Looks nice, I've got a few questions. What was total cost? What material did you use for bars/plate? Can it be made to fit a TJ too? What'd you use to bend your pipe? Would it have been much more difficult/expensive to make the center hoop a bit taller? I'd be concerned with the tall hoop putting some good force on the bumper and possibly twisting it a bit.

I'm curious about how it mounts, please say it isn't to the 6 factory bolt holes.

the total cost of labor for this would be about 1000 to 1500 depending on what you wantit is made out of 1/4 inch steel with a c channel base it can be made to fit any jeep or truck the front hoop can be taller or shorter that would cost no extra or would it be anymore difficult also do not be concerned of it twisting or bending we guaranty that will not happen or we will build a new bumper for free depending on what you want the price varies it can be made with hidden winches frenched in lights bigger d-rings anything you would like

$1-1.5k? No thanks, way too steep for me, but it is a beefy as bumper nonetheless. Nice job.

1500 would be with all the bells and whistles and on a big truck for a simple one with no winch plate would brush guard hoop probably be around 800
