Savvy. Prepped, primed w SEM black self etching, painted with 1 million coats of duplicolor bed armor.

That millionth coat is going to be the game changer.

yup. It’s totally FUBAR if you only get 999,999 coats.

I like the Motobilt stubby's myself, as for the logos, meh? I made lemonade out of lemons.

I like what you did with yours, subtle accents are my jam. I almost went with that bumper because of your photos ha. Been meaning to ask you specifically, how are your fogs mounted there in front?

Thank you, plagiarism is the best flattery. lol
Subtle accents are me too, I have a lot if you look closely.
See the holes in front of the fog light (you can only see one here).
Those are the 4 holes for the winch plate and since I'll never have a winch I put them to use.
Also not seen, I know have body molding plugs plugging the front two.
Did I miss it, what bumper did you go with? They're a lot of nice ones out there. It's a hard choice.

I've got the UCF aluminum frame width stubby on the way and will post pics once I receive it."
Found it, that's a nice one too. It'll look great.​

Hope so - order was placed on 5/15 and "in preparation" on 5/18. I'm not familiar with the fabrication processes that go into producing this stuff obviously but hoping it ships sooner than later.

Yeah I figured that's what you did, the UCF one doesn't extend that far back so I'll have to probably do something like what Irun did with the tabs.

That bumper was on my short list of possibilities, it get's rave reviews too.
The only reason I went with the Motobilt was shape, I really like the profile on these bumpers.

UCF aluminum frame width bumper arrived yesterday. Very impressed. Fit unpainted with no problems.

Will update once painted and on.

UCF full width aluminum .

Painted and mounted mine.

For some reason, probably I'm just too old, I just really hate seeing tow hooks and D-rings painted bright colors so they can be used as bumper decorations.

Nah I get it, it's something showy or pretty on a thing intended for utility. Everyone has got their thing.

Nice bumper, but it can't hold a candle to your little helper! lol

So they will see it clearly and not use the grille to tie-off.

So, figured I’d post an update.. In the end I went in a completely different direction.

Ended up with the JCR Dagger Stubby with stinger.

I liked the idea of having the lights in the bumper and was always on the fence about a stinger.. Definitely not as simple as what I was originally looking at but in the end I’m happy with the way it turned out

I believe JCR still makes the dagger but only in the pre-runner option. I was able to get left over stock from azoffroad
