Anyone seen this company?

Found this company on Facebook. Anyone ordered parts here? A little pricey but looks like good quality. Check out the aluminum grill insert.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

I saw the winch mount the other day and thought about getting one. I like his tow shackle set up but it won't work on my 72.

I’ll be ordering the seat backs and the grill insert. Hopefully they are as nice as the pictures.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

They have some cool stuff. The background on the grill photos is extra busy and really hard to get a good look at.

Im not a tow hook person so I really like his ring mounts for up front.

I like those as well even though I have a set of extreme bend hooks.

Ordered the grill and seat backs. I’ll post some pictures when they get here. They take a few weeks to build.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

He removed the seat backs due to the price in steel and aluminum going up. I’m not sure if he is waiting out a price reduction in cost or will raise the price to purchase them. Hard to say but from our conversation they are expensive and difficult to make. I’ll take some pictures of the grill when it shows up. I’m just not a fan of the plastic is why I bought these.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

Here’s a quick update. I received both the seat backs and grill a couple weeks ago. The seat backs are pretty nice and I put some original seat backs to them and they look to be identical in shape. The screw holes look to line up exactly as well. I may chamfer them to inset the screws though. I went with plain steel so I’ll be getting them coated locally. I only did this because I have parchment interior and wanted to make sure the color is correct. As far as the grill it’s a nice solid piece. There will not be broken pieces on this bad boy. I’ll know how it lines up in the following weeks when I get a chance to reinstall my grill surround. I’ll try to shoot some pics in the next few days. In all it’s pricey but these will last a lifetime and make the other aftermarket choices feel like what they are. Cheap plastic. Just my opinion.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

Eventually I will get one of his grills. I just have too many other big ticket things to buy the next couple of months. It sure looks nice.

Re: Anyone seen this company?

They just listed a polished version. Nice looking but expensive. It must be a lot of work to polish.

Yes it probably is but I will most likely get the un polished one and then polish just the face.
