    I personally really like the look of the Road Armor bumpers. I actually them better than any others that I've seen.

    But $2000 for a front bumper?!? Really? I understand that because of the "stealth" look there may be more pieces involved to weld together but c'mon. Material cost for this thing is roughly what? $100. $200. I'll probably just have a fabricator make me something that looks close to this for 1/4 to 1/3 the cost.

    Quick question. If you had both the Road Armor front and rear bumper would you, in theory, need 2 winches to accomodate both? Might sound silly but I have NO experience with this at all. Thanks guys.

    The winch mounts in the bumper...so if you wanted front and rear winches you would need to put one in the front bumper and one in the rear bumper...or make a sweet pulley system.

    That's kind of what I thought but wasn't certain. Would have to be a really sweet/strong pulley system for sure.

    Thanks NwiTACO!

    i gotta disagree with you on the who ever let it release should be fired. it really doesnt look bad at all. plus is you look at all their front bumper replacements they all have that same styling

    damn. thats a pretty bad ass bumper lil expensive but not to bad
