What do you guys think?







Very Nice I like everything except that you can see the four nuts/bolts around the tow hooks. Do you have prices on that yet?

Nice shape/ lines. Is that 2" tube for the bull bar? Will it be full pen welds securing the bull to the bumper, or tacked in a couple places as pictured? Powder coat? Paint? I really like bumpers that protect the winch by dropping it inside the bumper. More specs please.

Duffy out.

They are deigned to be used to mount antennas or a highlift jack.

What do you guys think?

Very nice bumper this is defiantly top 3 for me. I like stubys but very nice I like the idea of optional angles on the bull bar too.

The bolts look good you'd want to pretty them up a bit but nice tough look.

Oh, High lift jack points.

Just a couple of comments...Since the winch is mounted inside the bumper, I feel it would look better and protect just as well if you were to angle the bull bar back to run parallel with the grille. This would be similar to the AEV and the ARB. Or better yet make it an option to have it either way.

But all in all....VERY NICE!!!!!!
If we want similar to ARB or AEV, why don't we just buy one of those? Keep the angle.
PM sent BTW.

The Grill Guard will be 3” mandrel bent just like our stock bumper version. It is fully welded now. We had just tacked it for the initial pictures.

Thanks guys. We are trying to keep the initial style we had with our front facing grill guard/light bar.

The nuts that are showing on the front of the bumper are actually put in backwards. When it is actually installed you will see only the head of the bolts.

Besides, if I have to buy a bumper and take it to the fab shop to have it modded to the way I like then why not just have them make the whole thing. I understand that an option might not work out for production, but other companies make exceptions and offer just such things and I have heard many of their customers rave over this personal service not offered by the big boys!
The bumper is made out of 3/16” plate and is fully reinforced for extra strength. It is heavy duty. I do not have any info on pricing or availability at this time. I will have more information for everyone shortly.

Here are a few more pictures with MBRP stamped in the grill guard/light bar and fully welded to the bumper.
