This is the compromise you have to make for a sunk winch stubby. Unless you want it to stick out 4 more inches.

ah, makes sense. i wouldnt mind the extra 4 inches.... i just want it all (approach angle, lights, stinger, stubby, sunk winch - nobody makes that)! Great stuff regardless im really liking the lines on this bumper.

Would you make a cover for the crash bar or track bar (whatever bar is exposed when going to a stubby)?

also, any cutting of the frame rails neccassary for install?

I am really liking the crusader prototype, awesome job. It looks like the fogs are mounted quite a bit higher than the factory level and wider apart, any idea how this will impact driving in foggy conditions ( I live in WA). Any plans for a Rubi skid plate to go with it?

Moving it out 4 more inches causes you to lose the approach angle

Mike is working on a design for a crash bar skid, or if are running a non-rubi, chop it off!

There is no cutting unless you run the ZEON. If you are, you have to trim little 1" cubes off the top of the Frame mounts.

They may need to be aimed not a bit to compensate for the height change, but otherwise should actually give you a wide throw of light.

Sooo, before you get too excited. We can't ship it via ground, would have to go $freight$. We plan to offer this tube as a DIY kit.

Does this apply to the Vanguard, Crusader and Mauler?

Yes. It has to do with the zeon just being too bad big! haha

Brian-

All three models are winners!

Would you tell us what the weight of each new bumper is, please?
