Question Fab-Fours Stubby Front Bumper

JK,
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the Stubby Front Bumper made by Fab-Fours...does anyone have any grips//complaints about their products in the short or long run??

Any input would be great. Thanks.

Unique all to itself. The only gripe amy be the actual mounting of it. The "Studs" or lack of a better term seem to me anyhow cheezy for a winch bumper and I may do something about it in the non too distant future. Finish is awesome and is relatively light in weight being 3/16 steel in construction.

I may go with beefier grade bolts and longer in length so as to utilize the OEM backing plates for strength.

ToolMan,
Thanks for the pictures and information...I ordered the same bumper for my Rubi today. I'll post the pictures once the install is finished in a week or so.

I'm planning to throw my Warn 9000 onto it as well, have you mounted a winch yet??

Thanks again.

I went with the full size, love the fit and finish! Had it on for 5 months and still looks new. Installed the M8000, fit like a glove.

I would imagine the stubby is much lighter but make sure you get a buddy to help. I decided to be a hero and install by myself and spent a month at the chiropractor 3x a week

Installation wasn't too bad, everything fits right over the factory mounts. If you (or your wifey) need more pictures or info let me know.
