BAMF 3rd gen Hybrid bumper

Really leaning on this bumper and have a few questions... Did anyone opt for install at their shop? Also, what aluminum skids are yall running that aligns nicely with is bumper? Cheers

 

Installed it myself in the driveway with a floor jack and some 4x12 scraps to lift it into place. If you are picking it up in Benicia I could give you a hand if you wanted to throw it on at my house. Running BAMF steel skid trilogy so no help with the aluminum skids. Get it now while it is on sale.

 

Has anyone tried to squeeze a set of LP4s or LP6s inside of high hoop? I know I have seen this on other hybrid bumpers. Thanks

 

Do you mean unistrut? Looking to possibly do the same.

 

No, uni-strut is a c-channel. Tried to look it up but I’m not finding it. Here are photos from what I have here. I usually buy it at Ace Hardware or similar. Comes in 6 foot sections.

 

might be just generic flat bar with holes, like this:

That’s the stuff.

 

awesome! Trying this out. Bumper arrived tomorrow. How has the mount held up?do you think it’s better to go with two instead of one? What bolt size did you go with?

 

It’s been fine, no issues. I just bought bolts and nuts from Ace. The box only has 2 holes to mount on the bottom. Wouldn’t change anything. Maybe add some rubber trim to the side to help keep wires from rubbing. I may do that next time I pull the bumper and winch for service or work.

 

I have had this bumper in my garage since the end of March. It is still on the shipping pallet and still wrapped up. I was waiting for the money to get a winch and lightbar and the weather to cooperate before installing. Then daughter’s sports and activities took another bite out of my fun money. I really like the DD lights but has anyone used anything cheaper and if so what are my more budget friendly options? I may just install without lights when the winch arrives this week and save more and install later. Thoughts?

 

BAMF is top notch stuff, period. Cheers!

 

I did something similar. I didn’t have a winch or lights. I installed anyway, it looked good and made me happy, lol.

The time consuming part is removing the OEM stuff, so when it comes time to install a winch or the light bar, removal of the bumper is quite straightforward and quick.

When I got my winch I pulled the bumper off and put it back on in the span of maybe 2-3 hours.

 

NVM - found it earlier in this thread.

 

what winch fits with this bumper? Thinking about getting the Warn Zeon 12s.

 

Up to a 12k Warn. Not sure about other manufactures though. The Zeon 12s will fit fine.

 

Bumper is on. Bought this in November of 21 during the Black Friday sale. Sat in my garage for a while but it’s on. Still have to wire up the winch and do some trimming. Bumper cap’s from R4 Tacos are on the way. Need to attach the bash plates and BAMF logo. I am impressed with this bumper and the quality powder coating. If you are thinking about BANF Hybrid Bumper or anything else BAMF just stop and buy it. Lifetime customer here. Going to save up some more money for something else they sell. Hit it out of the park guys.
For those interested I am using the Open Road 9500 LBS winch and it fits perfectly. I’ll get better pictures later.

 

@JLee Do you have any pics of your 3rd gen Overland plate bumper with the full headlight hoops? Sorry to tag you in the hybrid thread but I can’t find much content on the plate version.

Any chance of getting a shipping estimate for powdered plate version to 30263? And are lead times still in the 10-12 week range?

Thanks!

 

I'm still waiting on full hoop installed pics, There is only a hand full of those out right now and I didn't take a picture during mockup. the lead time on the site is for bare metal only. powder coat will add at least 6 to 8 weeks to the lead time and quite a bit to the freight. Freight to business bare metal bumper is in the $350 range to GA.

I do have a picture of one not installed .

 

Does the front bumper work with the TRD skid?
