I heard 6 sets were sold at Busses by the Bridge, so I am curious if anyone has any feedback on these bumpers. See the link below. Thank you.

Man, those are sweet but $$$!
I like the winch option on the front, that is the first commercially available bumper w/ winch mount I have seen.

I have a nausea-inducing amount of money sunk into my van, but those bumpers still manage to give me some serious sticker shock.

Those bastards stole my idea for rear aux. lights. My crack legal/ninja team is in full stealth mode and on the case.

I love the hammock attachment. The Westy World bumpers are 10 gauge steel whereas the GoWesty is 12 gauge. They're super nice. I'm looking forward to more feedback.

| Almost worth it just for the hammock attachment. If my friends saw me lazing around in a hammock after I just took a hot road shower after a long surf session, I probably wouldn’t hear the end of it. Damn I want that hammock set up. |

I saw these monsters at Syncrofest. They are huge! Almost too big for the Vanagon in my opinion. But to each his/her own.

| Bump. I'm curious if anyone has any feedback as well. Any opinions about the affect that the size/weight has on performance? |

| If you're in the market, nice alternative bumper is from www.allterrainoverland.com, I'm not sure if he has any left though. I waited a while to get mine... |

FYI WestyWorld has some good content on their Instagram.
The most recent post features swinging carriers on their bumpers.

Does anyone know current history of All Terrain? Website does not appear to exist anymore.

We've got a set of front/rear bumpers, including a spare tyre swing-arm arriving in the UK on the 5th of June, with eventual delivery to the mechanics currently working on our van on the 15th of June.
I hope, really hope, that they're ready for the 228kg crate that's coming their way. |

Update on this: They have now cleared customs and VAT/tariffs have been paid. Due to be delivered to the mechanics on Tuesday next week  Very much looking forward to seeing them fitted. |
