I saw this in a thread over on YotaTech: http://www.bigcountrycustoms.com/custom.html

Looks like there's another custom fabber out there making rear bumpers for us. Personally I don't care for this one that much, the rear view looks too bulky.

I'm sure there will be some custom jobs out there. It is a pity that this one turned out so bulky, don't even want to know the weight it adds.

They seem to start off right with the fender lines at the top and then it just looses it as it goes down to the frame.

Nice find.
I agree. Way too bulky. Looks heavy and doesn't have Hi-Lift and gas can holders.

Shave that extra 1 1/2 inch on either side and it will look good.. .or as good as the other ones.

More aftermarket the better for us....

More choices are better, but I would completely tuck in the corners at the bottom. Also make the lines flow better by removing what lukes like a huge square tube wrap around.

You are most likely to drag the bumper at the corners and that is why Luke at 4x4labs specfically tucked mine in. Makes a huge difference on the rocks.

Agreed, but not a bad design.... we all like different things. No one bumper will be perfect for all.....

it's interesting for sure, great that there are more builds popping up!

I think if they brought the sides in about 2-3" per side, it would be look really nice. Instead of kicking out wider, just make it flush or step inward... that would make a really big difference.

Side view looks good, just needs to loose a bit of width.
