Default TREKS front bumper

Hi All, I'm getting close to getting a new front bumper and am quite interested in the trek bumper, however I haven't heard much about them (did a search and only one thread). Does anyone run one? or have any experiences with them? any thoughts?

Or does anyone have any thing comparable that I could look into? (looking for lighter weight, uses factory fogs, winch ready, same price range as the trek)

Here is the link to the bumper for reference

I've got one and think it's one of the best products out there. Although you need to finish it yourself, I used Rustoleum Hammered finish spray paint, it bolted right up and looks awesome. If you compare the previous pictures to my pictures, you'll notice that they changed the design of the winch hoop. It is more of a rounded end than an angled end. It had everything that I was looking for: mid-width/stubby, incorporates stock fogs, recessed winch, e-disco skidplate, and low cost/fast delivery. Keep in mind, if you smack this bumper, you can touch it up yourself, with powdercoated bumpers.....good luck.

Thanks for posting this . . . Looks like I may have found front and rear bumpers now. I especially love it with the position of the fog lights and long grill guard like what's on the yellow JK.

Treks also has some great skid plates. Just saw them a few days ago and fell in love.

These products are all top quality, well designed and very tough.
I don't work for them, I just appreciate nice stuff.

If you have stock fogs, be sure they send you the extension wires for the driver's side foglight, it will not reach. Mine (the bumper) took about 4 weeks to arrive. Much faster than most of the popular bumpers out there. How are you planning on finishing it? At the recommendation of Bob at TnT, I rubbed mine down with Acetone and then applied 3-4 coats of Rustoleum Hammered spray paint. Very surprised on how durable it turned out, although it's not a true black color, more of a charcoal grey. Wish I would have asked if they could've welded some light tabs on the hoop. Very happy with it though, saving up for the rear now!
