Default Rear Bumper Opinions

I have been running the Poison Spyder RockBrawler rear bumper with carrier for about 2 years now and I have finally had enough of it. I have a EVO carrier now and unlike a good number I don't really want to run just the open frame. So I am looking for opinions on the EVO rear fascia and the Poison Spyder BFH rear bumper. I am really leaning toward the BFH but I am a little hesitant to get rid of my hitch even though all I use it for is a extra recovery point. Let me know what yall think about these two different bumpers. I also know about the Crawler Concepts rear bumper that is close to the same as the BFH, but has a hitch built in, but it almost looks like it would be to high up to be used with a 40 hanging off the back.

My vote is for the Evo fascia. Great minimalist look.

X2, I too am doing the same thing. Had the brawler 2 for a while and even the original version before that. I went with the teraflex carrier and Evo fascia with d ring mounts.

Default 189 .00 seems awful steep for

for a cover that really has no purpose just a strip of metal , Then add in the cost of the d ring kit , and etc... its as much as a bumper lol
companys need to be realistic when pricing . To a good portion of people who buy products from them . Just plain simple, over priced in my view . looks about the same to me

Just put on mine, I have a factory hitch I will install when needed. It takes 1 minute with a impact.

It looks good man. Even though I think they are a little pricey for what they are I pulled the trigger on it earlier.

Yeah they are but for the time and materials to do it myself, plus powder coat. I figured the 189.00 was worth it.

I would say it is. I thought about trying to make my own but I figured by the time I got the materials and worked on it it wasn't really worth it. Although its already powdercoated ill probably have it done to match the rest of my powdercoat.
