Nice! Aluminum or steel?

I'm headed down south in March to get rid of my stock rear suspension, 4" blocks, and shear springs and get a new set of custom springs installed. Then its front bumper time. Interested to see what you chose.

Chin nailed it, teaser alert. Two of my previous choses Didn’t pan out, one company stopped making them since fabricator quit and second custom builder had to stop due to health issues, but he is recovering.

My biggest wants were lightweight and low profile. More difficult to find than I imagined.

Pics promised once installed👍

Ujoint all aluminum front bumper, roughly 60 lbs
Rough Country Winch
Rigid Dually Amber Fog Lights
State law dicatates # of lights, there is room for three sets, I willl use one for fog lights and if void doesn't look good I'll buy 2 sets of cheap Harbor Freight lights to stick in without hooking up just so it looks balanced.

I dig it! I poked around for winch bumpers for mine, found alot I thought were "overdone ". That once has a nice clean cut no non-sence look to it. Ujoint sells those? have to check em out. but it looks great on your nook
