Backwoods Bumper installed... pics.
Did it myself today. Had a long thread started but it got deleted and I'm not going to type it all in again. Ask questions if you like.

A few more pics. Today I was able to install the Lightforce lights I previously had mounted on my light bar. Evan did a great job of locating the buckets for these and for my stock fogs.

I'd look for some clear 3M film as your lights are in a sacrificial position. I put some on my stock foglights after losing one. Very cool bumper.

That's a good looking bumper! What does something like that weigh?

Honestly I don't know the weight. I know it's a lot more than the stock bumper. You'd have to ask Evan and see if he's ever weighed one.

They are recessed pretty well but anything is possible. Never lost a stock foglight or other... but the only time she goes offroad in the past was when hunting and driving thru some cornfields.

a base bumper with no winch mount usually weighs 140-170. the winch mount usually brings it near 200#. Grille guards start to add quite a bit. We try to keep the weight low and the strength high!
