    I'm in the same boat... Slightly over $500 for a tube, or slightly over $800 for a plate. Love the plate but not the price!

    Oh, if money wasn't a problem it'd be a Elite plate bumper. I'm thinking it'd be better to wait longer so I don't look back and second-guess myself :confused:

    Yea that is a good thing to do. Don't look back and say damn wish I would have done this. I would just go with what you have always liked and for me it has always been plate.

    Here is his website. Great to deal with and makes one hell of a product. Here's the rear plate bumper he just did for me 2-3 weeks ago

    sorry for digging up an old ass thread, but does anyone know who's this is, and have more pics of it?

    ...and where have other people had good experiences in buying the trail gear low profile front bumper from?

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    until you have rear ended another car at 25mph with a tube bumper, don't knock it... hahahah...

    remember, the purpose of the tube bumpers on desert trucks is to ram each other out on the trails/race course so to say they don't protect the truck isn't completely true...

    but like Zach stated earlier, if an LT prerunner, go tube, but since the OP isn't, the plate would look better...
