Hey everyone! I’m sorry if this is a repeat topic. Did some searching and found some helpful posts but not quite exactly what I’m searching for.
I saw Eddy’s great video on the LOD Destroyer stubby bumper - and eventually I landed on the LOD Signature series stubby front bumper because it has a more recessed winch mount location, I believe. I would really like to pull the trigger soon, but want to see if there might be another option before I do.
I’m not 100% sold on the LOD Signature, still, though - I’d like a slightly more aggressive bull bar like what’s on the DV8 FS-15 or even Artec Industries Nighthawk.
I’m curious if anyone has any other ideas to consider or look at.
1. Stubby
2. Recessed winch mount
3. OEM LED fog compatible
4. No light bars/slots for light bars that will look funny without light bars in them
5. Moderately aggressive bull bar (single hoop but mid-grill up to the top of the hood)
For reference, other options I’ve considered are:
•DV8 FS-15 (no recessed winch mount, supposed install options with JL)
•Poison Spyder Crawler - no recessed winch mount, bull bar may be a bit low for my taste
•Artec Industries Nighthawk - really like this, but no recessed winch mount (and wish it was painted already for the price
•GenRight - no fog holes (plus, not sure if I HAVE to have aluminum, in which case the cost may not be worth it)
•Warn Elite Stubby - no spots for fogs
I’m sure there are more I had considered, but I can’t remember them all - really it’s down to the LOD Signature, Poison Spyder, DV8 FS-18, and Artec... with the LOD leading because technically it ticks the boxes, but I’m a bit nervous that the bull bar won’t be aggressive enough for me.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
