That looks absolutely perfect, not some monstrous wart that sticks out too far or is just too deep for the front, or just plane ugly like so many other options. Weight is a huge plus as well. Love to see this on the older front. Certainly the best looking of all the options out there for a full bumper. Are you working on a matching rear?

Thanks! Have had a bunch of requests for this style on the 92-07 so we'll do that soon. Rear is also on my list of things to do.

Wow, that looks awesome!!! Alum too, very nice job.

Thanks!

New bumper alert! Its' been tough for me to keep it quiet, I always want to share progress on new things but kept this one under wraps until complete. So, here's our 08/up bumper. All Aluminum, 65lbs, ready for a Warn VR12-S, has an extruded aluminum light mount for different lighting options, OBA & Anderson plug built in, 1" d-ring mounts, super happy with how it turned out. This customer dies't want flares but the bumper is made to match them. Taking orders now, $1895 plus freight.

Nice. What winches has it been designed to accommodate? Just the Warn or others as well?

We mocked it up with the Warn VR12-S, has the standard Warn bolt pattern and would take something slightly larger but that may require a different top plate. No big deal for that.

VA7.3 prep for Rhino. Gutted the interior, ground down and cleaned up some rust, POR15, she's off to Rhino now.

I had in mind to try a superwinch on the van. Any thoughts about accommodating that?

I put a Superwinch Talon 12.5 Synthetic in my Ujoint bumper. Had to clearance the lower grill trim due to the winch being taller than a Warn, and adjust the fairlead hole height as well. I can't wait to try it out.

Check it out at the Vanlife rally or Overland Expo East if you're in the area!

Hit me up before the expo so we can see if there's room for you to join the UJ crowd. We have 8 vans already, may or may not have room for a 9th with us!
