B&M...any updates on your rear bumper availability.
I've been leaning towards the Skinz Dan Adams one, but a person literally cannot buy one right now...they are sold out everywhere and nobody knows when they will get them in stock...personally, I am put off by their lack of product on the market and am looking to go a different route for a rear bumper.
Anyone actually received a rear bumper for the Axys that sits down on the edges of the tunnel to help protect that lip????????????????

Cat bumper?
Nobody has gotten ANY as they haven't arrived yet. Brand new chassis and a company the size of Skinz have so many project going on that it take time. Last I heard they were done and getting ready to ship.
I will be in Paynesville tomorrow. Want me to go jack 'em up?

Ours will sit down on that rolled lip to protect it. Not just cover it but fit the radius of the factory bend to reinforce it. I will stay as late as I have to at the shop this weekend to get these ironed out and get pictures up.

I will be ordering one of yours whenever its available. The rear lip is very vulnerable to bending with out a bumper to support it. Looking forward to it!

Any word on when these will be available for purchase B&M??
Had a couple things change with them after building the prototype. I'll build one up tomorrow for a pic and get the real ones coming so we can Weld them up. Too many things going on around here lately.

Ok. Rough edit here. Will be made from 1/8" aluminum sheet (5052). Press braked lower edge will match the radius of the tunnel lip. 1-1/4" cross tube welded in. Also will have a rib pressed out on the side plate to allow the bumper to sit flat on the tunnel side and not sit crooked over the lip from the cooler edge. Plates are on the way from laser cutting. Bumper will be on our site to order in the next couple days. 155 at the moment, I'll verify perfect fitment here on a 155 and revise for the 163 as soon as the plates get here and order them for the long sled.

I think this is exactly what the rear tunnels need for added support. The prototype you showed me at your shop looks great! The 2016 tunnels are tapered less than the 13-15's and they needed support so this should be a great product. On some aftermarket parts I don't even mind if things weigh more than stock if it saves my pocket book and missed riding time (from a bent tunnel) in the long run. Please put me on your waiting list!
Love the lower radius match and rear tunnel support. Very well thought out. I'm in as well.
Another pic of ours. Did my personal sled in highlighter yellow so its easier to see the bumper geometry. we also offer a tunnel brace that works with the factory bumper. the side supports match the factory edge.
Will you be adding powder coating options to match the snow check sleds?
FYI. Your website is down as of the time of this post.

It doesn't look like they make an Axys bumper - which this thread is about.
