I than asked him about a rumor I heard on Facebook, that his bumpers where made or originated in Korea and this was his reply:

"
I feel very annoyed to find out that these rumours are going around the internet, we pride ourselves on our workmanship and I can assure you that they are 100% British manufactured.

We have our website www.tp4x4.com and also a facebook page Torque Performance 4x4 where we have photos of the bumpers being manufactured on our shop floor, customer feedback and also updates on various projects we have in progress.

Our US distributor has our products in transit so set up should be imminent.

If you have any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Paul"

So far I like the guy. Sounds like they know what they are talking about and they make good products. Zack why dont you donate to me your D2, then buy yourself a D1 with all that better flexing you speak of? lol
I got the exact email from them a couple of days ago, but I gave them my zip code as well. I haven't received a shipping quite yet but he may be waiting for me to tell him what I would want to add in the way of options.

I'm a little confused though because I asked for a quote in the ultimate Bumper. I'm not sure what it includes.

You can also have the lamp bar added as well. Personally I think you should wait a couple weeks until the US distributor is set up so you dont have to pay for over seas shipping and you wont have to deal with currency converting. But it looks like a fully loaded Ultimate HD bumper complete with all options will sell for about the same price as the ARB bumper if Im not mistaken.

Their shipping is expensive. Torque Performance wanted £200 to ship a bumper from the UK to the Port of NY.

LRdirect shipped sliders from the UK to my house, via DHL, for £120.

It's a common problem with UK companies, it's a real PITA. Some won't even ship abroad and many that do charge an 'arm and leg' to ship outside the UK. They soon forget about recessions unfortunately. I had to buy from the US some special impact socket reducers as the price was better including shipping. A buddy always buys his specs from the US as they are quicker delivery and better priced.
