I See Jeff is slacking again. That water bottle needs to be placed on the cooler!

Oh and nice bumper. Not for me, I like full coverage. I never wear a bikini. Lol....

I echo the corner comments, both for protection as well as filling that indentation on the bed. Something needs to go there, and I do not want to paint my truck yet.

I also vote for backup sensors, license plate, and an option for lights would be nice.

Lastly, I would like to see the hitch provision move outward by even an inch at the center. With 37's it looks like there are three interference points. Two can be fixed by sectioning the hanger mounts, and if the third middle of the hitch were moved aft, I think a full size 37 would fit without hitting the diff.

For symmetry sake I would buy this just so I have SVC front and rear!

The hitch receiver can be moved forward without issues and once you clearance the frame section, I think a 37 would fit in there.

The license plate light will be incorporated to comply with regulations for night driving so you don't get pulled over.

The backup sensors are going to be the tricky part. They need to have zero obstructions and I'm worried they might pick up the top tube. If that ends up being the case then they might have to stay off this bumper. I really don't want to sacrifice the clean and minimalist look. That doesn't mean I won't give it the old college try to make it happen, but if it's a no go, those getting this bumper will need to back up like my old pappy use too, look over the shoulder beep free...

I do think there is room to throw 2 small lights in the bumper. These are all things we will play with on the next one we build and hopefully get everything in there without sacrificing the look of the bumper.

The cool thing about doing it this way is you guys are all part of the design process. We will take all info into account, make another revision with these tweaks and float it out there for you all to see.

What about beefy tabs so that I can install crosby screw pin shackles? 12 ton shackles to be exact.

This is a bumper for the select few who are "commited" so to speak.

Its a bumper that is going to have some sacrifices for the end result of greatly improved ground clearance (and good looks). If you cant handle sacrificing something to the raptor gods, then this bumper isnt for you.:crazy:

The first time i seen some early pics i was amazed that there was even a hitch in this design. Designing a bumper around a hitch is genius and is being executed well.

I have some great ideas for when it comes to building mine that i hope can be incorperated.... Have to wait and see.... And no, it doesnt include sensors.
