    1. Are the “wide-cornering” version of the squadron-Rs an option?

    2. If not would you consider crediting the same value of the lights towards one of the winch options?

    BTW, what's the weight of the aluminum vs the steel? I looked on their website but didn't see it. I'm assuming the aluminum around 55lbs, but no idea on the steel.

    I think he said the aluminum is around 50lbs and the steel is around 110lbs

    Thanks for the tag but I'm a no go for this. Only way i could ever be interested is if they didnt cut there logo so big in it. Besides that its a good looking bumper. I'm also still recovering from my last purchase so all other upgrades are on hold.

    Agree if it wasn’t for the big logo right in the middle it would be a very easy buy. The rest of the bumper looks amazing.

    We have never mounted the stock fog lights to our bumpers, but others have. We may work on a kit later on that allows this.

    Roughly 50lbs verses 110lbs the aluminum is estimated at this time till we get a final version in.

    We will be doing a "stealth version" in the near future of our bumpers. This first round will be with the logo though.

    Thank you. We will be doing a version with out the logo in the middle. We were thinking a light bar option or just more access.

    @JDEMELLO Thanks for the replies. If I buy a hybrid bumper I'm going SSO, but if I go full this is the only option I've ever seen that I like. I might not get in the initial buy but I will probably be rocking this bumper eventually.

    On the truck with the squadrons under the hoop, is it an option to have pre-drilled mounting holes or is that something usually done after the fact?
