    How would an Aluminess Bumper hold up in an impact from a Deer?

    Don't have any experience with an aluminum bumper but if you look up aluminum bumpers for Super Duty/Other Heavy Duty (they have a bigger market) might be able to get a better idea:cool:

    Anyone with a bumper with already installed 2" hitch, like the "ranch" style front bumpers?

    Please if anyone, add or attach a picture of it.

    Thanks.

    I saw several pictures and there is one only from the "inside" that show what it looks like a 2" receiver, do you happen to have a frontal picture of your bumper with this optional feature?

    Thanks,
    Regards.

    This pic is the front shot of the receiver bumper, but with the license plate filler piece installed in the receiver. That way it covers up the hitch when not in use and gives a nice place to mount your license plate.

    Now I understand it, thanks.
    Please quote me both :

    ALUMINUM base+fogs+Predator Guard from 2" tube and of course the 2" receiver.
    Metal same configuration.

    Do you custom paint them?


    Delivered to 78045.

    Thanks.

    Looks good.
    License plate adaptor is a neat cover for the hitch receiver, as license plates are required in CA, and hitch is a seldom thing.
    I assume deleting lugs are no problem. Would alum bumper be strong enough to left from, as is steel, and will you have lift cutouts?
    Any thoughts on making it a bit lower to look a little less aggressive, and also to fit a 2.5" to 3" lifted 4WD?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hey guys! I've heard that the ARB front bumper is the heaviest among all... is this right??

    Does anyone know how much weight difference is there between the ARB and, lets say, the Demello 3-hoop?

    The thing is that I'm having the chance of buying an used ARB for something equivalent to 350 USD, giving my stock bumper with lights to this guy...

    I wanted to know if there is a lot of difference in the weight, because, since I am in Mexico, I can get a custom made bumper similar in size to the Demello or the All Pro, for something like 400-450 USD, but I think that I will not have to change the front springs and shocks...

    Thanks!

    I asked in the past for the weight and it is 175lbs. That was from ARB USA.

    Thanks TRICOMA! I think that the others ain't that heavy, right?? I was trying to find the weight of them, but I'm not lucky or maybe a lil stupid! cause I can't get that info! hahaha

    Do the Allpro, Demello, and others need a stronger front suspension??

    Thanks!

    When I was inquiring...allpro was like 108.

    You would probably need suspension. mine is aluminum and weighs about 65lbs
