Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The bumper is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, providing exceptional durability, corrosion resistance and the authentic appearance that scale enthusiasts demand. Stainless steel maintains its finish far better than mild steel alternatives, ensuring your investment looks pristine for years of use.
- Hand Welded Assembly — Each bumper is individually hand welded rather than mass-produced through stamping or casting, ensuring superior structural integrity and the kind of attention to detail that separates premium scale accessories from budget alternatives. Hand welding allows craftspeople to perfect joint strength and appearance.
- Laser Etching Detail — Precision laser etching adds authentic graphics and detailing to the bumper surface, creating that genuine ranch-style appearance with sharp, permanent markings that will never fade or scratch off like painted graphics. This technique allows for intricate detail work that would be impossible to achieve through traditional methods.
- Silver Anodised Finish — The protective silver anodised coating provides a clean, professional appearance that complements both chrome and bare metal scale details on your rig. Anodising creates a durable protective layer that resists weathering, UV fading and general wear far better than paint alone.
- Precision Hardware Included — The package includes all necessary stainless steel M1 x 3mm cap screws (black) and matching silver M1 regular nuts, eliminating the need to hunt for compatible fasteners and ensuring your installation uses hardware that matches the quality of the bumper itself.
