    That's actually pretty good looking. At least it covers up that hideous grill.

    I love it too ... hopefully it will have a provision for a winch in the front. I need a bumper like this so I can PUSH things out of the way or PULL them out.

    :thumbsup:

    Just double checked IT DOES have a winch .... Oh Boy this is exciting .... I need it in Black!

    Says it is a prototype .... wonder when it will be a available?

    Is it ready now? How about now? And now?

    I am a patient man ... I just don't like to wait!

    :annoyed:

    It looks good, but it juts way, way out from the grill. Also, there are no recovery points on the bumper. IIRC, because the keep the stock crash cans, it can't take the shock loads from recovery points, but they say it is OK for winch loads.

    There are other pictures/threads out there with more information than I remember.
