This is pretty urgent...
I just called Jim to order myself a bumper, and found out that it takes 4-5 weeks to get one.... My car is in shop, I cannot wait 4-5 weeks for a bumper. Does anyone know if there is any place, any way to buy Shrockworks bumper and get it shipped right away/pick up would be even better. I'm in Denver.
If not - are there any comparable (somewhat comparable by quality) front bumpers that I should consider... Thanks all.
Like I said this is urgent, so any help is appreciated.
Oh, and we're talking about my wrecked 2005 Off Road.

No, it will take a really long time for it to come. Sorry buddy! You just have to wait. It will be worth the wait though. I have been waiting for a skid plate for 6 months now. Can you find a buddy who has replaced the bumper on theirs and use it in the mean time?

Maybe if you slip Jim an extra $200, he could make you one in a snap...

sorry about your dillema, but a month or more on his bumpers is normal. he makes all of them to order.

you could check out the calmini bumper too. most people will agree that it isn't quite as good as jim's, but you might be able to get it faster

You can check out the TJM bumper. Alot of people like it, and I bet you could get it faster.

TJM bumper

Sorry, Just noticed its a 2005, doesn't show they have one on their website for the new X's.

Currently Shrock and Calmini are your only options for a real bumper for an 05+. You could try calmini, but I bet their wait would be about the same.

More than likely they will tell you two weeks but you'll wait eight months.

There is also ARB.

Why is it so urgent to get the bumper on right away? I dont know but the truck might even be street legal without (as long as you still have the steel section from the original on). I feel like when I got my ARB years ago it was a few weeks wait but nothing that terrible.

Calmini said 4-6 weeks backorder...
Well, for one the camping season will be over by the time I get one from Jim. For two - I doubt legality of driving without a bumper. And for three - I don't even have the reinforcment bar (aka the steel section from the original). Mine was pretty bent and I figured rather then buying that, cover, skid plate and all the crap Nissan put there, I'd get a one piece, $1000, solid bumper that would look good and stay strong. One hell of a dilema.
Crap... I would've ordered it, but what if he won't even get it in 6 weeks. I definitely cannot wait for 6 months!

Do you think I really should try to talk to Jim if he can expedite the order? Those of you who may know him: any suggestions?

The actual bumper is not the plastic piece. The part that offers protection was behind that. And I know of at least 3 Xterras driving around Denver with out the plastic gaurd on the front. They have been doing it for years.

Hey Kev, he said he doesn't have the steel part of the bumper.

l1r, 4-5 weeks is what you have to deal with for the quality you get from Jim, and yeah it sucks but you can't put a rush on quality.

Oh, check out www.roninwheelers.com for a more local aspect on the problem.

Consider the 4-5 weeks a very optimistic timeframe. When I ordered my front and rear bumper back in February, it took 11.5 weeks. Like the other posters have said, you can't rush quality. I have nothing but great things to say about Jim and Shrockworks. Waiting is not easy, but well worth it.

Do a search in the Manufacturer's Row for "Shrockworks Shipping" to see more realistic time estimates.

I think I still have the "metal" part of the stock bumper. If I can find it (It should be sitting down next to the garage, but it might have been scrapped already) and you want to pay shipping, I'll send it to you.

yeah, I can wait, not just 5, but 10 weeks, as long as I can use my Xterra while at it... I hate driving that 96 Subaru Legacy Outback I got for cheap to have something to run around in while X is in shop.
That would be greatly appreciated (if you have it). What do you think shipping would be? $50? $75?
Anyone in Colorado has this part I can borrow/buy for a reasonable price (until I get my Shrockworks)... That would be easier for all.
Guess I'll post that in WTB section..

By the way, thanks guys, I appreciate all the patience and help I've been seeing on this messageboard. I am looking forward to hanging out with you (at least CO ones ) as soon as I get my truck fixed up. It must be owning the Xterra that gives people all the positive qualities j/k

OK, order placed on August 3. Will see how long it will take in reality.
Talked to Jim prior to ordering, he was cool. Said he will get it out in 6 weeks. So, hoping... to have it before snow season.

4x4parts carries the Shrock bumper... I have no idea what the time line on them are though... Shrock from 4x4parts

I'm sure they order it from Jim after you order it from them. It's just due to their size, they might get them a bit faster...

Are you talking about powder coating, or fabrication?

I have never seen Shrock front bumper in person (but I have seen Shrock rear bumper), but I wasn't aware that most people think that Calmini products are inferior.

I'm not intending to start war here... Your comment just got me to wonder...if that was well-known fact on xoc...

I ordered at the end of March and it took 12 weeks.

i was in the same boat as you back in october. i got in a wreck and needed the front end so instead of buying everything i just bought the shrock bumper. he told me 4 to 6 weeks too but ended up getting it about 2 months later. i had to drive around without a bumper for a while and look stupid. down here in sc it aint illegal to go without a bumper. i dont know about where you live though.

Da*n... oh well, too late anyways, already ordered, money already paid (which I disagree with - until you deliver finished product, do not take the entire sum. Half maybe - to cover your material, etc.)
My shop is being slow as hell anyways - a month and a half after the crash, they are yet to get started on it next week. Partially my fault - took me a while to get the parts purchased and delivered.
Shortbus00 - sweet interior. Did it yourself?

Yesterday (Sep 11) got a shipment notification! Jim's the man! 5.5 weeks from the day of order. I'm glad I worked with that guy, he's awesome, and I have a lot of respect for people who can stick with the promised schedule. The other best part - My shop is painting my straightened up X, so by the time bumper gets here, she will be ready for it
Also got Volant intake for it. Should be here by this weekend.
Damn, this accident cost me almost 7K, but I got a few aftermarket parts, I would normally never paid so much money for.
Anybody knows how long freight from Texas to Colorado would take? I'd imagine couple of days...
