    So, a few weeks ago, I swung by the SOS Offroad Concepts shop to talk to @EddyRRT and ask him a couple questions about his sliders that I have on my truck. One conversation led to another, and we started talking about low profile winch bumpers. He said he was interested in designing and making them, and we started working on setting up a weekend for me to bring my truck up for him to use to build the first "prototype." He finished it up this weekend, and here it is before getting sent off to the Line-X place. I don't have a lot of details, but it is my understanding that he should have it on his website just in time for his, "Tax Refund Sale." I tagged him in this because I'm sure there will be a question or two, and I didn't want to give half truths.

    There is another picture of the bull bar at a different angle that I didn't get from him.

    Best looking low profile

    If those body lines matched the lines on the bumper it would be perfect.

    There's one similar out there. This will provide another option to everyone. The biggest difference I see between this one and the other one the looks close to this one is the holes in it that allow access to the winch in order to free spool.

    This looks pretty cool. What is in between the white plastic bumper and the new steel bumper?

    Is that a black gasket or is it a remaining portion of the black plastic OEM bumper?

    I'm not sure. It looks like some type of trim that was added. That would be a better question for @EddyRRT to answer.

    There are actually already 4 other companies making bumpers of this type. This one will be the 5th option to add to the growing list of companies offering these bumper solutions.

    Do these low pro bumpers require any cutting, or is it simple bolt on?

    Yes. I trimmed where that chin popped into place to clean up where they interlocked and added black door trim.

    If you want a stealth low profile, there's not an option. This would be the 5th offering. There's no way to do it.

    Otherwise you. We'd one of those big gaudy bro bumpers. It replaces the whole lower front

    With this one, you cut off a few small clips that hold the chin on and then trim back a small bit to clean it up. I don't think that qualifies as cutting the crap out of your bumper.
