Default Blue Lake Off Road Bumpers??

Found these bumpers today and did a search on the forum and nothing came back.

Anyone heard of them?

Land Rover: bluelakeoffroad

I called them got some info. They have 4 full time fabricators and their turn around time is about 4-6 weeks. They are in Atlanta and offer pick-up for free, shipping runs 150-250 depending on location. With all the Bortoff crap going around, I wanted to see if anyone has done business with these guys.

Looks exactly like a Kennesaw Mountain Bumper. Down to the fact that they had those same pictures on their site, which is no longer around. Looks like they changed their name, and opened a new website, to get away from all the previous bad complaints. Google Kennesaw Mountain Bumpers to see.

What's up with Rover custom bumper dudes being so shiesty? Must be a conspiracy by ARB to convince people that paying $1100 for a bumper is worth it

I only paid $900 for my ARB bumper. Now I need to install it. It's either raining or I'm on call at work it seems.

yeah. A buddy of mine was helping someone install one on a Jeep JK, and I asked how long it took to show up... he said it was just a few days, and it came fed ex. So when I ordered mine, I didn't think anything of it. I'd just have it shipped to work, and I'd fold the seats down and toss it in the back. Then the semi showed up. I'm glad they had a lift gate. I joked for a few days that my bumper came is a box that was not only bigger than the box for the jeep bumper, it was a box bigger than a jeep.

I only paid $600 for a whole truck that came with a ARB winch bumper.
