what do you guys think of this bumper?
never seen anyone run it but it looks way better than anything I can cut. price seems reasonable at $265

it's low profile, looks lightweight, has a spot for a winch
my only concerns were that it looks a little flimsy as shown in the second pic of this link

and that winch looks pretty small. think I can fit an 8000lb in there?
I'll put on my own d-ring mounts

can I throw it up against some rocks? looks like the ends will dent rather easy
maybe I'll just call them. I really like the way it looks at least
and I'll check out the hudfab section when I get off work

im not sure if this is the same bumper or not but it looks very similar and was ran on a jeep that raced in KOH's every mans challenge but if its the same bumper im sure it can be thrown at some rocks.

I personally prefer to mount the winch under the rad on the cross member that is then reinforced with a proper backbone system. But yes that does look flimsy simply because the corners aren't boxed. And since I've hit the corners on my jeeps a half dozen times each thats important to me.
I usually just build a JCR style Stage 1 bumper and mount the winch behind it. Tadaaaaaa. great approach angle and still a winch.
