    i'm not a fan of huge hoops..

    doesn't mean it looks bad, just prefer more streamlined as @JBTacoma said.

    Also the filler plates look better if they are inserted into the opening to where the tubes still show not a plate welded over the tubes covering them

    yeah that's why I like hybrid the best, it's a good combo of tough looking tubework but strength and appearance of plate.

    they are beef. just too big for me. I like them overall if they were just smaller...aren't they also the only ones that incorporate air bag sensors?

    This is the type filler I like, where the tube still shows.

    I like all the different style bumpers but for me I have to have a solid front bumper, I bounce off too many rocks and trees. :anonymous:

    I would bend tubes. I use mine against trees to push me around tight turns.

    Until you are blinding the person in front of you. When I had my jeep I would just run fog lights and my rock lights. When were out riding SxS and still cruising 30+mph then I run some extra light since we are normally spread out enough it doesnt matter.

    Actually not as big as I was expecting in person. Looked really good and proportional.
