    so i ordered a pelfreybilt aluminum bare bumper back during the black Friday sale and have just gotten around to have it powder coated, I've now decided I want some hoops on it. Debating between the single hoop and the full hoops. I will be getting them custom fabed. Any opinions and pictures would be great.

    I don't have a front bumper, but if I were to get one I would get full hoops.

    Full hoops. No question about it. I've got retrofits and it's kept me from smashing a headlight more times than I can count. It's also a great mounting point for limb risers

    I like both hoop styles. Having said that...I just ordered a Pelfreybuilt in full hoops...but I've also hit more than 1 deer in my day so it is more utilitarian than looks in my application. I will say the hoops make it a PITA to work on the truck. I had an ARB on my last truck and it is much less fun to get in there to do the routine maintenance.

    Any reason why you don't like the full? It looks super mean with the full!

    I think the single looks better. I have single on mine. But full can come in handy. Ive heard people on the trail push fallen trees out of the way with their bumpers. full hoop definitely came in handy there. i went single for the looks, and somewhat protection of the grill.
