    Do you want it photoshopped or just what it looks like?

    I don't have the same year but I have the same low pro Rock defense bumper without the optional light hoop. I know, O know. You're looking for the same year. I just pulled the trigger and got the TG rear bumper & sliders too!

    he had to make a very small notch to fit his winch.

    i have no complaints on the bumper. i welded a piece across the top to mount my light bar so if i ever wanted to mount a winch it wold have to go. i haven't picture whored in a long time so here

    Tg bumper flows really well with our trucks. Kinda wish I had bought that instead of the allpro 5 years ago but I got it for such a steal. Oh well!

    Like to see how you mounted the fog lights on your bumper. I'm debating between the TG bumper and All Pro bumper. I like the TG bumper, better. I have fogs on my truck, right now under my stock bumper and didn't think there will be a good place to mount them underneath the TG bumper.

    I just welded a couple tabs for my flood lights. They tuck in nicely enough to not take rock damage

    This is how I use to have them. Then I switched and put my new pods on the sheet metal behind the bumper.

    Thanks for the pics and info. Glad to see that they are tucked in, well enough. I was leaning towards the AP bumper, because it looked like my fog lights will be protected better. but i see that the TG will protect them, just as well.
