    Wild! I grew up in the downtown area (Martinez town) if you know it.

    not sure, thinking about doing similar with what @Gunshot-6A has and the lowpro look but I REALLY like the canyon zl1 bumpers.... so I kind of want something that looks like this

    As much as I want an aftermarket bumper I like the factory look... just hate the fact that it’s longer in the bottom than in the top. Makes it hard to chop it and make a custom “factory” bumper :annoyed:

    Is getting a 2nd bumper to cut up out of the equation?
    Another option is the hidden front hitch so you can remove it.

    I wouldn’t be opposed to that... but I’d rather find a way to do a bumper that retains the factory look and adds the winch plate and goodies but ALSO opens up the front Better to see the wheels

    That’s legit, what about something like this one from BAMF and they are on the west coast.

    I thought about doing the BAMF with no hoop... just don’t want a full steel plate bumper up front because they’re so heavy... alternative is to go aluminum though :notsure:
