This ($842)...



Or this ($749)...

Honestly I do like the Calmini one more, but I also like the fact that Craisy is trying to be different, ans showing us all that there are other options out there. What is the point of this post anyway?

advertisement.

f-n hell, did that guy cut a notch into the liftgate for the hinge to fit?!

#1...I mean 2, or maybe 1. I don't know, which one should I like?
Obviously #2 is nicer but was it an option when the first one was put together?

its not realy fair to compare two bumpers together right now

"calmini" one is finished and has its bugs worked out
"Crazy" bumper is not finished and only on the truck for couple of days,

so Ian: why dont you delete this thread and come back to this when both of them will be finished


we would not want to compare Finished ARB bumper to Calmini bumper in testing all bent and stuff . Right?

Not trying to be ECJO, just trying to be fair in comparing 2 bumpers

I don't like either one of 'em... I like to SEE out of my rear window!

Neither would work for me either. I use my trailier hitch too much. But if I was in the market #2 definitely.

Ian, please don't take this the wrong way, but why are you steeling/borrowing/whatever pictures posted to another Message board and posting them here?

If Crazy wanted this posted here, I'm sure he would have done it himself.

Thanks,
Cliff

Ian is just taking a flame war from the xterra4x4.com board to this one. I didn't think that was his style.

*sigh*

Just what I was thinking.
What is the point of this Ian?

I'm not stealing anything. Images posted to the web can be linked, that's how the web works.

I'm not starting a flamewar either, I'm just interested in a non-biased opinion about the bumpers, which is impossible to get on the AF board.

I wanted to get a feeling from a more rational crowd who aren't afraid of offending anyone by posting their own feelings.

Bullshit. Balderdash. Hogwash. Bunkum.

That must be because it's a 'clique' board, compared to this one. :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAHA! That's funny.

#2 looks much better. #1 looks as though it was put togather a tad hastily.(cutting the back hatch...c'mon) Looks li shiznit Looks like it was borrowed from a differant truck!

I stand corrected. Mike is bringing the flame war over.

Brent

You can't stand it can you Mike ?

There are actually people on XOC who don't listen to you or me.

What will you do next ? Post more "BWAHAHAHA's" and "Bullshits" ?

Nothing useful has ever come out of your keyboard, you are nothing but a common troll looking for acceptance.

The definition of a 'clique' is "a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes"

With 3000 members with diverse backgrounds and interests, driving all types of Xterras, XOC will never be a clique, and that's why you hate it, because you can't have a controlling voice in it.

Ian: Why are you ignoring this post ?
is that because you got nothing to say about it ? or ... (why ?)

Why arent you posting that calmini fucked up their UNFINISHED bumper ?

i got that pic some where, i can post it next to ARB and then we can ask the same question, BUT that would be VERY unfair !
its UNFINISHED.

Why don't you post a pic of a KMA bumper?

I'm not sure how you got caught up in this one vs. the other stuff anyways.

CD posted a pic of his new bumper.
People posted what they thought.
Someone asked why he went this route and he posted his opinion.

Since you are not giving all the facts here are some about CD's bumper:
http://www.wildernessracks.com/swing_away_tire.html

CD also ordered the Gas can holder so the cost of the bumper will be less than the $842.

Once completed it will be more functional than the stock Calmini.

Still not sure why you don't just delete this topic :rolleyes:

The bumper CD mounted and showed pictures of is finished. It's a finished bumper manufactured by Wilderness for a Jeep, I doubt they would sell an unfinished bumper.

He posted what he claimed was his finished bumper, except for a strip of diamond-plate along the top.

This has nothing to do with the prototype (look it up in a dictionary) front bumper that Calmini brought to GOX, so try trolling elsewhere marmot-boy.

I already explained why.
I want to hear from people who are not best friends with Daisy, and aren't afraid to post their opinion for fear of getting shunned.

What makes you think that people are not posting their own opinions?

I could understand the point if the topic was "Hey I just got my new bumper and it is way better than the Calmini" but that was not the case.

Have you seen that bumper ?
Seriously, what do you think of it ?

I saw the bumper before it was mounted and it seems to be very well made and quite solid.

I liked the finish and the options that are available.

Yes it is not a perfect fit for the X but with a little work I think that it will look great.

There is also another consideration (really for us CDN guys). That is his total cost installed. The other options from the states will have shipping and brokerage which is not cheap.

I still think that this could have been done of the AF board.

You bringing it here under that topic is really lame...

Lame how ? Should this information only be for the small group who control the AF board ?

Anyway, it got censored over there so I'm glad it's here.

People can judge for themselves, instead of having their judging done for them.

Unbiased opinion.

Functionally=CD's
Looks=Calmini's

CD looks like somebody chopped off a yard gate and mounted it on his truck, but you can add more junk to it easier. It also sits closer to the truck.

Calmini's looks like a pain in the ass to add anything to other than a spare tire.

A couple of other pennies and unasked question: Nissan has yet to make a better SUV than the pre 96 pathy.
That (OEM tire carrier) can easily hold up to 35" tires, mount other crap on it, not to mention a few other items that are better suited for off-roading. The OEM tire carrier for the pathy's have yet to be met or beaten by an aftermarket for the X. Meaning neither tire carriers are that great. It's sad Nissan didn't design it from the get go.

The only real limit on the Pathfinder tire carrier not fitting the Xterra is that the Xterra has no steel below the turn signal.

I would think some removal of the plastic bumper corner might allow one to mount, but it would be a lot of work.
