    It's a rough chop but it gets the point across. I think I need this in my life. For anyone with spare time, I suggest downloading GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) it's basically a free open source photoshop. That's what I used to make this. I also use it at work for proofs of concept and product concepts. It's a good tool to use.

    I think it needs the hoop.

    Looking at Demello's site I think your hoop is too high on your photoshop. Also are you planning on running a pro grille because I think the hoop will interfere with TSS on the stock grille.

    I agree the hoop is too high. I can't figure out what bumper is what. They said that the low profile can interfere with TSS but that the baja doesn't. Everything I see seems to put the baja right in front of the sensor but then there are pictures where the baja and low profile look the exact same to me. I'm going to have to call.

    I was inbetween demello and CBI, but ended up going with the CBI because it doesn't have a logo up front and it has less edges. Also a local shop had it in stock, in aluminum, so no lead time or shipping cost.

    The two designs are very similar. I like how Demello's has that extra little curve at the corner of the bumper and they also offer a lightbar version without the DO logo. CBI does offer a full 3 hoop design though, which I think looks the best.

    That is a gorgeous bumper! That didn't come up on my radar when I was searching or it would be a contender. Also, unless I'm mistaken, are those stock fogs?

    Actually, I was ordering it custom without the DO logo or cutouts haha. It was $150 custom charge but cleaner looking. Then a local guy had a brand new Demello stealth he was selling. It's with the 30" LED cutout, but I can deal with that.

    FYI Demello is having 20% off I think. If I am thinking of the same seller he is selling for like $1800. If you can wait on the bumper it's a much better deal. Also, Demello does have some stock right now, maybe you'll get lucky.

    Yup, those are stock fogs. Another nice thing about that bumper. I've since replaced them with Morimoto fogs.

    I actually wanted my Demello bumper without the logo as well but it ended up growing on me! Baja definitely works with the TSS in the Pro grille.

    That looks much better with the light bar cut out instead of the logo. Nice purchase.

    Problem with the light bar cutout is you have to open the hood to use your winch.

    Mule outfitters, in Issaquah. While I had to pay tax, there was no shipping, and it ended up being cheaper than buying it from CBI and having it shipped. I installed it with a buddy of mine (1st gen in the background). Really simple, to be honest. Just gotta measure buncha times and cut once :thumbsup:
