    Hello expansive internet world, I wanted to see if any of you 3rd gen owners have found any good options or know of anything coming in the future. I see a few great options for the 2nd gen but am having trouble finding anything besides "Move" bumpers which let's be honest, they make our trucks look like they have
    buck teeth. I'm seeking an option more in the lightweight / Baja style category. Anyone know anything or can help steer me? I want an option that has taken some engineering into account, I don't feel like studying the ins and outs of structural integrity around things like d ring spacing and proper frame attachment points, just want to weld it myself. Thanks!

    A weld it yourself rear bumper would be a great idea for those of us with no way to fab it up. Plus it might save on shipping since it would be a smaller package. And since I also weld as part of my job I think it would be a fun project.

    Exactly, I see a few options for the 2nd Gen, maybe nobody buys them, I just want one of teh major manufacturers to send me the metal after its all cut, Ill figure out how to put it together.
