i really like that rear bumper...daum
I like the front bumper alot. I will be interested to see if he uses the jerry can carrier design he showed me in his shop. I wonder if he ran out of time to make the carrier for the left swing-arm.
Are those 747 controls in the middle of the bumper 
? Any closer pics of what he's using to latch the swing outs?

The latches are his own design.
that's one sick bumper!
Ya....looks sick. UGLY! Let's see some more pics so I can change my opinion! I'll withold final judgement.
What matters is whether or not it is a solid, functional design that does what it's intended to do. If the masses like it, and it serves its purpose, it's a winner! If 1 or 2 people think it's ugly, so what...

Sorry man, that's no excuse. It's ugly (the rear one).

I dont know if its the picture (we need better pics) what purpose does the center dropping down so much serve? Again from the picture the first thing to come in contact on approach angle is the fairleed, cable or rope?
The side wings apear to be huge and hand down too much. 
Im not saying I dont like it until I see better pics

I like it... nice modern look and if I didn't like my paid for T3 so much, I'd buy one. Open to straight up trades though 
I'd guess the center droop is for space to hold a larger winch.
To each his own.
Like that rear with the ladder too. Good work!

The mid section is right at the bottom of the frame rails. It can't be made higher if you guys want a bolt on setup....same as the rear ones in that respect(to help with visualization). The wings seem tiny to me compared to an ARB say, plus on the DS you need to protect the windshield washer fluid rez.

The center is like that so you can see the winch line. That's about all I know.
I like it. It definatley is not your average production winch bumper. It looks more custom than anything. Meaning 1 of a kind like exiled's bumper.
And a question for Christo-
Will there be a large number of these bumpers built? Or will I be a small production. Small as in 50-100 and large as in 500+.
Id bet money that there will be as many made as you guys keep ordering...just like the sliders, bumpers and skidplates. I doubt 500 since I don't even think 500 ARBs & TJMs are on 100s.
The top of the center section that comes down is for easy viewing of the winch cable, correct.

For me it must not only be functional and durable AND it must also be attractive to my eye.

I think it is also for being able to use an m1200 size winch also?? Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

And I'll bet Slee made it to accomodate a 12K winch. It's a huge truck. My 8000 didn't even tug we once...though I was high-centered and at an extreme angle.

Hey, I have an idea - let's talk about a bumper and your opinions of the bumper.
I've seen the both bumpers when i was SLEE almost a month ago, i really like!!! ready to order as soon
as in the market. Yes, the front bumper accommodates m1200...

Sweet 73! Does it look like it offers any advantage in the approach angle department over say the ARB?
