    What you like is all that matters for the bumper on your rig! I opted to go another route myself, but still really like the RockRunner as well as most all C4 offerings.

    The grille on that 2nd gen pictured is what I think is throwing me off. If it had a gen accurate grille I think it’d look proper.

    +1 for interest on compatibility with RCI skids. Curious to hear how the crossmember delete skid lines up when you get it!

    Will much prep be needed? Also think it’s going to take more than one can? Might do the inner fenders. For sure the bumper and crossmember delete/skid

    thanks for the heads up on hardware.

    Prep is not bad, I do brake cleaner to clean parts right out of the box, scouring pad, another coat of brake cleaner to clean dust, heat gun to get the parts warm (if it was summer just a sun bath lol) then paint.


    Two cans but only took one & half

    Looks great! Way better than I would have expected from a rattle can. Was going to powder coat, but I think I'll be doing all my new armor like this.

    Any idea if that’ll work on aluminum?
    Edit: the googles answered this one. Yes, steel-it is mas bueno on aluminum.

    Brake cleaner…genius.

    So no primer or anything needed for the steel-it?

    Yeah I’ve painted aluminum skid with it as well.

    I didn’t use primer at all, sanding, cleaning and paint right away

    Have had it on for a few days now but need to make some adjustments since it’s settled into place fully. Gotta push the winch back a little and move the driver side up so that it’s level.

    Not the c4 bumper but I'm running the warfab hybrid with frame chop and I have light tabs burned in to the top tube. Before that I had them hose clamped in the same spot

    Don't have any pics of the tabs themselves but how they sit now
    20240107_094731.jpg

    And how they sat with the clamps
