That bumper is HUGE and protrusive in my opinion.
Ours is going to look close to stock with tabs for limb risers, they can also be deleted if you want.

yeah I noticed that. I kinda like the look of that bumper but there's no way I'd put all that weight on the front of my truck. I like the look of the new Rovertym bumper, and it might be street legal in MN.

Our bumper may not be for you, to keep things simple and to keep costs down we are going to just make one type of bumper, one template, with or without add on's.
Right now for add on's we are looking at the limb riser tabs and a CB/dune flag mount.

We may expand if the market is there, but we are trying to keep things simple to keep costs down, lower costs for us means more affordable for the everyman.
Who has $1000 to drop on a winch bumper right now? Not me.
We are also trying to strike a deal with a local winch supplier so we can offer a package deal.
