Default Poison spyder bfh bumper

Took a bit of work to install, but worth it in the end. FYI, if you're looking for a simple bolt on front bumper, this isn't the way to go.

A bit of cutting and grinding. You have to cut two inches back from existing bumper mount and cut off the crash bar. Then grind and polish the frame rails for a good fit. Just more work than I expected. Like I said though, worth it in the end.

I've been looking at getting this bumper as well. I like the fact that it increases your approach angle and I think it looks nice tucked up tighter the the grille. Are you planning on getting the sway bar motor skid plate for it? Also, how long did the install take?

Yes I plan on getting the disco skid plate. The install took about 4 hours, but that's me by myself. I was lacking in the best tools possible. I suggest a plasma cutter if possible. If not, long sawsall blades, sharp cutting wheels, and a good grinder with a finishing wheel.

I'm about to order this bumper as well. W/out searching through tons of threads, do I need to re-locate that little evap can or whatever it's called that sits behind the stock front bumper? Is there a kit you can buy or did you just fab something up?

That's something good to point out: The BFH bumper requires you to do some cutting to get it to fit. It's a smaller bumper. The Brawler Lite bumper does NOT require cutting.
