Got it Wednesday, painting it now, will post pics when mounted. Looks awesome. Quality craftmanship. If you want an awesome front bumper, and don't want to wait forever, get this one.

Awesome bumper, bolted right up. Took less than an hour to unbolt the stock and put on the new bumper and skidplate. Very happy with it. Turned a lot of heads yesterday, driving around for the first time with it on.

With the recommendation from Bob at TnT Customs, I cleaned it real good with Acetone and gave it 3-4 coats of Rustoleum Hammered spray paint. I'm kinda surprised at how hard and durable it seems. I banged it a couple times with tools, putting it on, no chips or scratches. I'm very happy with this bumper. It was $600 delivered in just 4 weeks. Saving up for the rear now.

It bolts to the bumper and to the crossmember. It does not extend past the crossmember. The disconnect motor is still exposed from the underside. However, the skid does beef up the crossmember by tying it to the bumper. How much protection that adds, I'm not sure.
