Default Exp-One Basic DX Bumper

If you've got one let's see some pics! I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and would like to see it on some rigs first. I've been searching to try to get a better look and can't seem to find many people running this bumper.

I'd especially like to see any pics from the side so I can see how far out it sticks from the grill. I really like the simple design and the fact that I can keep the factory fogs (but can quickly remove them when wheeling). Any positives/negatives on your experiences would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!

I really like mine. It looks good and serves its purpose. Let me know if you want any other angles.

Look awesome, thanks! The more I see it the more I like it...Do you happen to have any pictures from the side so I can see how far it sticks out from the grill/body?

Hey another question for you: does this bumper take 1" D-rings or 3/4"? The store says that it accepts 1" rings but the website says it takes 3/4" rings...I have dropped a line to their customer service for clarification but haven't heard from them yet...Also, did you have to do any cutting/etc to install or was it a pretty straight forward process?

Thanks!

I think I have 3/4" d rings. 1" might fit though. It's a pretty straight forward install. Remove the 8 factory bolts and install the 8 new ones. Easy peasy.
