As you can see the lower portion was rusty and scraped up pretty bad so my fab guy recommended doing this:

I am quite pleased with the result. Depending on how this bumper thread turns out I may have my fab guy make a bumper and integrate the top half of this into the bumper itself.

I LOVE your tires.
I can only imagine what they set you back.

would be great, just a less complex version. I liked it because it shorted the rear bumper overhang.

You asked where the $450 bumpers were, not the pretty ones

They ran $880 locally. And were worth every penny.

The BFG KM2's are most excellent. That's what I run also. Cost too much but I feel they are worth it. Great Off Road tires. Mucho grip. Good on the Hi-way too.

I'm stopping in on Mon and either getting my winch bumper or my old bumper, either way I am leaving with a GD bumper.
