You're right. Pics don't do it justice. Drive it on over to Mobile so I can see them. Ha. The kick outs aren't as pronounced as I thought they would be. I'd still rather have a straight slider but you made what you wanted for you and they look good. [emoji106]

well this isnt my design ... Its a Southern Style Speed bumper ... My shop makes their production parts... I'm a CAD/CNC/3d/designer/programmer/tech/engineer/project manager/salesman (title?idkijustworkhere) ... aka high tech sheet metal fabricator... I Southern Style Speed bring their design prototype to me ... I measure it ... convert it to a 3d model assembly ... and it break up into as few parts as possible ... that are then laser cut and bent in a cnc press break ... then SSS does the final fit and finish

Winch choice?

 

[THeGeNTLeMaN]

Winch choice?

I'v already got a 10.5K lb Recon rope winch that used to be on my silverado .... Not the most high end rig but it's pulled me out many times when i used to do stump grinding and tree work... and has a wireless remote which is nice ...

Nice. SSS should design a hidden winch mount. I'd be willing to be the guinea pig for the design.

there has been talk of a possible hybrid model like the 4runner ... but we gotta get caught up on other designs first

Cool. I hope that comes to fruition. I'm leaning towards something like that up front. Don't think I "need" a full bumper, not that I don't want one though. Know what I mean? Ha.

Wow that bumper is going to be awesome, very interested in how it turns out! How much would you say it weighs?
