New bumper Design... Help give it a name...

[jeff@rokmen]

Been working on a new bumper design since August... We finally got it finished...

1/4" Steel Construction
DOM Prerunner Style Tube Winch Guard
TIG welded
Integrated Winch Mount (Custom, fully TIG welded fairlead mount shown in the pictures)
Shackle-Lock(TM) design (Physicaly locks the shackle into the bumper, which is then fully TIG welded front, inside, inside top, and inside bottom)
Ramped profile for an increased approach angle
Drilled and Tapped for easy license plate mounting

So here is the tough part we need some help with - what should we call it?

Feedback and suggestions welcome...

Thanks for the good words, this one has been in the works for a while, finally made it happen. The details tend to mean a longer R&D time, but we think the final result is fantastic.

Keep the name's coming, anything is a possibility :)

It's possible we may run a presale if we have enough interest so let us know what you think!

Great looking bumper. I'm going to borrow one from Office Space here from the software company they worked at, "Initech" and go with:


Inirock. 'no rock's too big...'

And along those same lines:

Iniware. 'Anywhere your imagination can take you...our iniware line of bumpers will be there for you...'

I like the Recovery series. Fits with the integratedfairlead mount and all. And I like the bumper; would consider ordering one up depending on pricepoint.

Jeff & Dave - Great looking bumper, I love it!

For some reason 'Grapler' sticks out at me.

I also like 'Anchor'.

I took a look at some rock climbing lingo for ideas, and I like 'Bomber' as well.

BOMBER - Has extremely high quality and dependability. Usually refers to a handhold, but can also describe a piece of equipment, a campsite or any generally positive or beneficial item or state of being.

CRUX - The most difficult section of a climbing route.

GRUNT - One who can be persuaded by any means (promises, deception, love, coercion) to stay on the ground and provide a safety belay for a procession of climbers. Also the person who follows the leader cleaning up the gear. Termed due to the grunting/groveling sounds imminating from the follower while trying to get that bomber nut out!

SPECTRA - One of a host of new super strong fibers used for slings and thin cord.

Still think I like 'Grapler' the best, but let us know what you decide.

"LAND SLIDE"

OR

"ROCK SLIDE"

[DaneTrain]

The Shocker. ;)

Hey, wanna make me up a pre-runner bar? LOL.

[74BuckinBronc]

Go all original with

TJ winch bumper

OK in all seriousness... Boulder blade or Stone blocker

J.D.

On a side note, do you build custom bumpers for any vehicle?

[xr8d_xj]

Call it "lamp" or "carpet"...

[jeff@rokmen]
