Default Full Metal Fabworks Apex Pinnacle winch bumper

Recently purchased the Full Metal Fabworks front apex pinnacle winch bumper from Andrew (owner of FMF) and I wanted to brag about this guy, his products and customer service. Before purchasing the bumper Andrew entertained and answered, in depth, ALL of my questions about applicable winches, strength, weight and ease of installation. After realizing that Andrew forgot to inform me that I would need to purchase a relocation kit for my vacuum pump, he went ahead and shipped me a kit free of charge regardless. 👏🙌 My bumper arrived in a timely manner and was shipped in a very secure packaging material. Since delivery I have prepped the bumper to be painted to match my deep cherry crystal Pearl coat JKUS. It will be painted in the next few days. Here are some pre-instal photos of my jeep and the bumper.

had a local shop charge me 200 for everything. Pretty good considering a gallon of this paint alone is 300 and the guys at the shop painted and clear coated it. It's got a glossy smooth finish like glass.
