I may paint it to match the anodized fairlead that came with my Superwinch
Hmmm, repainting the logo.... I didn't think about that, that might actually be pretty cool! I think I will do that and repaint some good accent color. Maybe paint it Detonator yellow to match my Jeep. Good Call!

x2. I wanna see your color matched LoD logo. I'm not much of a logo guy either, but I love these bumpers and the logo seems well placed and works for me.

Sweet front end there RR. I like it a lot. Another quick question since you own this bumper: If I went with this model and wasn't running a winch right away, how comfy would a pair (maybe three) of lights fit (KC, Warn, PIAA, etc.) if mounted on a flat top plate covering the winch opening, positioned below the brush bar?

PS: Do you have any side and/or 3/4 birds eye shot of your front LoD bumper? Trying to get a feel for the proportions.

I think you could easily get three across the front, they would have to be 6 inch lights. Way Of Life (Eddie) had 2 mounted there when he lad the regular hoop, he is running the stinger now and still has lights there. Check out his profile. Here are some more views of the stubby! The last pic doesn't show the bumper, but I couldn't help myself! There are a few more in my gallery under my avatar.
