Alrighty, here's the full story.

I had bashed up my bumper pretty well (doing wheelies maybe? :)) and was in the market for a replacement. At the time, Calmini had just come out with theirs, but I didnt like their repuation. Joe Darlington makes a good product, but shipping would have added tons to the cost. I just wasnt impressed with the strength I saw demonstrated by the ARB bumper. Plus, I wanted it to be light.

So I went down to RockWare and spent about 2 hours talking with the lead fabricator, drawing, looking at pictures and came up with the design. I dropped the truck off about a week later, and after 9 hours and $750 I had a really cool, one-of-a-kind, custom designed, 50 lb bumper on my migo. All ready to pick up. They DID cut the front of my frame off and weld in a bunch of cross braces and other junk. That bumper has taken 2 really good hits, including a pine tree that I slid into while running an ice trail. I hit the pine tree at about 10 MPH and didnt even move the bumper. Took a huge chunk out of the tree.
