POLL: Which Bumper Looks Better on Uglina

[TEQ]

EDIT: I've decided. Until/If I get a winch, I'm sticking with the OEM bumper. It is back on Uglina. I just like the classic look too much. If/When I get a winch, I will buy a HFS winch bumper (or similar). Thanks for all the input folks!


Use the voting to help me decide which bumper to keep on Uglina (see my fix-up thread here for details on the touch up I did as an excuse to try this short bumper).

Option 1: OEM Bumper


Option 2: Short "HFS" Bumper Bull gave me

I think the oem looks better with what you got going. Beautiful 40 BTW. That's a good dog too, got two of em

I voted HFS, but you need to install the shackles to complete the look. Stainless bumper bolts might look better also.

On that rig, def OEM.

If you're going to go with a winch, HFS...If not, OEM.

She's a beaut!

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

OEM

 

[FJsnoozer]

oem for your truck.

 

[velorider5]

Keep it original. OEM

 

[bikersmurf]

HFS if you're going to wheel it. OEM if it's going to be more of a logging road and beach toy.

 

[hey you]

Winch, HFS. No winch, OEM.

Winch, HFS. No winch, OEM.

Ditto, except I don't think that's a winch-capable HFS bumper. So, OEM

 

[DSRTRDR]

HFS if you're going to wheel it.

I went HFS. Close to stock, but a bit more rugged looking. You can't lose either way.

HFS for the win!

H.F.S. Sounds like a high school chant!

Heres mine with OEM foglights, and WARN 8274 Winch... yummy!

Back in the day, before I owned Uglina, this photo from CCOT was my inspiration. A full HFS bumper with winch would be awesome.

After looking at it most of the day I have decided this non-winch HFS bumper has to go. I'll stick with the OEM bumper and maybe someday buy one of the HFS bumpers with a winch.

Thanks folks!

I have a HFS on my rig and love it, but your 40 is so clean I think it looks best with the OEM bumper

FWIW, this is the way the bumper I have would look with a winch (and shackles):

oem is sexy...hfs if you're gonna wheel it and beat it.

HFS for fun. Change to the OEM when you get old and putz the asphalt. That pic and the HFS front look is also my inspiration for my LV build.

Love the OEM look....

Just thought id throw in my .02 even though you've already decided.

Sweet truck
