Hey, Karnage,
Maybe I missed it in the thread, but I was looking for either your phone # or website address. I wanted to talk to you before I might order.
Soooo, what's your # and web address?
Thanx!!

 

spam anyone?

 

i was actually looking at that exact one while snoopin around ebay for parts id say go for it... i was gonna, but i wanna make one

 

I am going to purchase a bumper set soon. Any idea how long until that new tire carrier is ready for market Karnage?

 

do you have any pictures of the build up?

 

I have purchased the front, rear and tire carrier from Karnage.

It should get it in the next couple weeks and then another few days to install and I will post pics when it is finished.

With Xmas in there it will likely be late january before I can post pics.

 

any more updates, pics, or reviews, i tried to find karnage on ebay and i couldnt find the store anymore? anybody know whats up?

 

I couldn't find them either. The thread sounded interesting, but it appears the business went defunct...possibly with the cost of materials skyrocketing.

i just talked to dan the owner and the company is alive and well. the reason we couldnt find it on ebay is karnageoffroad is all one word on ebay its not 2 words if you look it up that way you should find it.hes very knowledgeable and very easy to work with...allaround great guy. oh and he said he doesnt have any good pics of the tire carrier because he shipped it as soon as he finished it but he does have one on his cellphone as soon as he sends it to me i will try to upload it.

 

I'm an idiot then. I cannot find it. Give me a link to one of their auctions.

hope this helps. im trying to talk dan into making a web site in his spare time so his stuff is eaisier to find. im also talking to him about some custom work for my rig. the guy definatly seems like a stand up dude.

 

right now none of his bumpers are up for sale. my guess is because he makes each one by hand and hasnt had time to make anymore as of yet. and im sure he wouldnt put them up for sale if they wernt completed yet. ive noticed before that sometimes i can find his bumpers for sale yet other times i cant so i assume he only has them listed when they are physically completed.

 

I'm not trying to say anything negative about the guy or his product, but he doesn't seem to know much about business 101. I mean he has absolutely NO storefront for interested buyers to look at product, even if it isn't built yet. I mean seriously, who wants to buy a bumper from a guy who is only selling a dragon sculpture? I just don't get it. I want to know who I'm buying from and what to expect. This seller is completely off the radar. Case in point, earlier on this thread, moderators advised him to advertise in the vendors section for free (no ebay cut) yet he didn't. There is a lot to be said for word of mouth business, but you have to have your product out to get word spread.

I am actively looking for bumpers and it is this type of marketing that causes me to overlook a potentially perfect product that is stout and well worth the money. I mean, I couldn't find it when I was looking specifically for it. I agree that a website would be ideal. If I were web developer savvy, I'd happily trade my site construction for a bumper. Hopefully, if bumper building is a passion of this fella, he will advertise better to get his name and product out there.

Again, I don't in any way wish to come off as being harsh, but we've all been bit before on ebay and I don't see how this seller is separating himself from the sketchy sellers.

This is Daniel, the owner of Karnage Off Road. This bumper business almost killed me in the last year. So, I am making sure that all of my ducks are in a row before starting to sell again. YES, I personally hand build every product at the moment. And also, my father is the creator of the dragon sculpture and I was just trying to help him out by selling it for him. I do know business and that is why I have nothing for sale now. I was selling too many bumpers to keep up. I want to be way ahead of you guys before I relist anything. And also keep in mind, I build and install for local clients also, which takes most of my time. So yeah, 16 hrs a day working still. I know business.

 

Are you selling these again?
