There is no way in hell I’d use that bumper.
1. it’s 4 pieces all bolted together and I guarantee you will f that bumper up on the first impact off road

2. that steel looks thin a/f

3. the mounting points are extremely sus. Just 2 bolt holes per side and not even that deep?

Do you want something that just looks cool and could maybe handle very mild off-roading or do you need something substantial to handle abuse.
by mild off reading = a dirt road

They posted that because I said I saw another 1 piece bumper on ebay and that's it.

The only thing that modular bumper would be worth = a center winch box tray lol. Those side pieces are just screaming to rip off on the first bump you hit with em no doubt. People dog ARB for bad departure angles and issues when winching sideways, but I've owned about 5 of them so far and they've saved every vehicle they've been on from idiots on the road, off road obstacles, and when I winch I make sure I'm pulling straight (no matter what bumper I have).
