BDO front bumper for JK? (Big Daddy Offroad)
I was looking at bumper options and saw this one that I hadn't seen before...
Anyone seen these in person? How's the build quality? Got any pics of it mounted to a vehicle?

I just seen one in R&D at 4wd the other day, the finish and quality look good. it was'nt on a jeep. I'm not sure why one needs a reciever on the front, but it looks good anyhow

They're great for pushing your boat down a crowded boat ramp. Great place to mount the front license plate. It kinda disguises the winch. Ummmmm it seemed like a good idea at the time?

Okay, if I replace it, my new one won't have one.

I dont have one on my jk but do on my tj, it is nice having a reciever on front if you need to use your winch to load a broke rig on a trailer. (i don't have a winch permantly mounted on my car hauler)

I kind of like the idea of it, and not only for pushing trailers into tight places. The few times I have been involved in towing a disabled vehicle out of the backcountry, it would be nice to have. A tow point at the middle of the bumper pulls straight vs. at an odd angle on a single corner shackle. I have on one occasion set up a bridle on both corner shackles to equalize the direction of pull, but it does not work as smooth at a single center pull (when using soft floppy straps or chains).
I think it might look odd, simply because we don't see it that often, but I certainly respect the utility of it. I have never used a winch line for towing procedures, and while it might work in a pinch, I would prefer more stretch in a towing line.

Had one on my TJ and used it to mount a rack full of gear or surf rods. With the dog in the backseat and the bikes on the back receiver, it was nice to have a place to carry the rest of the stuff...
