Anyone know of an upgraded D.O.T fog light that is 3"? (Please reply if you know of one. (Smittybilt vendors...feel free to chime in.)). JW Speaker will not fit. LED KC's will not fit. (The list goes on).

I do like the look of the Gen.II. Great purchase!
I'm really liking the look of your new bumper runin!



Anyone know what bumper this is that he posted a pic of? From the pic I like the wider sharper look to it, but have to see more pics to make sure.

Thanks!
They could be removed but would leave holes. I think they look good. Rather they were aluminum or something but you can't tell.

I really like this bumper because of the style and that it uses the stock fog lights. But don't care for the plastic on the bottom. I just ordered one and I'm going to try it without the plastic pieces. If the holes bother me I'll just weld them up and re-powder coat it.

For you all that have this bumper do you think there is anyway to weld a 2" reviver hitch under the winch plate or anywhere underneath. I know a few good welder but needed to know what's under the winch plate. I'm using then hitch for my fishing rack and my baskets. Thanks in advance...

There is a gusset right in the center below the wench mount. You would have to cut into it or weld it under the bumper.

Now that I have the bumper. The plastic looks a lot better in person then in pictures. I'm just going to leave it on.

Just got mine delivered today. $541 on amazon. Couldn't pass it up. Can anyone tell me if it just bolts up or is drilling required? Not a big deal either way, just factors into how much time to allow myself to do it...lol. Thanks!!
