    welded up two tabs to the vertical tube work for each signal surround...
    then simply bolted 'dem on.

    Initially all of my tupperware was cut up and used...
    even the top filler panel was made from the tupperware.
    guess it's a thing I have for using what already exists.

    But later I added a 1" BL...
    so had to shitcan the top plate...
    haven't done a thing about that since :eek:

    That's what's strange. Even though they sit directly in front of the headlights, they don't show a single shadow. Defies logic. :D

    I love my TG bumper. I like the receiver hitch and it holds up really well.

    I found All pro's on ebay when i was in this predicament and offered $390 and they took it. It was originally $449 on there. Here is the link. I don't think strength will be an issue with either. They both seem pretty solid. I would just go with the best price and what look you want.

    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    Trail gear, because I have one in my garage waiting to be installed....yep my ARB will be gone in a couple weeks.

    Why, because it has a receiver hitch that you can use.
    It gives another option for hitching up the strap.

    For my case I think I'm gonna go for the trailgear with the stinger loop.

    I though it may be useful to open the trail when I'm traveling in high bushes.

    Gonna be empty my pocket, I think I'll go with the tront bumper, rear bumper and the trailgear TG8000 winch all in the same order.

    I will be adding light hoops to mine after or while I'm building my tube doors..
    But the AOR bumper is similar to the TG in means of having a new front crossmember alltbough it has to be welded on which is the downside for most but if you have access to a welder then I'd consider it too and from what I've been told from another member who got the TG, the AOR one is a little cheaper as well

    I read the first page so sorry if this has been covered. What are the prices for these bumpers??

    Personally, I like the TG better

    Do you have a write up on how you modded the rear trail gear? I’ve been looking into doing the same thing with an all pro. But I like the trail gear more, just didn’t think there was much to tie into and still have the tail gate clear.. haha
