    Yesterday I picked my tube bumper from Avid Off Road. This bumper is based on the bumper Avid made for OUTKAST (Josh). I have added hoops above the headlights those complete the look and should protect the whole front of my truck. The bumper is made of steel tubing with steel skid plate. It should withstand some serious abuse. The build time was 3weeks, hand build in USA not by little kids in China... I am very satisfied with the quality and fit and finish of the bumper. Thumbs up to Avid!

    Now for some pictures...

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    DOM does in fact have a seam you just can't see it because if the finishing process. Seamless tubing is big bucks.

    We know what you meant, it's steel and it's solid in the sense that it's very sturdy :D I've always heard Avid makes some good stuff.

    Damn, do I at least get an A for effort? :eek:

    The pathfinder H/T's are the biggest pieces of shit tires I have ever had on any vehicle I owned. Tires are next on the list...

    I LOVE the bumper, no way its going off my truck anytime soon :D
