Thanks for the info. I knew it might of taken a few weeks,but it's just aggravating when there's no feedback from a company. But all in all,I know I'm gonna be very happy with the armor lite. Can't wait to install it.

RC Hybrid. Lightweight, strong and under 40 lbs. My front set-up should only be about 100 lbs including winch. You can find the bumper for $229 which includes end caps for fogs.

Only 475?! I payed around 700 for my armor lite stubby with bar and skid from them.

Btw I am still waiting on the bar and I ordered over a month ago, the bumper however was the last one they had. And you will be very happy.

Anyone mount the RC Hybrid on a 2012 or 2013? Look like you need to move the brake pump to have it fit. How hard was this? The instructions are not up on RC's site.

RR xhd aluminum. Pretty pricey but very light and nice looking in my opinion. D-ring brackets are steel so sturdy.

Finally, someone who has the xhd aluminum bumper. How are they? Do they feel sturdy and was it easy to install?
