Show me your 2nd gen plate bumper with no hoops...

I'm really considering skipping the hoop option on my upcoming plate bumper purchase (still undecided between Pelfreybilt, CBI, or Demello). I'd like to keep down weight down and frankly don't see the point of full hoops for protection; most people I've spoken to with full hoops admit they've never had anything come in contact in that region. I have also been thinking just a center hoop for proportions; I've seen a few no hoop bumpers look like they have a massive underbite. The problem is, maybe it's just me, but I don't seem to see very many photos of trucks with no hoops. I'd love to see more to get an idea if I should go without. So if you have a second generation with a plate bumper with no hoops, post it up!

I like that. Do you ever wish you got a hoop?

 

Looks like only one person opted for no hoops.

 

I just ordered front and rear pelfreybilt bumpers front with the center hoop and rear with a swing out only like 14 weeks to go hahaha

 

Ouch. The front should be done sooner, its the rear that takes so long right?

 

I also want a single hoop pelfrey.

 

IIRC the center hoop was initially designed to not allow the hood to crunch in a rollover, maybe giving you a bit more hope to be able to crawl off the trail.

 

I could see this being important for pretty serious offroading but the adventuring I'd be doing with my family probably wouldn't necessitate such...even though I'm leaning towards a center hoop.

 

haha yeah forsure.

I plan on putting my HAM radio antenna on the hoops once I get a front bumper

 

Yessir I was told the long lead time is due to the rear with swing out ohh well it's what I want so worth the wait

No aluminum option. Looking to keep it light!

 

Don't forget about SOS Concepts!

 

They don't have an aluminum option. Also SOS's front bumper is actually my least favorite bumper aesthetically.

 

Here is my Taco with a Pelfreybilt. They do make aluminum one

 

Made by @Urineovrurhead

Home made, but no hoop
