Looking for options on my bumper i m building. Still no done, gonna add factory fogs in the skid plate, and a hoop to protect the grill, and d ring mounts. Any other thoughts are welcomed.

Never weighed it but I would guess about 50-60lbs.

How far does it stick out and how far does that skid plate come down? Don't mean to be a negative Nancy, but it seems like you'd be killing your approach angle with that bumper. Do you have any pics of it taken from the side?

Sticks out 9 inches, same as stock, but is raised up higher. skid angles down and attaches to frame just below sway bar disco.

I went with the minimalist approach.

post up a few more pictures if you can. A profile shot and a head on shot, but from down low so we can get an idea of heights.

I will later today, in trying to decide on factoy fogs or 24" led bar, or 2 small led square lights in the skid.

Going to start mine in the next few weeks here and planning on doing something like this but with the factory fogs and a hitch receiver to accept a hitch mounted winch. Looks good man.
