My close friend is actually cousins with Derek Kreider. I never saw any of his bumpers in real life but they look pretty sweet. My friend said they are sweet as he**. From what I hear kid knows a lot about vehicles and all tht good stuff so I imagine they would be pretty good. Im thinking about getting one with red hooks on the front.

Just looked this guy up on Facebook. His stuff looks pretty slick and is priced very reasonably too. He uses 3/16 and looks like his price includes bedlining the bumpers which is pretty sweet. I'd love yo hear someone who has personal experience with his service though

Yeah, his bumpers look nice and well priced. I might have to hit him up for some prices on a front and rear carrier. Nice thats he is somewhat local too.....

This guys a joke he got banned from selling on ebay because he sell bumpers and once got the money he'd stop communicating with customers. I bought a rear off him last year before thanksgiving and in January I opened a case along with atleast 10 other people got my money back and went to aresfab local to me and a vendor. I could see on his facebook well he had my money he was building the bunch of random crap but not my bumper that I paid for

When I contacted Ares Fab, I asked how it mounts and this is the reply I got
"It does mount with the stock mounts plus a frame tie-in kit with nut strips"

I have one of his front bumpers. The welds look like **** and its made out of C channel, not plate or box tubing. After the first pull I did with it, it ripped off the drivers side, and mangled the passenger side mount. It didn't fit right from the get go, and his bedliner job lasted about 2 months before the rust started to show.

Kreider kustoms bumper
I ordered a bumper from Derek 3/23/13. He sent me pictures of what he could build and gave me a price. As soon as I sent him money through Paypal, he quit answering my email/facebook messages. It's been 10 weeks since the order was placed, so I'm contacting Paypal for a refund.
I like to trust people, but it sucks doing business with people like this.
