    Ah I see now, the ADV glass sticks out about 4" past the oem metal fenders -- it would probably be close to an oem fit aftermarket bumper, but I wouldn't expect it to be wider by any means.

    Thanks for the help. The way this bumper was built I dont think the flat area of the 4” fender (stole your photo) would clear the steel bar. Thats why i was looking for something that tucked the most. Oh well. Didnt think id want to go more than a 2” flare. The angle doesn’t show it exactly but its slightly above that body plane

    This is with 2" glass and stock length UCA, LCA, and maxtrac spindle. the bumper is basically stock size bumper cover width if that helps you

    Looks Good! Those upright supports look familiar...Like em so much I copied Sam's LTDSC FauxRunner Build. Although, I think your angled support how it's bent up and more streamlined looks better.

    Awesome thanks. Seems like the mcneils tuck back towards the headlights a little more than the other brands

    I got lucky and the guy was willing to make it fit the glass exactly.

    I had the little flairs from the stock bumper on for a bit. But they took a lot of trimming to clear, and it was just too many angles at once for me

    That was pretty wild. Big driver mistakes on both big crashes. Waiting on my call back for season 3 to try and get a taco on the show

    Someone in the comments did say they were made in Canada. If I recall, Elka uses a smaller shaft diameter on their OEM stuff. If true, you would think DK would require them hard built to their specs.

    They are definitely gold elkas. Likely with their own valving. The one piece seal head / top cap assembly is 100% Elka. The top hat that is drilled and threaded for multiple platforms is also Elka. So are the reservoirs and adjusters. And aluminum bodies. The only thing that's not Elka is the colour and the stickers.

    Hopefully they are tuned better than Elka...
