Poll- Tube vs Plate front bumper

Hard to find an ugly one, whether is tube steel or hybrid

 

Thank you for doing that. I agree with all.

The Elite style is great. The 4x Innovations and Shrockworks are among my favs.

 

What kind of bumpers do pirates prefer??



AAAAAARB! (put another plate on the barbee matey!!)


This thread is so full of front end awesomeness, have to agree, seriously tough to choose man!

Both have their pros n' cons...I chose ARB for their quality, consistency, ease of fit and installation, and well, #becauseaustralian

 

Tube!

 

I like the plate look better, but I'm stuck with the nearly useless OEM style. If it hasn't already rusted through (the metal part), just leaning on it would probably bend it.

I am sometimes off-road for work purposes, but not for fun, so I don't feel I can justify the cost of a bumper upgrade. I may feel differently if something ever hits me in the front (or rear, for that matter).

 

for reference, I just finished grinding my CBI DIY bumper and the only reason I used 2 60 grit discs is because I had a friend help out with the grinding. could've gotten away with just one disc at a cost of $8 from lowes, even cheaper at HF. Didn't take that long to do the grinding either.

 

Only weighs 99 pounds. Here's a pic of it tacked together:

 

I’ve had tube, kinda want a plate, really hope pelfrey makes a hybrid before I decide to get another bumper, just for another option.

 

Pelfrey is currently taking deposits on their 1st gen bumpers...

 

Not hybrid

 

Looks good so far! Have you considered adding support tubes to the main headlight hoop? Really changes the look for the better I think.

 

I went back and forth on the headlight hoops but decided against a it, as well as supports to the center hoop. I just like this look the best where the center hoop kind of traces the lines of the grill.

 

Would like to see some Pelfrey ones.

 

Plate. Tube looks dumb.

 

That seems a bit harsh, still looks better than stock... pic for reference

 

I think he meant tube bumpers other than yours and mine, I'm pretty good at reading fine print.

 

Well, yeah!

Honestly, we like what we like, I suppose. But the broad, blanket statements on TW just never get old.

 

That's why I clowned him a bit above haha. Never tire of the threads like "no fender flares looks stewpid"... or "why do people put lightbars on their roof that's dumb". The fun part about modding a truck is seeing how your own ideas and interests can come together to make a machine function the way you like it to. That said my truck looks like dogshit but I love it and it's proven to work well for me.

 

Camper shells on trucks look dumb. Get a RV
