    Gross, all poo junk makes you use their proprietary skids that are no longer sold and have awful approach angles.

    I don't mind their bumpers but the fact you have to use their skids is what turns me off from them. I didn't know they stopped selling their skids though? Thought you could still order them through trail gear

    They do look better painted black with the grill hoop

    Their garbage doesn't fit well either, I have two friends with the old plate bumper that have had to cut and reweld parts to get it to fit right, one immediately bent it winching.

    I'm torn on doing full hoops or just a grill hoop. I like the look of full hoops but I don't know how necessary it really is, and it just adds weight

    Mine pushed me off a few trees a couple times but that may have been because they poked out like a some fat rolls over skinny jeans.
    They don’t help much in roll overs I guess

    Even my front tube didn't really help in any situations. I'm just gonna go tubeless this time I think. Never needed them for anything and the headlight ones are mounted at such an angle they provide little support.

    You know you live in deer country when the family sedans have steel hoop bumpers mounted to the front
