    I'd love to send a gush of wind towards our direction, but I say just go with the one you like the most. :) If you have any questions feel free to ask.

    I'm in the same boat trying to decide now that Demello has aluminum. Also consider CBI for their great lines. Such a tough call!

    Never got back to this thread I started. I ended up going with the All Pro Apex steel bumper. Got Rigid cubes which BARELY fit and next step is a winch. (Just took this pic as I was leaving school.)

    Here was a side view. I know it doesn't matter anymore but maybe it will help someone else. He was asking how far it stuck out...

    Like everyone said you can't go wrong with either. Both expensive but you get what pay for. I personally like the style of the Demello a little better but I really like how the Pelfrey integrates the IFS into the bumper. I'm going with Pelfrey. Thoughts?

    Seems like a good direction, but I may be a little biased. You cant go wrong with either one!
