Bumper Choice
« on: August 02, 2015, 09:10:24 PM »
Im looking into  getting a new front bumper. I never thought I would do this twice but Im really looking into getting a different "skinnier" bumper. Looking for your thoughts or experiences with any of these bumpers. I'm looking for best approach angle, skinniest, built to last, and able to hold a set of lights where the mounts won't don't let the lights stick out and get crushed.

I have a couple in mind. If you know of others, feel free to add them to the list. Budget wise looking to stay south of 600$

-The VKS preener bumper w/stinger and tabs

- The TNT customs Guardian Bumper with tabs.

- PSC BFH Trail Stinger w/ tabs

Aluminum bumper if your changing. Might as well make it lighter.

The tnt bumper looks interesting. Quite the commitment to cutting up the front end though.

Jay has the VKS bumper and it is really sweet.  I have the PSC BFH w the trail stinger and like it a lot as well.

Either would be a great choice, they require cutting your frame but it is simple install and the finished product is real nice.  If I was buying right now I think I would go with the VKS.

I have not seen the TNT bumper in person, can't make a comment on it.

VKS!! prerunner looks the best by far!
Most LCOG Builds are like a fat girl in Yoga Pants, just cause it fits doesn't mean it works...
