Default Detours Backbone?

Anyone here running the backbone? I cant afford a decent winch bumper and i don't want to do a front hitch and winch basket setup, i think it looks dumb. i figured the backbone is my only option, but i want to hear from guys already running it. any feedback would help.

I love detours products but if u can afford 290+shipping, if u keep looking u can find some cheap bumpers for around the same price. But if u wanna go with detours do it. Greay product and great company

if you want a rear tire carrier out back they are one of the best options out there for the money

allot of the aftermarket bumpers are made of 3/16 steel. not so thick in my opinion, the backbone is 5/16" thick! my old man told me to with the backbone too even tho its about the same price as a bumper.
