I'm glad this website is your business, otherwise my thinking of you would be far worse than what it is. I hope I can get some other great products from vendors that you have swagged. I've heard all the stories, but wait, you ban them before they can tell there side. Theres three stories to every event. You just choose to post one. I wish you luck in the future.
Good luck, Eddie. See ya.

The show LOST comes to mind for some reason...... there are also people that have opinions which we all know what they are like......and then people that have facts or pics in this case to provide defense of what they are stating....
Have fun with that
oh and see yah!

wow. you took the time to take all those pictures, why?......just to trash some company? 
do you weld?
i have seen this bumper up close and in person and while it may look pretty good in photos, i found the welds looked like tooth paste and in some areas, lacked good penetration and the craftsmanship/finishing on it was marginal at best. specifically, the lines where the plates came together were wavey and there were pinholes everywhere. while the design of their bumpers look a lot like hanson bumpers, i personally would have a hard time paying a grand or more for quality like this, or, should i say, lack thereof. but hey, that's just me.

nice first post.since you're here just to troll me, i guess it would make sense that you would purposefully forget that it's my job to take TONS of pic of everything JK that i can find. as far as "trashing" a company goes, i know the truth hurts but i'm just telling it like it is and backing it up with proof.

LOL!! yes, jeeperman did make great bumpers back when the original owner was still making them. after they got bought out in late 2006, the quality of them went downhill big time. in fact, the front bumper the new owners came out with for SEMA 2006 was so bad that the company who was going to put it on display decided to pull it out at the last minute. and, the 2nd stubby bumper they came out with was so bad that just about everyone who saw it ridiculed it. do i even need to mention that this company went out of business soon after the new owners took over it?
for whatever it's worth, i completely believe that the same person who made the latter jeeperman bumpers now makes these new bumpers as the quality of them - or lack thereof, looks to be exactly the same - sub par. but hey, that's just me.

From my personal experience with Red Rock Fab, their workmanship and quality is top notch. I agree the welds and quality of the bumper in your pictures looks very bad, but I also feel from personal experience that if a bad bumper made it out, Red Rock Fab would go out of their way to make it right. That is, if that is truly a production bumper.
Just my .02, for what it's worth. I've been around here long enough to know this will probably be my last post too. That's OK though. I've seen enough of these biased reports to not be too concerned.

i've been accused a lot of things but me talking about this company being better than sex is a new one.for what it's worth, Red Rock Fab actually wanted to sign up to be a sponsor here but we said no. i'm sure they have a great story to tell you as to why we turned away their money and denied them sponsorship and so far as i'm concerend, you can believe whatever they tell you.
