Definitely one of the more attractive bumper options this weekend warrior has seen!

Any plans for aluminum versions?

Yes. When the aluminum prices settle down a bit.

Understood!

What's the weight of the steel vs aluminum bumper?

What's the weight of the steel vs aluminum bumper?

I imagine he won’t know until he makes one. But significant...

Aluminum could be as little as half the weight of steel.

But can also be half again more expensive!

Who knows though, his design is so minimal that maybe the steel version won’t be very heavy at all.

This is a great 12th anniversary gift @jynx

What's the weight of the steel vs aluminum bumper?

Steel bumper will be about 95lbs, aluminum is around 35-40 lbs.

Just picked up an 03 and I'm so damn excited that youll be making parts @benc!!! I was looking for an LX mainly because of your bumpers. haha

Front is finalized and will start production in the next couple weeks.
Changed the cutouts a bit and recessed the fairlead.
