Great looking bumper but I noticed it does stick out more. Is there room enough to chop off a few inches of crush can and weld the mount plates back a bit furthur or are there spacers you can remove to bring the bumper back a bit more? I like how you chopped off the bash bar, I will be doing the same and using a skid to flatten it up a bit.

Hanson makes very good well thought out products. There are no spacers to take out, however this bumper does not stick out any farther than most aftermarket bumpers. It is just a minimalist bumper and I think it makes the illusion that it sticks out farther. I am sure you could put a license plate between the fog lights if you wanted to.

ctimrun,
Very nice looking rig!
Do you know why most of the aftermarket bumpers leave such a gap between the bumper and grill and leave so much frame exposed? I tried a PureJeep, and it was the same way. I didn't like being able to see through the huge gap to the ground. I'm guessing it's so you have space in case of a crash, but then some other bumpers like the HighRock practically touch the grill. I'm really picky I guess, but I suppose I could get used to the gap.

That is far out,that is what I'm looking for, something short with the bush bar
I like that one or the fab four,but thats a little pricey,the shop here what's 2,000can I laughed.A month later it was down to 1,500 and still no one paid that much.
Was that a good deal,I'm going to check it out,thanks for the pics
