I know I'm getting to this discussion a little late, but still wanted to pile on.:dogpile: That is a great piece of hardware you've created there, Wicked Fellas.

I'm pretty much in agreement with swoop (though I hate to actually admit that) and whtrpta. First, I can't wait to see the kickout bar that's been teased. Also, I like the flow of the bottom bar better on the "mystery bumper." It looks smoother and doesn't have that awkward (in my opinion and circled in the attached pic) upward hitch. I also like the thinner lower bar. Makes the top bar look that much beefier, but that may also be a factor of the kickout bar. I'm sorry if it removes some branding, but I agree with putting dualies in the side squares. And I'm not sure how the geometry works, but could a 20/30" lightbar AND a winch cutout fit in that center opening? Or, is it just one or the other? How about laser etching an SVTRaptor logo on the skid plate so it isn't as plain? The last thing is I would also need some kind of front license plate mechanism. Or, I'll just zip tie it to the passenger visor, like I've done with my KR.

Dude, I just had another idea, what about adding a couple extra tabs for dualies in the angular openings (circled in green). That might actually flow awesomely with that delayed bend you have in the lower bar. Hmmm...

Well, guys? Any ******** flags back my way? Oh, and Go Noles!

Have at you!

I like the look too.

Not that I am currently in the market for a bumper atm - but I do have one design consideration for you:

I am so used to having a bumper I can stand on to work under the hood. Having a flat top surface, or some anti-slip surface like expanded steel - would increase the functionality without detracting much from looks.

Come to think of it, wrapping the whole tubing with 18ga 1/2" diamond extruded would probably look pretty badass, but that wasn't my initial intent in offering this suggestion.
