Stuck stock truck schmuck

[CheetaraX]

The expense philosopher was talking about was the cost of Calmini for what it is. The idea being that if he was to spend that much money he would want more that just a flush tow hitch, tire carrier and 2 other tow points. But what you do get is bolt on construction that has been tested. Quite a few people have expressed that the like the bumper, I am waithing for more add on goodies (gas can and highlift mount to name two).

Basically, rear bumpers aren't cheap period! Unless of course you get stuck with KMA turd that you spend a couple hundred or more on to fix up. The demand for a rear bumper will always be much less than a front one making it cost more. If you think $750 is spendy for a well built rear bumper, take a look at how much I am spending on a rear bumper for my Rover. http://www.trekoutfitters.com/discovery/ds2rear.htm

It's all how you look at it though. I would rather drop $1100.00 now and be protected instead of potentially damaging sheet metal.

Doesn't ARB make one for your truck Mosi? Or did you like that one better?

[Mosi]

They do for the D1 but not the D2 yet.

That's a receiver shackle made by Warn. You can probably find one anywhere Warn Winches are sold, but here is one place:

Right on thanks Lopaka!

[ChuckH]

yep, it's a Warn shackle and it does fit in 2" receivers. They run about $50, and it's worth it. I haven't used mine yet offroad, but I did tow my friend's VW Passat for a block when his alternator died and we couldn't go any further!

Good deal. Thanks ChuckH.

I paid less than $400 for my KMA, then spent $80 re-drilling the mounting holes. That's it. I must be the lucky one.
