New SVC Baja Bolt On Bumper

[HAYNES OFFROAD]

@svc and @Haynesoffroad youall are great. I would be willing to pitch in a few bucks for some accessories (lights, Buda rope or such) and I hope there are some others out there that would do the same. Let me know where to send my contribution.

Sounds good bud, I'm sure between us all, we can figure something out once some of the details are worked out.

Boomer,

As a husband and father of two little girls I cant even fathom what you and your family are going through right now. No bumper, no truck mod or anything else other than the incredible memories you have will hopefully bring peace and healing to you and your family. I truly am touched by your story and don't really see the point of continuing this contest any further.

It would be an honor to me and the rest of us at SVC to see one of our bumpers on you and your wife's truck. She will always be with you on your sunset drives, and those memories you have can never be replaced or purchased. Stay strong, remember the good days and continue on her legacy.

With all my heart, I truly am sorry for your loss and will say a prayer for you and your family.

Jarrett

I was gonna say after reading that I tried to imagine what I would do without my wife and all I could think about was how much Boomer must be hurting. You're a good man Jarrett. @Boomer12 stay strong man I'm sure it is hard. I hate seeing good people suffer.

P.S. @HAYNES OFFROAD forgot to include you sorry, but you and @svc made my day when I read this and not for the free shit, but for the compassion. Kudos

I'm in the same boat man. I couldn't even imagine. I mean, some may call me soft, but my wife has been there through ALL my crazy crap, and has always helped me get back on top. I don't know what I would do without her. It really hurts me deep to hear about others that are going through the pain that I hope to never have to go through. Being able to help put together something is the least we can do for him.

At the end of the day, it is never about the parts we buy, or sell... It's about going home at the end of the day to somebody.

Amen, couldn't have said it better.

First off, thank you to @svc for being so generous and even considering doing something like this. Just another example of just how awesome you guys are.

Now it's taken me quite a bit of time to decide if I even wanted to post in here, as I'm normally the type of person that doesn't put my personal life out on front street. The attached picture was taken by my late wife June 26 2014, incidentally the first time she ever drove it in it's natural habitat. Living literally minutes south of Barstow, we had a going thing that any time the weather was nice and I happened to be home from work without anything truly more pressing going on, we would jump in the truck and run out to Stoddard Valley to catch the sun set. At first she despised the truck and only relented on us purchasing one out her love for me, until she drove it that is. Now my wife was the type of driver that makes everyone else crazy, always doing 5 or so mph below the speed limit, but on that particular day, she was running 65 and had a smile from ear to ear.

Through the last 2 years, we've made some minor mods to make it "ours", but nothing super crazy as our funds went first to the kids, as well as saving for our first house. We've always been the conservative type, opting for a happy home instead of both of us working just to pay it all for child care. Sadly, that all came to an end just over 4 weeks ago when she was killed crossing a street by a (allegedly) speeding car... I still make the sunset drives when the opportunity is there, and it helps me feel a little bit closer to her and cope with the incredible emptiness I feel, but now it's solo or with the little ones.

I know I never post much on this forum, but I've always enjoyed the community that's here. Even now, just posting this, has helped to ease me some...

Thank you for putting up with my wall 'o text, you guys and gals are amazing!

I'm am truly sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine what you must have gone through.

I get out to your area a lot as my brother lives in Silver Lakes and my mom still lives in Barstow. Next time I am out that way it would be great to meet up with you and maybe we can hit the trails for a bit.

@Boomer12 I'm so sorry for your loss. You sound like a truly strong person. Prayers going out to you and your children. I wish best to you and your little ones. Hang in there.
