    I appreciate your response and input! How will I need to approach the wheel well and taking off the front part of the covers?

    Double check the integrity of those recovery points before you try them out. Some of these Chinese bumpers just have them welded right onto the plate rather than through it and yank off during a recovery becoming projectiles.

    There’s a few quality vendors that offer aluminum bumpers. I would go that route instead

    Demello has aluminum bumpers. Spendy but nice.

    We can't compete with china bumpers on price, and I understand that everyone has a budget. If you are looking for a light bumper our aluminum come in around 50lbs and our steel bumpers around 115lbs. Good luck on your search!

    I like how the honeycomb cutouts on the wings are described as "delicate". Personally wouldn't want anything "delicate" on my off-road bumper.
    Probably just a poor Chinese- English translation but still.

    Looking closely at the pics that's exactly what it looks like. They don't connect to anything.

    Did you ever end up getting the bumper? Came across it myself and was curious about it
