Southern Style Off Road Slimline vs. US Off Road

I know this is old, how do you like that bumper?

 

I like it a lot, I think it’s one of the better looking ones out there:

 

Same here, there are some fugly options.

I’m torn between the SSO without the Bull bar or the ARB bumper. If I had the money I’d get an aluminum Demello.

do you ever regret not getting the holes for the easy access to the winch? And what lightbar hole did you get?

 

That’s the Heise 20 inch light bar and honestly, I haven’t had to use the winch yet. I prefer the looks of the non- cut out bumper and I also have a remote control or I can just pop the hood and reach in from the top. I don’t do much wheeling other than muddy fields during deer season.

 

I have SSO with the cutouts. I love it. I've used my winch many times. It's also light enough I've taken it off and put it on all by myself with the winch in it. I got mine during a 25% off sale. C4 use to make a bumper this style and I had it on an previous truck. I like the SSO better though.

 

Have you ever had the truck pulled or winch from one of the front shackles?

 

I have run the line back to the shackle for double pulling strength.

 

Seem to hold up ok? I've never seen one in person, is it pretty solid?

 

Oh yeah. It's quite solid. I've even had to run the winch line under the truck and winch myself backwards. It worked just fine and I have seen no issues anywhere.

 

Hi, I have the same bumper I'm waiting to install. I got the 20" lightbar cut out as well. Do you know if you can use the heise even when it says baja designs specific?
