    Full hoops and steel for me. I can weld steel and bang it back into shape with a hammer.

    One benefit of the hoops I've found was that they help see how close you are to trees.

    Did you add on the hoops after the fact or was this a special request for Pelfreybilt from factory?

    Those 37's are amazing by the way. As is the rear tray -- looking forward to v2.0 in your build.

    Full hoops* look badass and give more protection.

    The output from my light bar and fogs is significant. Don't think I will ever need any more forward facing light besides that.

    That was my thought, either go for front end protection or minimalism for engine access and crawling. I run an ARB and you get used to having the side hoops pushing limbs, bumping trees and rocks, potential animal strikes, parking lots.

    With full hoops you can run limb risers if you have a rack on top to attach them to. So many choices!!

    @BenTheMan, limb risers are instant overland cred. Yes!
