If this bumper is coming to Europe it will need to lose that hoop.

That bumper looks "ok" from that one angle, but I'll bet it looks like a big snout from the side, because it sticks out so far in front of the fenders (Euro spec). The price would scare me away anyway. By the time you pay shipping and get the skid plate its going to be $1100, ... for a bumper! I think I'll keep my little Plain Jane PSC bumper, which was around $300.

I've just sent them an email asking why it's called "Eurospec". Will let you know their answer.

I just want to see more pics. It doesnt seem like Hanson wants to sell this bumper. Ive had Hanson bumpers on other rigs and they were all great products. The only thing was customer service was always lacking before the purchase.

Yeah...I'm with you...not liking it much.

Winch just sitting on top of the bumper....and that tube, while I'll admit looks practical, seems too big to me...perhaps just the angle. Would have to see some different angles.

This bumper is not for everyone this is true. However we do offer many other bumpers for people who do not like this design.

The bumper you are looking at is a prototype. We need to re-shoot photos of this bumper in the production form. We hope to have that done here in the next few weeks.

We also offer this bumper without the winch guard. Thank you all for your opinions in this thread. Customer service is our top priority here at Hanson/PUREJEEP.

Any and all questions can be emailed to sales@hansonoffroad.com or you can call us direct at 877-757-9779. We are here from Monday - Friday 8AM - 4:30PM Pacific time.

The photo is of the prototype (welds on the upper end caps not ground down before powder coating). We are re-shooting photos of the bumper and will have it posted here shortly.


Here is a link to more photos of the original prototype...
