Just so im clear what do you guys want from a bumper? I'll see if I can get a CAD drawing up tonight
I am looking for a tubular frame with plate steel or aluminum bumper too...but nothing out there currently quite fits the bill. The best I've found so far are the ICI Baja:
Or the ADD Stealth:
I like the baja look, with the long center skid, showing the tires. I personally prefer a little lower coverage on either side of the center skid, to help shield suspension components and other things. I like a prerunner tube bar, but the ones offered on the ICI and ADD for the RAM 1500 are super low and don't look to accommodate decent sized lights (like the last picture, above.). I'm not a fan of light bars. Also, neither bumper has recovery points! WTF.
So, ideally I'd build a baja style bumper, with a single, tallish prerunner tube bar, holes/shelf to mount 4 aprox. 6" lights, recovery points (OR the ability to use the factory tow hooks!) and a place to mount a front license plate (california...). I'd want it decently light weight, not stick out like a huge underbite, and go all the way up to the lights (I have a sport/express one-piece bumper).
Personally....I don't have a winch and don't desire to install one. I would rather be light and fast with this truck.
Winch will go on my future jeep!
