Needs pics of bumper

5. Retain existing front factory hooks or d-ring option

Very few of the aftermarket bumpers I have seen retain any sort of forward recovery feature. The only one that I recall is the LGE/CTS front bumper.

Actually I spoke with Rogue on the phone after they posted here. They sent me a custom Throttle bumper quote. No side mesh panels, one light in the bumper (2nd top light omitted) with amber ends, skid plate winch opening and winch plate with a smittybilt 12k winch. Think it would look cool too. Had no pics as it hasn't been done yet.....

Actually from what I found, the LGE*CTS one requires you to remove the front hooks and they replace it with two d-rings locations. The Venom from what I can tell, you keep the factory one on.

Just to add to the discussion the special Rogue is running on their Throttle bumper is huge. This bumper requires no welding or cutting, sticks out about three inches more than stock in the front and only five inches on the side. It weighs about ten pounds more than the stock bumper. Oh.....and free shipping!

I'd go ADD I've had mine for years and even hit a moose with it with no damage to the truck

Bumper Ordered!!

Well I finally made a decision and ordered a bumper. I ended up deciding to cut the frame horns to get the most clearance. I am getting the SVC Baja with a 30" amber Blackhawk. A buddy of mine has a plasma cutter and is going to relocate the factory tow hooks to the frame. Because of cost, I decided to omit the winch idea even though it would be nice to have. I decided to spend some of that cost that I saved on doing a winch (and rear bumper from Rogue) for a set of front and rear Icon's that will be installed next month.

So a couple nice upgrades coming my way.

I want to thank Christine at Rogue for working with me on ideas and pricing, she was a pleasure to work with and would definitely look at Rogue for future needs. I think I waited too long to make my decision to meet their production demands and arrival timelines. Who knows I might just get that rear bumper.

Of course, Jeff at SVC. He kept an open line of communication and easy to work with. He is busy and does have those occasional brain farts but I am sure I am not the only one calling him.

ADD was great to work with and then to hear their venom's are in stock and will be bringing to Raptoberfest, so no shipping. I was so close a couple times to get that one, so close. If they would of posted the Raptoberfest deal last week instead of today......

Shout out to all the vendors! And all vendors let me get this through TMX so I can better support the raptor community with no affect in pricing to me. The only vendor that never got back with me was LGE. I have no idea why. I've PM'd here and via email and even spoke with Dale on the phone but no follow-up on what I wanted. Yeah, I could of tried more to reach out but figured other vendors wanted my business more. His Baja bumper is nice though and definitely a worthy contender to what I wanted.

Thanks to everyone else who commented on the thread.

P.S. My wife doesn't know any of this but I can't hide the bumper and I am hoping she doesn't notice the shocks but I am not that sneaky so I am sure I will get caught. She is my co-pilot at Raptoberfest so she might notice the smoother ride.....

Glad you found exactly what you were looking for! Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate that. Call me when you want to do the rear bumper. And as far as your wife not knowing......she knows. Nothing gets past us, she just has an ace up her sleeve and she'll use it when she's ready. I bet there is a pair of new heels with your name on it )) LOL

Rick I appreciate the business! I am looking forward to having our bumper on your truck at raptoberfest. I will be the first to admit I have major brain farts and ADD that can be off the charts at times. Haha

I wanted the most clearance and even though I do like the Venom, the SVC or RPG raceline was two that I was considering if I was going to do some cutting.
