I've got the XRC bumper, I like it. Good approach angle, spots for a high lift on either side. I just wish the mounting plates were a bit thicker.

I've always liked Smittybilt's bumper designs. I've never seen them in person, but I'm a fan of the style.

I know local people. You could ask Logan, Nate, littleleonard (L&L), or Detours.

I don't know if the first three would do a custom build, and I don't know Detours' pricing.

Because after I've had a total of 6 cars ****ed over by mechanics, i don't want anything done at shops. I've lost all hope for humanity, and i don't trust anyone. I barely trust my BEST friend half the time.

When I got the first two out I refused to mention it for fear of jinxing it lol ...especially after your 90% "they will break" warning and that freakin' pix of the guy cutting up his floor. Got 'em all out though.

Trimmed the driver side fenders on my lunch break. Cut notches in them with angle grinder and then hammered them over. Not bad for 20 minutes and having the tires on. Will be easy to finish up later.
