Road Rhino Bumpers

[firelizzard]

I was just looking on ebay and found this company Road Rhino Bumpers. They are selling front bumpers for $750, and rears for $500 The design doesn't look bad, but I know you get what you pay for. Anyone heard of them before? I don't want this to be another Alien Patrol!

I have a hunch it is the new Alien Patrol. They look to be Road Armor knockoffs. Without bigger pictures, I can't even tell a difference. Good price for a bumper. Ask if you can just pick them up. Find a local member to where ever the seller is located and have them check it out.

I emailed the owner and asked if they made bumpers to accomodate 3" body lifts, or brackets to move the bumper up. He said they could do what ever I needed. He said his name is Elijah. He is located in university Park, IL. phone number is 1-619-957-5051. Any members in the area willing to give him a call and swing by? The bumpers look good, and are a good price if this is true.

Im with Jeff on this one. They look to much like roadarmor. I think MikeG lives pretty close to their. If it is the real deal, its a pretty good price for them.

That's why I want to know if they are real. If so I bet they would get a good bit of business from this site alone. But as they say "a fool is soon parted with his money." I don't want to be the fool though. They take Paypal, and I believe Paypal has a new buyer protection plan to stop people from getting screwed.

I dont know if paypal is any better than it use to be. Ive lost $65 and almost 80 and have yet to see any of it back. If they buyer deletes his account and they have no way to get money back, then your [censored] out of luck i guess. But i hope its better than before!

Well hopefully someone can swing by and check them out. I will not order until I know for sure they are not the next alien patrol. Although I just got offered a brand new Milemarker SE12000C for $400 from someone who needs the money.

I could make a run over there for you this week sometime. I live about 40 min. west of there. I'm not sure exactly when,(what day) but, I'll do it as soon as I can. Do they have a show room or were they willing to let someone in the shop? I'm playing Mr. Mom while I'm laid off and school starts this week, so I'm pretty busy this week.

No guarantees on what day...Does that work for you?

He didn't say anything about a showroom, just that I could call anytime. He said that they would do what ever I wanted because they were all about giving the best customer service they could. You can tell him that another member gave you his contact info, and that there have been a lot of scams with bumper manufacturers. Tell him that if he checks out it could really benefit his business, and that's why you want to stop by, to help him out. If you want I will call him and ask, and let you know tomorrow. Just let me know. If he is legit then there should be no problem, if he says no then we know he's another alien patrol! I really appreciate you taking the time to help check this out. Thanks. Tom

FYI, the people that own Alien Patrol are Jim and Sandy Terry. So if the guy is Middle Eastern or something, I would guess it's not them. But the fact that someone shows up to inspect their work will hopefully keep them honest. If they are legit and the product is good, I might buy bumpers for my truck from them. Those prices are pretty darn good.
