    I wouldn’t get an Amazon bumper unless it had reviews or a known brand. Could end up being super light weight steel that won’t hold up to anything.

    Want a money saving option... SSO is selling a self weld version of their hidden winch bumper.

    BA is a known brand around here, and there's plenty of reviews. BTW... SSO (Southern Style Offroad) is offering the "weld-your-own" bumper... not SOS (a competing company).

    Thanks for the typo catch! Wasn’t sure about BA. Heard a few guys run them but nothing overly positive or negative. Also haven’t gone out of my way to research them myself. If there’s plenty of reviews, seems the OP is just taking the easy way out. lol

    No prob. Yeah, I haven't heard anything overwhelmingly positive about BA. I personally would stick with SSO, the OG of the slimline bumper game. They seem to have the best quality, fit, and thoughtful design. I understand the lead times suck, but you get what you pay for.

    Yeah they have been on my list for awhile, even though I probably won’t actually get armor. Their weld video was pretty good too.. their fab guy has some serious skill.

    I think it’s a great bumper. I like it, easy install you can find it on Amazon and other retailers.

    I don’t know about having the winch cable come out at a downward angle. It’s gotta be hard on it.

    I don’t have any complaints about mine and also have the matching rear bumper.. It’s well designed, functional, and had a decent enough finish even though is not made in the US.
