Eric--I do believe this set is now spoken for? By me!EricV said:pmc has decided to wait, so I still have one full set of Rumbux Crash bars coming in early April that is unspoken for. These will go to the first person to call and pay for them. Again, this is part of the Feb. order that has already been placed with Rumbux and delivery to customers is expected in early April. As there is demand, I will continue to build and place orders as demand hits 5 units.
::012:: Yes, it is yours. Thank you for your order and the incoming order placed in Feb is now fully sold. I am taking pre-orders for the next one, which will probably be a May delivery.Viridicyana said:Eric--I do believe this set is now spoken for? By me!

trikepilot said:Finally mounted up my Rumbux guards today. It should have been an hour or two at most, but it took longer since it was discovered that the Rumbux does not fit unless you have a short oil filter on the bike. My bike's previous owner had the Purolator PL14612 on the bike. This filter has been erroneously listed at 2.5" here at the forum, but it is well over 3" in real life. Once I drove around town to get a smaller filter and oil, I got the oil quickly changed and a new Mobil 1 M1-108 filter on there. Then the Rumbux guards went on without issue. I did them by myself without help which I was unsure of since the directions suggest getting someone to help hold the uppers while you line up the holes and thread the bolts
I write this quick review as a heads up to any of you on the next Rumbux order. You now have several weeks to verify that your oil filter is the smaller version will clear the guards or you have time to remedy the situation.
My overall Rumbux experience was flawless. Eric was great. He kept me constantly updated. The bars arrived ahead of schedule. They are built bomber with obvious attention to quality. They bolted on easy and look to be just what I need to encourage me to take the S10 way off road here in WV.
Welcome to the forum and this thread Toyrotor. I am the US distributor for Rumbux and while I have checked into various ways to ship to other countries, the size of the box makes it cost prohibitive. The last time I checked on Australia it was over $800 in shipping alone for me to ship a full set of Rumbux crash bars. I get requests from all over since Rumbux is primarily sold in South Africa and I'm the only other dealer on their web site right now.toyrotor said:I will admit I haven't read all the pages but I would like to know if anyone has a full set of these in Australia and what it would cost to get a set out here. I have to say they look to be the best out there so yer I guess the question is how much Approx and how long to get a set from time of order
Cheers Grant
EricV said:...Torque spec info:
The 8mm oem drop guard bolts are 8.7 ft/lbs.
The 10mm rear side stand bolt is 46 ft/lbs. (rear throttle side mount)
The 8mm rear exhaust bracket bolt is 14 ft/lbs, (rear clutch side mount).
The center long bolt that holds the dash on, where the flat bar goes
is 11 ft/lbs
The two bolts between the upper and lower Rumbux are nylocks, so just
get them tight, no need to go overboard there. Same for the small 6mm
bolts and nuts on the front end of the flat bar...
Hi JJ - If you used loctite on the bolts when installing them the first time, I would suggest you not go over them again, as you may end up just breaking loose that bond. The specs are in ft/lbs. The FSM gives ft/lbs, Nm and sometimes additional values. For simplicity sake, I choose to offer the ft/lbs reference.WARRIORPRINCEJJ said:Eric,
I've been wanting to ask you a coupla' things, for awhile, but just hadn't gotten around to doin' it (even during our phone conversations).
1. I want to give all my mounting bolts the "once-over", again. And, I just wanted to make sure that all the specs are definitely "ft/lbs". I'm so used to working in N/m, when it comes to metric bolts, that old habits die hard (and, therefore, just wanted to confirm).
2. My second inquiry (and I may have already asked you this, but forgot the answer) is, have you compared the two lower crossmembers (that the plate attaches to) on the new bars (that come with the 4.5 plate)? Are they the same size?...or are the new crossmembers beefier?
Thanks in advance...
