I think I like the one with the tube part better, even though I like the idea of the light being recessed into the bumper. To me the bumper with the recessed light is too boxy or bulky or v looking, I can't quite figure it out. Also, have you thought about making one with a stinger that goes up higher?

I like the tubed bumper. The fairlead looks good. The recessed light bumper is too bulky for my tastes. And more importantly I think it is in conflict with the function of the bar it is recessed in. I wouldn't want to use my bumper to push down woody bushes, push a vehicle, etc.. For fear the light would be more easily prone to breaking. Just my opinion! I would run the tubed bumper though. Aluminum?

I think it's a great looking bumper. I personally like the design with the light bar mounted within the bumper bar. Looks cleaner than having them hang on mounts between the tubular style bar.

Not a fan, way too chunky and integrated parts are a pain to deal with down the road.

Specs?

^This. The one without the lights with the brawler bar looks good if the bumper part wasn't so tall, doesn't help the approach angle either I would think. If you moved the winch plate up you could make the bumper thinner.

I like the tube style better as well but I also think the main part of the bumper looks like it hangs down too low.
