Bumpers: Cake and eat it too

[brasskey]

Offense never occurred to me at all.
It’s just my bumper...not my mom! lol
Light is good, and if someone is prioritizing light, TJM would be a poor choice.

No offense here either @pchLC. Just trying to help you understand all the differences.

another option - steel in a flat cut profile

ATL Winch Bumper

Looks like that's only for 09-14.

As a Dissent supporter, my opinion is biased. But just so you know, they are still operating on an install only basis. It’s my understanding that at some point they will ship bumpers, but it seems that will most likely once they slow down with installs. Recently I was up there and they seemed as busy as ever.

I like that, any 570s have this?

I have it in the running. I’ve gotten quote etc. I think the trimming would be very doable.

Great topic and just in time as I'm researching front bumpers for my LX
Wonder how much Ironman Premium weighs in as opposed to TJM and ARB
The other two bumpers in this thread are not my cuppa, they look very purpose approach angle focused in mind at the sacrifice of the looks. I personally don't like that they expose so much of the front tires when looking at them head on. Doesn't look like a landcruiser anymore and instead look like a Jeep rock crawling buggy thingy.
I wish someone built a light weight alluminum/steel bumper that retains factory looking angles.

I asked on the Ironman Premium - it's 120ish pounds 'additional'

I also asked on the 2016+ Ironman premium - they couldn't find a wait at hand, but thought maybe 160

120 is very doable. I realize it may not be as stout as ARB or TJM. But I'm mainly doing it for looks and a little protection.

Asfir says 52kg for bumper.
