Default IronBulls Crappy Bumper and Service From Business Owner

Had a light bracket break on me when I was re-tightening it and I am sure some of you remember when I bent the hell out of the bumper bracket a while back. After looking at the lighting bracket I noticed it had rusted right through the stuff that's supposed to be just like Line-X.

So as you can tell by the pics and vids I decided to pull the bumper off and strip it. My intentions were to have it sand blasted and re-sprayed by real Line-X until I seen all the rust. So I called IronBull and left them a message asking to talk to Jesse the Vice President. Mind you that I called him them day before and he pretty much didn't wanna back his product.

Just as a reminder i have not even had this bumper a full 2 years yet.

So after talking to Bill from IronBull who cleans up Jeese Baldwins **** he offered me the new style bumper only costing me $350 in shipping. I get the new and low and behold the bumper does not inlcude mounting hardware(nuts/bolts). Lucky enough I still had the stuff from the last bumper. So here I am sitting in the driveway trying to mount this thing and oh my god, what a pain in the ***. You will see the huge spacers I had to install just to make it look level.

As for Jesse Baldwin this guy has shitty service for a business owner and I hope he never sells another bumper.

Unfortunately not the first I heard of this. However, I do know Bill from IBB, and he is an upstanding and knowledgable guy. That bumper looks like its made out of cardboard and exhaust pipe.

Crazy post, sorry to hear about your issues Steve. I didn't have good luck working with that company either.
