I'm ordering one next month. Its got clean lines, low winch mount, and I'm adding the wings for the fog lights! This is the first bumper I've gotten excited bout that was in my price range.

And think about it...all that extra frame metal you cut off is just making your Jeep lighter by comparison!
How was the install with that bumper? I love the looks of it you wouldn't happen to have install pictures would you? Also would a body lift be very noticable with these bumpers?

As a matter of fact, I do have a few pics from the install. The battery on our sawzall died RIGHT before we needed it, so we had to use whatever else we had. (mostly cutting and grinding wheels)

My buddy working on the first cut - removing the bash bar: (its easier if someone else makes the first cut! )


More cutting and grinding edges smooth:


Me drilling the holes for the new bolts:


Watch your eyes and such when shards of metal are raining down on you when doing the bottom holes:


All in all...not a bad install. I'd do it again too. (And probably will with the rear BFH soon too.)

ID:	165692I'm plenty happy wtih the PS Brawler Lite with optional lower skid. Just clean off the 'bash bar' and supports that drop down from the frame. Also bolt the two together before installing. The factory driving lights fit perfectly.Click image for larger version

Damn your jeep is nice man I love that color black goes really good with it. How are you liking the toyos have you had the chance to test them out yet?
