Default Custom 4x4 Fabrication

Has anybody ever heard of Custom4x4 Fabrication? They seem to be putting out a pretty cheap bumper that looks nice but I've never heard anything about them. I was just wondering if anybody had anything to say.

unless they are local "I" would not use them, way to many small fab shops closing up these days, usually with clients deposits. jmho

I purchased one of those a few years ago and my current bumper actually has some features modeled after it ( front center winch section dimensions )It is made for a D1 Slight modifications you can get it to work On a d2
They do mostly jeep stuff, but the guy had a d1 several years ago. It is a fairly small operation, so like Drow said......risk involved in the smaller places.

Wait, C4x4 makes D1 bumpers? Their Jeep stuff is pretty nice. Where do you see it? Its not on their site..

EDIT: Ok, I see it now. It looks like it sticks out a lot.

Agree. Bad thing is that it isn't needed for winch. Ashame really.

where did you get your bumper that was modeled after it? or was it custom made. because I really like the aggressive look of the bull bar. or why they call their "pre-runner bar".

I made it. the one that I purchased is on a truck, that a buddy now has. I was able to get measurements and have it to look at. made it easy.
just the bumper on his, no bar. I did not purchase that bar with the bumper, but made one to mimic it (for the bumper that i made)..........hated it. i am sure theirs looks good, but mine did not. i made a completely different looking bar, in the end.
i thought it was a great bumper. very solid.
if it were not for the stick out too much part, i probably would have got another. but i had some time and wanted to change a couple of things...so.....

idk I can't make my own due to lack of equiptment and experience so I think I may just purchase their bumper.
