    First of my reviews for a Pelfreybilt product and I will make it short and sweet.

    I am extremely happy with the front bumper purchase that I made through Tyler and his company. All in all it is a stout piece of armor for my truck. It was surprisingly light for what it is prior to installing the winch onto it. All of the bolt holes lined up for the mounting points, the winch mounts, and the lighting mounts. The reinforcement brackets that Tyler supplies run on the bottom of the frame horns not along the sides like a few other bumper companies so I didn't have to fiddle with my coil over reservoir mounts. The cuts in the body were clearly shown in the instructions and were easy to make. I make mine slightly wider just in case there was an issue(there was none). The welds all seem stout where I can see them (mounting points of the light hoops). No complaints.

    *PROS*
    - Ease of installation (you can do it yourself, but have someone there to hold it up while you thread the nuts onto the 4 or 6 bolts of the frame).
    - Understandable instructions
    - Aurora or Rigid 20" sr or pods fit in the bumper without any modification to the bumper
    - Looks great
    - Installing and wiring the winch is easy
    - Weight for sturdiness (lighter then you'd expect)
    - Fitament is great
    - You can tell a lot of time went into the design of this product

    *CONS*
    - none

    Oddly I am surprised that I don't have a single con to tell you guys about this bumper. If you like the style of it and it fits what you are planning on building you definitely won't go wrong with going with a Pelfreybilt front bumper.

    Not a single Con with my bumper either! Mine is for a 2012 but the differences are small. Pelfreybilt is pure quality. Here is a shot of my single hoop

    Thanks for the review. I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago and am having it shipped to Canada. All you see up here are ARB bumpers. Needless to say I am sitting on pins and needles hoping that I will see it sooner than later. The website says there is a 12 week turnaround but I might have to bug him and see where things are at at around week 8.

    I'm sure Tyler will work with you, he is one of the few vendors and fabricators I have seen that really cares about his customers.
