Dissent offroad modular front bumper

I love the way this looks! Generally my vote is for easy access and sheilding the synthetic cable from sun and debris as much as possible.

Same here. Another plus to the larger holes, is more air flow and more options for different winch control boxes.

Thanks for experimenting. I like the look/concept but can you explain why the openings have to be so large?

Agree ^^ I do like the look/concept but... I wouldn't want to have those openings that big!
I'll scratch some stuff on paper here as soon the kids are down!

BTW, is that the small plate you were talking about on the bottom?

There's no way 10 of us will agree

Not trying to drive you nuts Ben, very much appreciate what you are doing.

If it helps, I for one would pay a little extra to get the holes cut in a smaller or more understated manner.

Have you considered a no cut out option for the diy kits? So people do whatever they want?

Totally agree with that one, get 10 different people from around the country with varying weird tastes to pick 1 final design!

No wonder slee still only offer their tire swing out on one side!

Appreciate all you're doing.

I think this is the best idea. If you are not happy with the final product then you can get a blank. I do agree that they look a little big. I think I could shrink them from the bottom up about 1in. When I get it on cad I will know more. If it doesn't cost to much to draw a few different options on cad than I will. Thanks for the feedback and I will do my best to make everyone happy.

I am finding this out the hard way haha.

I will more than likely do a blank with no holes. At that point you could cut them how you want or send me pics of what you want and I can cut them for $75

I'm guessing you mean the skid I was talking about? And no that is not it. My bumper had the same plate but with no holes.

Awesome.

Yes

Awesome.

Or perhaps a choice between blank and a standard holes option.

Yeah, thats what I plan. So far it seams to be 50/50 so I will shrink them a little and go from there.

Anxiously waiting to see it on the rig, but I am liking the size/configuration of the holes that you have going. One of the features that I like on the Slee front bumper is the easy access to the winch. This is a much better compromise -allows good access while protecting the winch. I assume that you could use those cutouts for high-lift points in a pinch?

Yeah, once it's on the vehicle you will really be able to tell what it will look like. One thing I will point out, is you will notice the angles on the cut outs are the opposite as the ones pictured on the gray 4runner. That is to match the angles of the 100 series grill. I was hopping to get a lot done today but I hurt my back at work so I don't think I will be as productive as I hoped. I will keep you guys updated.

Man, that sucks! Sorry to hear this! I've been there and know how crappy things get with that kind of pain! Just hope it's not the serious stuff!

Thanks, nothing to serious I just tweaked it a little and I have a problem with pinching my sciatic nerve. I was able to get a little more done though.

 

[ntsaint]

Nice!
