    Thought about it some more and decided to go with the TG over the Avid bumper lol. My reasons:
    1) I've seen the abuse it can take
    2) It has a winch mount
    3) I can actually get it cheaper than the Avid bumper, by the time I add on all the stuff onto the Avid bumper I want the price is about the same if not more than the TG
    4) Brian and Zach say I should get it :p

    I just ordered my bumper nbd

    Just saw your PM, sounds like youmade a decision already. Pretty sure the Hella Black Magics I have are the same diameter as your Hellas so my bumper should give you an idea how they'll fit. If you don't like how the lightbar on mine obstructs a little of the top of the lights then weld the lightbar more
    vertical than I did and it should clear fine.

    Btw, I was born in Columbus. Go Buckeyes!

    the tg fits a little better than the avid bumper.. theres a significant gap between the skid and lower bumper and the tg has a stronger design in my opinion from looking at the two.

    youll definitely like it when you buy it

    Yeah, I was trying to figure out how I was going to mount my lights up. I probably will weld the bar a little more vertical then, thanks for the advice.

    Nice, go Bucks! :D

    Just curious, but what made you move all the way out to Utah?

    I thought Avid custom made his? Maybe I'm mixing his truck up with someone else's lol. Yeah I don't think I will either. I have TG's rear bumper too and I really like it. If the front bumper is made to the same quality as the rear bumper it will be one badass bumper. They're well built, strong and pretty cheap compared to other bumpers out there. The rear bumper can take out small trees btw lol

    Getting a bumper custom built would be a hassle and probably pretty expensive too. I actually already ordered 4xinnovations sliders. I really like the kickout and the price to get the DOM version.

    4xinnovations sliders

    There's too many builds to keep track of who did what lol. I don't know how to weld or have a welder so making my own bumper wasn't exactly going to work for me lol. I definitely would like to learn some day though

    Thanks for responding to my question on my thread, I was worried I wouldnt get any feedback. So in these pictures you are running the 3" OME Dakars and Coilovers on lowest setting. I dont really understand how the coilovers lift when they are set at 0" (I guess they are longer shocks and springs than stock). Also, what size tires are you running? I really like your rig, it looks good, not lifted TOO much!
