Indeed. I’ll admit, I particularly like how the others mount behind the bumper and curve around, just looks sleek, but this is t a terrible compromise. Where can one source one of these?
They (lm1) sell one like that too, ridiculously priced, of course, but I like the tubular option. My biggest hesitation is the size. I’m not certain I can mount 4 6-in lights side by side in their provided mount holes. I’d like to see one like DV8’s with mounts like these! For that.. I’d pay...
I’m with you… I do like that it’s the only “real” capable bumper compatible bar, as in, uses existing attachment points rather than calling it compatible but requiring drilling… but that price…
That old Nacho bar that sticker fab once carried and everything, it was a real rodeo tracking it down, but I found the makers, or whoever ended up with the rights after a couple of partnership splits, anyway, it’s LM1 MetalWorks (LetsRollOffroad) and it’s for sale still ($400 for the powder...
I like what you did. Especially that it retains the utility of the tow loops. I’m not 100% against drilling into the capable bumper. I just think it’s lame to market it to the capable bumper community and unnecessary, especially seeing some of the previously mentioned available bars...
DV8 just came out with this “Factory Capable Front Bumper Bull Bar” for $189.99
still requires drilling into the capable bumper itself, so I’m not not quite sure how it’s different from anything else you can bolt on that’s made for the modular, it hey, they thought about us! lol.
anyone else...
I was curious about that myself, kind of bizarre, as long as its available through a third party.. found it on stickerfab too after finding out it was a thing and searching specifically for it, of course they’re out of stock.
Also found this today, honestly, I might spring for it, tired of waiting and this is right up the alley for what I’ve been looking for! Not the most aesthetic, but I can mount some KC lights!
Honestly, if you simply came up with an conversion kit to mount the Rough Country Nudge Bar behind/using the bolt holes for the integrated tow hooks on the capable bumper, I’d bet there’d be a huge market!
