Default Body armor front bumper

Anyone try one or see one up close

for the price nothing else seems to come close.
Not to big and not to small

I think It would look and work good with the oem fender flares or the Flat style flare



Body armor on sale $364.00 + $94.00 for skid plate
Smitty XRC on sale $450.00 It looks like the skid is part of the bumper.

So for nearly the same price what would be best.

The other ones I am considering is the Smitty XCR and the ORFab
We have a new bumper that is on pre-order write now. I believe the pre-order price is $379 plus $50 shipping. Includes all the mounting hardware, D-ring mount & galvanized D-rings, and the hoop has two tabs to mount lights. If you want to upgrade your bumper with a winch the bumper is also setup to mount a 1/4" winch plate.

The price is what sealed the deal for me, and i was very happy with the bumper and skid plate once they were shipped and installed. The skid plates like $100 more and well worth it.

If this bumper was not so inexpensive I would build one, I have more fab equipment at my disposal that some of the bumper manufacturer do, Incluing Lasers and Press breaks, I may make my own skid plate at least?
