Looks nice and congrats! I will say, I have always found it funny that they state, "frame built bumpers" in their marketing as if it's unique. The frame is the only place to mount a bumper so.....

Thank you. I think the name comes from the fact that it's not a frame CHOP bumper. No chopping/drilling/etc needed. It's built ONTO/AROUND the frame maybe? I didn't really want to do any cutting or modifications to the frame which was one of the main draws to this particular bumper. Every company has it's little marketing keywords.Looks nice and congrats! I will say, I have always found it funny that they state, "frame built bumpers" in their marketing as if it's unique.

That could be. Just always thought it was funny. And yes most don't like the idea of cutting off frame parts lol

I misspoke earlier. There is some minor drilling. The upper outside holes on the ends of the frame horns have to be enlarged to 9/16”. BUT, no NEW holes need to be drilled. Very happy with the whole setup. Shouldn’t be too long and I’ll actually get a chance to use it!
