Default New Tactical Rovers Winch Bumper Installed

Finally got time and weather to get my new Tactical Rovers http://www.tacticalrovers.com/ front winch bumper installed. Still need to install the winch. I had Eric at TR add some round fog light openings and take off the full brush bar, and do the lower bars a little different for me. I like the look, and I was able to finally get my steering guard mounted that had been sitting for a year or so waiting on my ill fated HLC Fab front bumper that never appeared. The round fog light opening are recessed and work well with the 2.75" round Optronics fog lights I found on the shelf at Walmart. Not super bright, but will do the job for now.

I am very pleased with the bumper, and Eric was great to work with providing input and suggestions on my modification requests, providing clear pricing and modification upgrade pricing as well as progress updates and meeting his estimated delivery date. Nice TR stickers and T-shirt were a nice added bonus!.

I also got a rear TR bumper from him once my order for the front was placed, and I damaged my low hanging Bottorf rear bumper which slowed up my shipment to save to ship them together. Packaging for shipment was top notch. Again, Eric added the round sided tree bars on the wings for me as a modification, and provided clear pricing. TR has videos of how to install both of these D2 bumpers online, and Eric returns emails and calls with good turn-around time.

Hey Tony that looks great! Glad you were able to get it on there without a hitch. I like that steering guard as well... what kind is it?

Steering guard is Britpart P/N DA2249 I believe I found it cheaper in the UK with shipping than I found it in the US. British 4x4 in San Antonio has it on their web page for $250. I think I got mine from LR Direct in the UK from their webpage for under a $100 US + shipping. I do not recall what my total cost was with shipping. Check out this link and they have US phone # to call, and they have an email to send questions to and IIRC that is where they gave me the shipping cost in an email reply.
