You're absolutely right. It's a beast. Which is great for durability, but not for weight. It's paid for, though, so I'm reluctant to swap it out at the moment. Maybe next yearGreat thread, and great photos! I'll definitely be lurking on this one
Just something to consider, that rock hard bumper is 1/4" steel and is one of the heaviest bumpers I've ever encountered. I use to have it, and it looks/works great. But holy crap is it heavy, compared even to something 4-6" narrower and 3/16 steel. Just food for thought since I read you were trying to lighten the load keep the awesome pic's coming!
