I don't personally but I've seen dozens of people say good things about his work. He's highly recommended around here

i run the recessed winch bumper, and i love it. very solid, but not too heavy, mounting is great because it ties in down the frame rail, and also helps brace the steering box.
weld quality is phenomenal and pricing was good as well.

the only thing i have to say bad is that during install a couple of the bolt hole were a tad off, nothing a file cant fix. but all in all, im happy with what i bought from him.
heres a pic of it installed, its the long version with full prerunner, d ring tabs, and light mounts.

I'm also very pleased with his work. definitely solid, and not too terribly heavy. I put mine on alone. I have a few buddies running his bumpers too.

I run both bumpers and they are solid. Only problem i had wasnthat the bolt holes on the rear were a bit off so i had to bore them out with a drill.great bumpers though.

Mine only took a week. It just depends. Call him and ask. He can probably give you a fair estimate

I recall seeing a "newer" version of this bumper that I think he does. Can anyone concur?

I'm interested in Nate's offerings as well. Keep the pics coming

Will he actually answer phone calls/emails now?

He's always built a great bumper, but for years his customer service was god awful since it was just him.

He will answer if he is there and able, but don't expect him to call back.
