I like it.

Slee did good. But I like dissent's low profile bumper better. Looking forward to more details on the sliders, frame mounted with the AHC would be a big plus over dissent's.

So far, Dissent's bumper + Slee's sliders (if confirmed they are frame-mounted).

I was chatting with Slee at Overland Expo (Amory and Christo) and I looked all around their Honey Badger build.

-Sliders are frame-mounted. In fact, they did something pretty cool where they built effectively a steel sleeve that goes over the main frame rail, and they built their sliders to come off of that. Very stout, as is typical of Slee. They look great. They are almost ready for prime time, they are just working on covers to go over the AHC components.
-The bumper they showcased is aluminum or almost entirely aluminum. They had their prototype, unpainted center piece out for display and it must weigh like 8 pounds. They incorporated some great recovery points designed for soft shackles and the clearance gained by their bumper is significant. The fact that you don't take any payload hit with their bumper is a great selling point.
-They had TOYO 35s on it and wheels with a +25mm offset (so just a bit negative offset relative to OEM wheels which I believe are +58mm) and it seemed to be enough to clear everywhere with those tires. I didn't see any signs of rubbing on their swaybar. They had the front mudflaps removed.
-They don't have pricing dialed on the front bumper yet, it will depend on demand of course, and also what the custmer wants to include (winch, lights, etc.) I'm hearing $3500-$4500 likely.
-In typical Slee fashion, they were able to include all OEM functionality on their bumper, from proximity sensors to cornering lights.

I’ll be at Slee tomorrow morning. Hopefully the LX is there so I can see it in person.
