I have seen the one from FoxFab in person and I have to tell you that it weights a ton. I have seen the truck wheel and it really holds the ass end down. Makes it hard to climb ledges.
 
Photo Cruiser,
That is a sweet looking bumper. Did you have to cut the lower edge of the flare for installation. It looks like it but Im not sure if thats just the picture.
thanks

I like my 4x4 labs one. I do mostly extended camping, love the ladder for loading the Kayaks, and the thule box, or the roof rack if that's what's hooked up. The tire does not rattle at all. Don't wheel a ton due to work, kids, life and lame excuses, but I did do the Dusy Ershim once w/ the norcal guys, it took some abuse for sure, held up very well. Have towed my dad's 25 foot ski natique with reciever as well. The gas struts have held up perfectly. I would change the tire hold down gizmo, which I believe he did later on, mine was one of his first ones, the ladder got better as did a few other things. He will also do jerry can holders, cooler holder, whateva ya want. Being in Cali was part of it, no shipping. Yes you do cut out the rear crossmember, but it gets replaced with something twice as stout. If you are wheeling a lot, I would think this would be great as it does hack like 4 or so inches off the tail. Oh yeah, it looks sweet too.

Yep my flares were cut. However now they are gone and that area is sprayed with bedliner, thanks Mudrak. Luke always intended the bumper to go on a flare-less ride. I'm guessing it weighs in at 150-180 lbs....it's one heavy biotch. I see the argument of the Kaymar, it has it's benefits, but if you can spend your dollar at one of the smaller shops mentioned, I'm sure it would be really appreciated. I only met Luke at 4x4 labs once, but that guy has soul. He can have my hard earned money, and I hope he prospers. Same with the guys at Slee.....
 
Don't think Kaymar offers the side wings any longer. Silvercruiser had some fabbed up and put on his Kaymar I believe.
 
This is my Hanna

Mike Fox, the guy that built that bumper is on this forum as Foxfab and is a great guy.

While some may say the cooler is too low or sticks out too far etc, he built it the way the owner of the truck requested it. The truck belongs to John Goodyear (JJG) and is used more as a family vehicle. They live in south NJ so rod holders get a lot of use going to the beach etc. Not everyone that wheels is interested in building their 80 into a comp buggy.
 
Here's a few pics of mine. Biggest 2 differences between mine and most are that it holds a rear winch and happens to be for sale.

Very tight to the body and allows for excellent departure angle - has been used and really held up well.

For scale reference - the street spare is a 295 BFG AT/KO and the trail spare is a 36x13 TSL.
 
Here is our Luke Bumper

We had him add additional side protection and light tabs. Also had him modify the bumper to retain the original mud flaps. Pic taken before Hi-lift.

Can't upload the other pic
 
sam and any one who has a 4x4 labs bumper can you guys show us some detailed shots of the mounting? i think many have asked for these shots but no one has delivered. I understand the rear cross member is chopped ect... but id like to see the mounting holes brackets, as well as how the wings are supported.
Also how strong do you think the "wings" are? could they support say 200 pounds?

thanks
mike
