I hit a tree and am replacing my bent skins bumper and upper A frame. But finished the season with three more rides. Probably would have been a smashed pipe. Going back with another skins on my pro.. It plowed slot of smaller trees and held up great. [ what trail ].

Stronger bumper is recommendedStock cant handle any hits. This is the tree and the result, and two pictures of my new own fabricated bumper.
Nice job on the rebuild, looks better than the stock one.
the bulkhead tabs will go before the AL heim joints, I've run AL heims for years on racecars and all sled suspention areas, trust me a top quality AL heim from Aurora is actually stronger (almost double ) than a cheap mild steel heim
1/2 inch economny mild steel rod end...max load 8650 pounds
1/2 inch aurora aluminium xd rod end ..max load 15600 pounds
ansd I totally agree that the stock bumper is very weak, I had a tree hit at pretty slow speed and it took bumper and put a whopping big dent in the pipe...pipe could not be fixed..

Looks good but it is twice the price of others. I know it is moly, but seems a bit much.
FTX's stuff is always of the highest quality. You get what you pay for. That is why I have been a customer of theirs for almost 6 years now. Curt will not put anything out there unless it is of the highest quality and he can back it up. They (Curt and Justin) always do everything in their power to make sure each and every customer is satisfied. Being in business that long, you would expect there are some tools out there that you just cannot please, but I have not met any.
Think about it, has FTX ever been flamed on any forum.... ever? I have not seen it.
That goofy Phazer that they built for one of their customers from Oregon has not surfaced that I know of. It was a very cool idea, not sure it went anywhere....

Nice work. I like the way that the bumper is shaped. Seems less likely to collapse and absorb all the energy of a hit. Looks like it will deflect it to the sides. Also, really like the rod ends. Super clean and professional. The Polaris Extremely Crappy Bumper is just smashed flat tubing where it attaches there. Just like a Chinese made Wal Mart bicycle. Also if you do tweak it you can pull it back straight as it's chromo not aluminum that cracks when you try and bend it back. Very cool. A+
