I'm sure its functional but the design is terrible. IMO the front is just flat and the ends are very "boxy" but if you like it cool... My favorite used to be the RIGIDCO bumpers. But I think JCR has changed my mind with their new design.

This is coming from a guy that makes bumpers.

$140 from Dirtbound for their basic stubby bumper, $200 with D rings or Winch mount. That's a budget bumper for sure.

Best?
The one that meets your needs, appeals to you, performs as expected and provides the protection you want.
