Aluminess Products is the leading manufacturer of Aluminum bumpers and offroad accessories. They have been manufacturing aluminum bumpers for 10 years, during which time they have proven that aluminum bumpers can be made durable based on the engineering design of the bumper and the aluminum alloy chosen for certain parts, while still being lighter than steel bumpers. Their bumpers weigh an average of just 85 pounds!

Going lighter with aluminum also prolongs the life of brakes, alignment, suspension, tires, and even saves fuel. Aluminess bumpers have proven tough enough to protect against deer, elk, bear, other vehicles, and even K-rails.

"Aluminum does not rust and with our tough, attractive, powder coated finishing, your bumper, ladder, storage box or other Aluminess products will maintain their finish for years to come. Our bumpers are all aluminum construction with off road light mounts and locking storage compartments front and rear. Rear bumpers may be ordered with tire racks and storage boxes mounted on the optional swing out arms. Carry extra fuel, firewood or a generator in the handy storage box. Install a winch, or keep your tools, tow strap, leveling blocks, and tire chains in the lockable bumper compartments."

Aluminess is always interested in expanding their product line so if you have a need for a product but don’t see it on their website, call them to discuss a customized product to fit your application. Oftent with just a few measurements they can create prototype bumpers, roof racks or other custom accessories.

Thanks again to Aluminess for supporting Expedition Portal, give them a call to get your rig trail ready!

Well, I was so impressed with the 4th generation body stlyle Power Wagon totally decked out at Overland Expo this year that I ordered an exct replica of the front bumper that was on it for my 2006 Power Wagon. The Aluminess guys have been great, looking foward to that bumper. I come into close contact with wildlife on the rural roads I always travel and really want the extra protection.

Aluminess installed a front bumper on my 2006 Tacoma about 7 months ago. I had something a bit different in mind than what Aluminess had in stock but they were very patient and worked with me to come up with a modified design I really liked. I also asked them to add a 2" receiver to the front bumper and a skid plate underneath that matched up with the stock skid plate. I've used the new bumper on the trails quite a bit in the last 7 months and I'm completely satisfied with the build, fit, and finish. Since it was installed, I've added lights, a 10K winch, a mount for a solar panel, etc., with no problems. As I had hoped, the light weight of the aluminum bumper has had no impact on suspension, braking, trim angle, or handling.

The bumper looks great any idea how much it weighs and the solar panel install is very cool

I'm fortunate to live close by the Aluminess factory. It's an amazing shop to visit. The crew there are working on a vast array of products geared toward the offroad enthusiast or anyone looking for lightweight protection for their vehicle.

I was fortunate to have my vehicle serve as a guinea pig for a prototype rockshield to protect the front undercarriage of my '07 Dodge 2500. With the airdam removed or with many aftermarket bumpers installed,this area is quite vulnerable to damage from road debris, etc.

They came up with a sturdy,practical design that can be removed for servicing easily. The new design is further refined.

Thank Aluminess!

We are super close to getting that bumper done. We are trying to get a 06-09 Power Wagon in our shop for a final test fit to add some additional bracing to handle the winch in any circumstance. This has proven to be pretty difficult.

Just yesterday when I was running an errand I happen to see a Power Wagon stopped at a traffic light, knowing how difficult it has been to get one in our shop I jumped out of the car and tapped on the guys window. A big buff Marine in full Camo peered back at me through the tinted glass, gave me the bird, and then looked like he was reaching for his glove box. I quickly jumped back in the car and prayed for the light to turn green. Dave told me that I should have followed the guy and risk my life, I told him he couldn't afford to lose an employee like me.

So, if anyone knows someone who has an 06-09 Power Wagon in Southern California that would be willing to stop by our shop for a test fit (and gas money) we would love to hear from you. One of our other contacts is on vacation and we can't get him into the shop for a while and we don't want to hold up the bumper much longer.
