Default Why I love my Rigid Fab bumper

1. It looks nice
2. Less expensive then a lot of other options
3. More gussets then most
4. Craftsmanship is amazing.
5. Wrap around

The fabrication itself was top notch prior to bedlining. I actually forgot to get pictures.

Those concrete bumpers in the parking lot were not designed to be wheel chocks.

Terry's (Rigid) has very nice products , I have his Sliders and I will have my Rigid FbW2 winch bumper in a few weeks (waiting for it to be finished )

If you think your bumper is braced well you'll love the winch bumper !

Nice looking, but I love my hand made one, I can see peoples faces when they start to pull out and see me coming. They stop.
