Thought you guys might like to see how the SVC Baja bumpers are designed from the ground up to make for a perfect fitment each and every time.
1st Step, all the tubes come pre radiussed, notched and cut to length via a CNC radius bender and laser cutter right here in California. Many companies out there will just roll the tube and make corrections via line of site to compensate for the twist of the tube as it begins to roll. The SVC main tube makes finite computer aided adjustments after each pass to ensure perfect accuracy and virtually undetectable twist. Once a tube is complete, it is placed into a fitment check fixture for final inspection.
Here is what they look like complete and ready for weld
After that process is complete, the bumper support tubes are computer fed into a computer aided bar feeder and laser cut and notched to form each specific tube.
Once all that is finished, it goes over to the final welding fixture table. In this case, it's a 4x8 foot perfectly level table with 3"x3" holes allowing us to attach multiple fixtures for a variety of application that need to be welded. By using the fixture table with specific jigs, we are able to accurately assemble each bumper, UCA, Frame support and so on with precision and consistency. This means as long as your trucks frame and body is straight, your bumper will be as well. We leave tolerances on the bumper just a hair larger so you have room to maneuver the bumper around during install.
These next pics show the just how your SVC bumper gets put together
Once all the tubes are in place, everything gets welded together, the long ends get trimmed away and the bumper caps, skid tabs and light tabs get put in there final resting spots.
The Ground Up Approach.
As said above, this bumper is designed from the ground up to cleanly support a 30" light bar of your choice inside of the plate-work free from view obstruction, and to also support the center section of the valance from sagging over time. With the SVC Baja Bumper, there is no need to make or purchase a front valance support. We designed the upper plate work so it allows the inner support structure of the factory valance to rest easily on it. Another key element of the bumper is how easily it attaches to the steering rack bolts. It was designed for them to slide right in free from other tubes getting in the way of the bolts. With this bumper, you would never need to remove the bumper to change your rack for any reason. It's also important to note that much of the design time was spent on the side profile of the bumper. The SVC Baja Bumper was designed from conception to end to run the full radius of the front valance, the plate work that supports the rolled main tube flows evenly and consistently to make for the cleanest fully rolled bumper on the market.
Below is a pic that demonstrates how the valance rests itself on the upper main plate to stay nice and straight over time.
Production is in full swing and please feel free to call or email with any questions.
