound off...skids, bumpers, etc. I can load up the THORtrailer, and make the 11-hour trek from Indy. Maybe we can have a "group install party" around the campfire at night! Pre-pay only on this stuff, cause I don't want to haul a bunch of parts cross-country, unless I know I they'll be gone! Shoot me a wish-list PM and I can get you some details.

Yup. I got a pretty good pile of em...at least 5 or 6. They are boxed-up and ready to go. Most are pre-drilled and come with the spare tire gate. They have been test-assembled on a bench, and then knocked-down and packaged. Each bumper and gate has been numbered to make sure you get the actual matched set. Its probably not necessary but, this guarantees that everything bolts together as it did on the test bench. Some guys may be fine with the spare under the truck...so I also have some "un-drilled" T-bumpers (if you don't want the gate). These come with all the reinforcements for the gate, and can be drilled at a later date should you want to add one. Both versions require cutting of the stock plastic fenders, and come with all the parts needed to finish off the installation.
I won't be making any more of them...simply not enough Ts running around to justify full-tilt production.

I am extremely interested in a H3 rear bumper. Rausch Creek is a little less then 4HR from me. Due to some health issues I have been dealing with, I don't know if I will be wheeling (I guess it depends on how I am feeling) but I would still love to come. It would be great to meet some H4O members & rigs, pick up said bumper, and depending on how I feel go wheeling or at least tag along with someone else.

I got a customer in the Allentown, PA area that is wanting a T-rear bumper/gate. So, I casually mentioned the Rausch Creek run and that I could bring his parts and hand em off in person. Seems like he is all about meeting me there, and I assume he would want to go wheeling. Don't know if he is a forum guy or not...anyway, thats two more H3's.
P.S....Still got room in the trailer Hans3T & 08SolarFlareH3!

I understand...no sweat. Lets cave-in your stock bumper first...(hint: I do alot of insurance work!)I would love one...I just don't have the funds for it right now...
I'm a 90%-er at this point. I'de like to go regardless but, selling a few bumpers really makes the trip worthwhile, (ei = biz write-off). Retail is a funny thing. I talk to about (10) "tire-kickers", for ever (1) "buyer"...so until I see some coin, I'm still on the fence. I have several guys in PA & NY that want bumpers but, nobody has boned-up the cash yet. Frankly...I'de like to get these T-bumpers out of my shop, as they take up a bunch of floor space! I need the space to park my H3 and get it up on jacks for some winter mods.
:shifty: Yesss... Indeeeed...
Would any of you be offput if a couple of my buddies with 4x4 vehicles came on the trip? Nothing is certain, and I'm not sure if they plan to wheel or not, but I have a buddy with a ZR-2 Blazer, an '08 Wrangler and a '11 Silverado 4x4 on a 3" lift who have expressed interest in going. None have wheeled before, but I am pretty confident their rigs could do greens all day.
It would limit our ability to run blues (or harder) but I suppose we could split into two groups as well. Nothing is concrete yet...they've only expressed interest. Just thought I'd throw a feeler out there.

Im going to have to miss this one, its a bit of a haul for me for just 1 or 2 days of wheeling, and itll be hard for m e to get the 2 extra days off work for travel days.
Hopefully next time.

I will be there with my T, +1 H1.. Both have winches & recovery gear and some first aid equip. as well. We are willing to take any trails and assist in anyway needed for the run. Still working out if we will be there friday night or not, but thats what were aiming for as of now. As far running with other makes of vehicle's, hey the H1&2's let us tag along...
