Another Ute Bumper Group Purchase

[Sregorb]

That's right, you saw it correct, that's what I found today. So if you missed the first group deal, this must be for you. I'm not interested (already have a DOR) so I'm a neutral party here. I just know there are alot of members interested in these kind of bumpers.

I just got off the phone with Layne (of Denver Off-Road Bumper fame) and he is now a North American distributor for Ute Bumpers. I guess he's cornering the market for high quality, heavy duty aluminum bumpers. I was calling orginally to shoot the breeze and see if he would ever be interested in a DOR group purchase (since someone inquired about it on the board) but in true form he said he can't go any faster with them and won't sacrifice quality. Only a factory item would work with consumer demand anyway.
Layne is collecting the names of interested at 970-858-8400.
Of course the first thing anyone that reads this is going to ask is, "How much?". The Ute polished aluminum bumper is being offered for $1500/ea plus shipping. Add $100 for a winch plate. He said he needs a minimum order of 15 to make the deal happen. Anyone know what the first run was priced at?

Here's a few pics from a previous thread:

and try a quick search on ute for other threads on them.

So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in you can call Layne and get all the details. Hope this helps someone.
