Looking for a bumper option without the weight of steel. Does anyone know of someone on Mud making aluminum or lighter weight custom front and rear bumpers? Cheers!

I picked up a Dissent front bumper and it’s pretty light, especially for the size. Not aluminum but it’s not ARB
Honestly, I have a ARB front bumper and a CO rear swing out, it’s heavy, but the 60 doesn’t mind, I find it helps the ride quality.

Yes I used to make aluminum versions.
My front ARB isn't all that heavy, compared to the factory slab. I wouldn't have mounted it, it if was (given an FJ62 at 7000' elevation). Rear bumpers with swingouts tend to be a lot heavier just due to all the functions they provide.

Are the large AUS style front bumpers/kangaroo guards aluminium or steel?
I always liked the look of those extra large setups...

They did have some aluminum ones down there! I like how they look on the 60s and 80s.
I have an aluminum bull bar ARB style bumper that is bent on one side and will need some work - but I’ll let it go cheap. I believe it’s Australian. Weighs about 35-40 lbs. DM if interested.
