Marlin Crawler Front Bumpers

[Cruiserhead05]

Wanted to see what people thought. i just came across it. seems like a nice bumper for 500 bucks, although i dont know how it would compare to an ARB or a Slee bumper. strength wise and the looks.

Chris Geiger ( works for marlin ) was in the middle of testing his out a few months ago. He was not looking to duplicate slee or arb approach for protection He just wanted it high up out of the way.

Looks is so subjective but the round tube style is screaming "pre-runner/desert racing" to me. In other words, I don't think it looks good on an 80. On my Taco, yes. On an 80, no.

This is not to say that the style is not "strong" or "functional" and I'm sure the approach angles are fantastic.

Hey, personal preferance. I'm sure anything that guy makes is purely functional.
