Aftermarket Bumpers - weight difference

I understand a lot of people choose an Aluminum aftermarket bumper because it is lighter than steel. I’m trying to decide between a Ute and a BuckStop. Does anyone know the weight difference between the two?

My UTE weighs 130lbs no winch I believe the BuckStop is around 250lbs no winch.

A Reunel weighs a LOT-- like 300# without the winch.

Aluminum is great because you have the strength without the weight, and you never have to worry about rust...

That pic was without the winch, I now have the winch installed.

According to the box it came in, the winch weighs in at #130 lbs.
So, DOR Bumper and Warn 12000 would be right around #260 lbs, still less then the Reunel by itself.
