LiL B's Fabrication 3rd gen front bumper

Hi yall I was looking to see if anyone has any experience with the Lil B's front bumper. I have seen it around on a few vics but I am really interested in it. I feel like it is a lot like the C4 fabrications front bumper but just different enough that I don't feel like it is the same as everyone else. It also saves some weight coming in at right at about 100lbs.

 

Look for the @runnin4tacos bumper thread. It is the same exact bumper.

 

I really like this bumper but my hang-up is they don't offer it powder coated if they are shipping it. Which will add at least a couple hundred on to the cost making it one of the most expensive options. I decided to go with the SSO hybrid, which is a very similar look.

 

Yah my luck is that I only live a few mins away from the guy that makes them so I can pick up local and with that being said local pickup means I can have it powder coated for just a little extra.

 

If I were local, I would 100% do the lil b bumper.

 

I had the Lil Bs bumper on my truck for about 1 month and have since ditched it. I had the benefit of them being local and able to go to their shop and talk/work with them. I have bushwhackers on my truck making it 2.5" wider, Brian was nice enough to cut the tubes a little longer to 'fit' the truck better.

Even after all of the custom work that was done the bends on the top tube still do not meet the profile of the truck. The top tube sits in front of the bumper at some spots and almost flush with the bumper in others, it's in consistent. With that said it doesn't stick out as far as C4, Relentless and BAMF.

No bumper is going to be perfect but you need to pick what suits your eyes.

For me, I will be rocking BAMF tube up front and BAMF dual swing out back.

 

I really like the look of the BAMF bumper as well the only thing I am having a hard time with justifying is that I am local to Co Denver area so local pickup is always nice.

 

this is true but with the price of the BAMF it will be cheaper to you even with shipping. Lil B's is not cheap

 

Most definitely cheaper. I really appreciate the info Btw love the racks it is the next item after the bumper to go on the truck.

 

hit me up! happy to help out

 

If you are in CO, check out the WarFab versions. They just released a new hybrid

That is a nice looking bumper. Screw powder coating lol. Clear coat/mavcoat and leave it raw.

 

I actually seriously considered it. I just built their Armagedon version and made it a one piece. I really considered doing a clear coat on it.
