    Almost a year with my SSO Slimline, and it still puts a smile on my face every day. Best looking mod I have done, or ever will do.

    Do these bumpers allow the use of the caliraised 32 inch lightbar behind the grill??

    It's not specifically designed to do so, but I do know that lots of folks have made it work.

    I dont think you'll have an issue with the caliraised lightbar bracket they sell. You should be able to use the top light bar mount even with a winch. Our bumper doesnt remove the attachment points of the caliraised bracket

    I like the looks of these. Living in the AZ mountains I’m wondering if these slimline will have enough protection for deer and elk or if I should get something bigger like the Fab Four vengeance. The wife likes the smaller look.

    If you hit something like that you need way more protection. Most grill guards/bull bars will just crumple into the grill. Use the SSO and drive slow enough not to hit them or go big/go dozer.

    I wouldn't depend on a Lo-Pro style bumper to protect a whole lot if you hit a large animal. It may save a portion of the radiator if the animal goes down instead of up into the grille. I also would not count on a Fab Fours bumper protecting anything either. I have seen them in person and they are extremely flimsy. You anything larger than a pheasant and that bumper wont hold up!
    The best option for large animals would be something like our Overland series front with the full hoops. The bumper structure is made from 3/16" steel and is very stout. The extra tubing will help protect other vital parts.

    We do not have plans to do a veterans day sale, however we will be offering a black Friday sale and we are most likely going to include Tacoma Lo-Pro bumpers.

    Looks like I will be spending money on your bumper for black Friday. Wait it out I guess... Unless C4 would be able to send me a promo code?

    Love love love my Souther Style Offroad front bumper! Having the longer 32" lightbar is awesome and the fit and finish are top notch. With second to none customer service you can't go wrong with SSO. I may sound like a commercial but there are so many bad companies with mediocre products and sub par customer service, when I find the needle in the haystack I'm going to shout it out. Thanks again Southern Style :)20181002_172246.jpg 20181002_172259.jpg

    Love my cheese grater. We're on the trail deep in the middle of nowhere and we stop for a break and you pull out a 20lb block of cheese for the trailside tacos...I'm your man. :rofl:
