While I appreciate the "down-to-basics" approach, I am VERY dissapointed with these new bumpers. I've been waiting since February for them to come out with their new bumpers, and drooled over the pic they've had posted on their web site which looked exactly like what I needed/wanted.
I was looking for a bumper that can handle the Warn "PowerMonster" winch, and mount it down between the rails, one that utilizes the factory fog lights, and one with a light bar or at least a set of tabs for more lights.
The picture on their site looked great, but the final product is disappointing and doesn't meet my needs at all. Why the bait and switch?!
I guess I'll have to go with the overpriced AEV bumper, and hide an air compressor anywhere I can squeeze it. Are there any other manufacture's that haven't come out with a bumper, but have one in the works that I don't know about??
With the new Magnaflow muffler under the driver's side, I'm eager to mount a nice air tank where the old muffler went (perhaps a 2.5gallon). That way if I puncture it while wheeling, the blast will help boost me over the very rock I hung on. (yes, that is a joke...)

No bat and switch. The press release for the full width will be he're soon. We've already started production, and we're just working out the bugs in assembly process...

Ya thats it. It looks better in person IMO.....
price with hoop, SD text black powder coat, light ports, & recover shackle mounts will be $899.95.
Time frame before shipping is estimated at 3-4 week from today, but it probobly won't be release in full on the forum with pics for a few more days. We're trying to get our deliver date at 3 weeks before we release it. We have no idea of what the demand will be and were hopeing we will have no problem filling it.

We may have promotional additions such as free shipping on superwinch Epi9000, and group discount for the addition of a Rubi skid...
We'll have to see how everything goes...
and yes, all our front bumpers come with the winchmount integrated into the bumper....

any thought on a bumper like this shorty but with no winch and holes for factory fogs? possibly a front reciever in between. that would be perfect for my needs. Or how about one just a wee bit wider that holds the factory fogs outside the frame rails? Just brainstorming. seems it would be easy enough to offer that option too. I love your shorty bumper all utility. form follows function.
Please make a version no winch w/ factory fogs. Your bumper is cheap enough if and when I get a winch I would just get a new bumper too.
Think about it.

If you are still working out a full size bumper, and it will look even remotely like the one in your avatar, I will wait as long as it takes. I must have misunderstood you, I thought you were only making those basic bumpers, didn't know others were still in the works, my apology.
You state it will have the ability to incorperate a Warn winch, can you tell me if that includes the Powerhouse winch with built-in air compressor, and will it mount the winch BETWEEN the frame rails, and not above like Warn's bumper which impedes air-flow to the radiator?? Please say yes, and you will have a friend for life.

I like it! I would suggest some end caps! Nothing frilly, just a plate cut to hide all the crap from the side. Something real industrial looking like the front and just bolted to the sides I think would look good!
Oh, and you can call them your Rubimon Side Plates!
