High rock high access front bumper first impressions
I've been shopping for a winch bumper since the day I brought my rubi home. I determined a full length bumper was necessary because of all the big ass trees we have up in the NW. I picked the high rock because the design looked clean, and the price was right.
So, what do I think? Pulling the stock bumper was harder than installing the new one. I haven't mounted the winch yet so that's pending. Install was a piece of cake, except......mounting the stock fog lights. I'm not impressed with the design, they use pretty thin plastic cups to mount the lights to the bumper. The little bolts had little nuts that only santas elves would have been able to thread on. Doesn't seem sturdy and I will be surprised if they stay in place for the next year. Beyond that, it's a great design, sits low, angles match the body lines, the approach roller is slick and it's not too heavy.
Overall, I like it and think it's a great value...yeah yeah post pics, I'm on my iPad so, I'll try to post in the next day or so.
