Fun thread to read, hadn’t even looked until this evening.
There is not a perfect one for me on the market. Front or rear. I currently have a SLEE front, its my 3rd.
Not sure if DVS has changed their design but not being able to see the winch cable is a big no go for me. Also, I like the winch feet forward.
I do really like Shauno’s on Sooty for a front.
Some rears I like this feature or that feature but none really do it for me, even my SLEE rear has a thing or two I dislike. I can say though the SLEE has saved my lower rear quarters from crunchage. I had not seen detailed pics of the Dissent rear, man that is a really killer rear bumper. The double sheer, the frame tie in, rad. Just needs rear lower quarter protection. For me on a rear, the hand smack test on the tire makes or breaks it. If the tire shakes, I hate it. My SLEE is getting modified, thats all I am saying for now. I am going to build my front for my 80 UTE.
I don’t mind ARB fronts, rear not a fan. I grew up with these trucks and the ARB has been part of that too. I do like how I can see the corner hoops on the ARB from the drivers seat, offroad thats money. When I lived in Wyoming I used to call the ARB a one hit wonder because it won’t survive hitting a large deer or elk or moose which we had a lot of.
I have installed SLEE, DVS, ARBs, 4x4Labs, TT, ummm what else. Been a lot if Cruisers over the years, may have forgotten one. I think going forward I will be building my own fronts at least, I am all setup for it now tooling wise.
Cheers

I’m curious of your design and functional requirements. Are you going to make only one or more?

Probably just one offs man. I am not into production, plenty of companies got that covered and we are busy building Cruisers. I have zero interest in production or retail.

All of these bumpers are hideous and you all suck. There's only 1 right answer here. It's everything the DVS tries to be and more.

If you read the thread you'd realize I already bought a bumper so the pool is relevant now and people are just discussing good options and putting good data in this thread for those who want to research bumpers in the future

That’s cool, never seen that one.
That new option is funky. Places need some selective editing sometimes. Much like the Civic type R, a few less wings and such would be lovely.
I recently acquired an 80 series. I have ARB bumpers on my Tacoma, 60 and 200. I'm ok with the look on my rigs... I've been on the hunt for a bumper for the 80 and as it stands with me, they all look like s***....so I'm going to keep the 80 bumpers. No vote for me.

Hello all. New to this section but not mud. I also own Ingrid a sweet 60 series with only 135k miles that was owned by a few great members on this site. Anyhow I've acquired a 95 80 series that I traded a motorcycle for. The truck was from Arizona. I got it with the lift in it. It's OME and sits...forum.ih8mud.com
Still my favorite 1-off…
