    Been looking at front bumpers.
    Not sure what to call them, but looking for the minimal cut versions that fit over the bumper like these 3. If you know of more please let me know. These are the only ones I can find, except the DV8 and BA not interested in those. I just ran across the Artec and wondering what else i dont know about.

    I think the term for them is "Bull Bars".

    This thread has most of the brand …

    Bull bar is for look, it doesn’t offer much protection. But you can mount light on it and that’s pretty much it. This is more of a low profile bumper.

    Yeah, that's what Victory has but after looking at the differences I wanted something more flush with the body and less sticking out.

    - ICON UCAs, BP51/Kings, SCS wheels, 285s, Leer 100XR canopy. Greenlane aluminum winch bumper, Smittybilt X20 winch. Trying Falken AT3w now, Really like BF KO2s.
    That setup looks weird like it’s just put on quick for a photo. I have the version for 2nd Gen of that and it all sits flush, the welds are so nice I almost didn’t want to get it painted.

    There was a thread on here that I saw months ago about winch bumpers and compared to the others the Victory did stick out and wasn't as form fitting (I guess that's the right way to say this but it sounds weird) as the others.

    C4's seems to stick out least. It looks like a good option, but they dont powder coat. Extra hassle on my end for not much of a price break.
