Short Bus meets tube. Looks cool, and I'll bet its light too.
Nice job.

Good lookin' bumper, nice build. Looks like a cross between Bump-it-offroad's bumper with a little short bus. I wonder if it'll create the same amount of drama as the last bumper thread.
Drop the roller fairlead and put a hawse and it'll be a whole lot cleaner.

wish I could do that.
Yes, the fairlead is an issue also from an approach angle point of view. Would not last too long I think on technical trails.

looks great. I know before long someone on here will say you copied someone else.... but i believe that in the armor market you can only be so original.
I'm not usually a big fan of front tube bumpers, but i like that one!

glad you guys like it and as far as saying i copied someone, sure to top tubes are just like slee's but lets face it the bumpers out their are'nt exactly cheap and im not exactly rolling in $ right now. So i just figured the next best thing would be to make one that i liked.

until someone forks up the $140k it takes to get a patent, copy every good idea you see on a bumper.
