It is a slick setup but that price tag is slightly ridiculous. I saw a couple on various rigs at Sema and they looked great and solid. I also saw several trucks with fusion bumpers. They are a plate style but don't have the exorbitant overhang nor do they stick out a foot from the fromt of the truck.If I end up replacing my stock bumper I am going to look into that one.

That's my top pick next to Thurens but it wouldn't look right on my truck at the moment since I have a topper so I'm waiting until I do my next change.

The bumper is $2400cdn so it's pretty pricy

I have a fusion rear bumper. And it's a piece of SHIT!!!!! Not enough bracing, the welds are thin and incomplete, brackets welded crooked, etc. :angry: :angry: :angry: Here's my write-up from DT. :angry:

Thanks for the input and review. Will not be pursuing the fusion bumper. Back to the drawing board.

If I lived further north, I'd figure out a way to get parts to you guys cheaper. Jeez, that sucks you guys having to pay so much more.

I have some pictures of an add stealth bumper that the frame horns are bent on it from pulling someone out. The company makes awsome shit if we custom order it but if you buy off the shelf your getting a much thinner frame horn and tube. In most circumstances you'll be fine but it depends on how hard you plan on using it. I can never remember if they have good tow hooks either or if you have to "burn some

Have you seen the Thuren fab bumper? It's pretty effin slick!!! But no designs for p.wagon yet. I'm hopeing when I go down there to pick up parts he can look and measure my factory fairlead and see how he can make his bumpers fit our trucks cause their pretty tough and offer a ton of ground clearance compared to factory and tire clearance!

Ill be building my own. It will look somewhat like the ADD. Its the only one I have found that offers the most ground clearance and retains the factory winch mount. I refuse to pay that much, its ridiculous, I ended up building my own sliders months before anyone came out with anything and saved quite a bit. Look just as good and have been Moab and Farmington tested. Pretty sure I can do the same with the front and rear bumpers.

Lol yes like what will said!

Legit though if you build your own bumper you can save some dough and you'll be satisfied with it. I ain't satisfied with mine but I'm in the situation that looks aren't everything and I can go wheeee when the other wagons are infront or behind!
