@SouthernSS looks like yours? Early production?
No way. That thing looks homemade, and welded by a beginner (with a Harbor Freight welder).
Looks like the sss bumper that was damaged and welded back together or cut and welded back together.
That might explain it.

yeah I have no idea where that came from. I certainly wouldnt have even started my business if I couldnt make it look better than that. That porosity is atrocious. At first I was like, whoa, IS THAT MINE?!? but then as I look closer there are quite a few little differences that I would have NEVER allowed for my name to be associated with.
Im flabbergasted...

Im honestly flattered. But for arguments sake, heres a picture of my first ever prototype and also the first customer Southern Style OffRoad (Speed) ever had. After the first one was sold I got with @THeGeNTLeMaN to start producing cad files.

is that the same one that is on your website, the fog/spot lights look different? anything else different?
@SouthernSS damn, people already making cheap Chinese copies of your bumper?

The lower brackets are slightly different, the lower skid with the large holes in it looks like its a narrower cut, the light bar mounting holes look unusable, the fairlead seems to sit a bit lower, the corners dont meet flush at the outer edge of the headlight area, the angles that join the wings to the winch plate are too narrow, the splash guards looks close but a little different where it narrows, and I didnt use sheet metal screws to hold them on, lol

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was talking about the pictures you posted in post #7 and the ones posted on your website.
I would not touch the one on eBay, it looks like s***.

oh HA! yes the latest generation is featured on our website, and uses much more refined parts all around. Brackets,legs, etc. have all been refined to be lighter and stronger, and the number of welds has been reduced overall.
