That's stinks re. the price increase. IMO not a $950 bumper. Puts me out of the market.

I do. It's a Dissent Offroad bumper - 100% made in the USA! (that's a link to the site)
It's still perfect - hasn't deflected, twisted, moved... after lots of winching things I really shouldn't have, e.g. a buried 3500 truck, a buried utility truck, trees/bushes out of the ground (removing them)... I've seen the suspension compress like a Raptor off a hold-my-beer dune jump and the winch slow to a crawl - and the bumper never creaked or complained. And, my bumper was one of the first couple Ben made. I bet he's gotten even better at it

When I seriously consider a front bumper and convinced myself, just found the price got increased from $750 to $950 everywhere. Plus $155 for the winch plate, it's really difficult to call it a deal, especially when the Ironman, including winch plate and hood loop, shipped at $999. However, the only issue with Ironman is it's OOS right now. Guess I have to wait for either TJM corrects the price or the Ironman is in stock.
I just installed Ironmans commercial bumper on my father's FJ, awesome quality and fit. Plus the winch mounted separate from the bumper itself (so does the TJM which I have on my LC and still love, but for the 1000 dollar mark I would go Ironman)
Yeah, $1000 shipped including everything, like winch plate, hood loop, LED marker/indicator lights and Fog lights is really a good deal, with Ironman. I will wait for it.
Besides of the separated winch cradle, another good thing I like with Ironman is no need to cut the frame I believe. So in case I have to, it can be restored back to stock. IMO I really couldn't get the point to cut the frame to fit an aftermarket bumper. After all, there are no-cut front and rear bumpers available.
on cutting on the TJM is on the LX. In order to get it to tuck to the body you trim under the headlights. the rest is 100% bolt on.
For the price I would go dissent or victory if I had to do it over.
i own a TJM and wouldnt buy it at this new price.

I do and do not agree. The principle of the price increase bothers me, but I think the design and quality is far superior to the ARB that I had prior. But agree with others I think the ironman is the go to over this for 999, free shipping, and includes winch carrier.
You are correct. No cutting to install, even for the LX.
Also, the way the winch cradle connects to the frame horns allows you to mount some recovery points from @TRAIL TAILOR to finish it off.

Here is how mine turned out with the Asfir skid and TT recovery points.
Looks beautiful!
Just FYI that the Ironman bumper is available for pre-order on the website, although the price has increased to $1299. I had to call them to get the on-sale price of last week of $999. Now just count down to the end of month for the bumper to show up 
Waiting on my winch plate to arrive...my winch has been in my garage for a long time now. Shipping for my winch plate keeps moving due to Covid FML.
That looks awesome.
Does anyone know of the price increase is because of covid?
I was really interested in this until the price went up. Hopefully it will come back down once things calm down.
Yeah, my Smitty was a hard fit, too. Ever a compromise, these rigs.
I think I’m finally done modifying my TJM bumper. Asfir skid, trail tailor recovery points, Smittybilt winch, Rigid pod lights, led bulbs in the TJM lights with Amber Lamin-x film, and Xprite 9” spot lights.
There will be an extremely exciting and excellent news coming from TJM sometime next year for our 100 series. Better start saving the coins now
That skid goes perfectly with that bumper
