It weighs about 90lbs when packed in a box. Installed weight without the light bar would be around 80lbs. This could bring the front down slightly, depending on the winch you run but a set of 1/2" spacers are an easy fix if this does happen...

Here are a few pictures of our new full width bumper installed with stock fenders. This gives you guys an idea of how it will look with the winch, and low fog light mounts.
We'd like your feedback!

OK, seriously Steve I like it. I had noticed on the cad's that the "wings" approach the fenders closer than stock which will make the Jeep look better overal. I see the welds (tack welds 
) where the wings join the shorty. Couldn't talk you into cutting the wings off and welding endplates that can bolt together (ie detachable wings) could I? 
Can't blame me for trying.
I am really excited about the powder coated final look and can't wait to get one on my JK.
Thanks for the pics, awaiting more
Oh yeah, I especially like the wing height and fit, how low it rides (if I catch it on a rock shame on me), where the fogs are (? how hard would it be to put a brush gaurd over them?). Is the bumper test fitted with just two bolts to the frame? Surely the d-ring mounts bolt with four bolts right? Looks to me a little like a fab four which I originally wanted but when I saw it on an unlimited it was OVERWELMING! This is like Goldilocks.....just right.

We are working on a few different ideas for a tire carrier. When I get any information on what we might look at doing I will be sure to let you guys know.
Pygeum:
As for your question about the sway bar disconnect, our final few design changes actually brings the lower part of the bumper further down, and further back to give maximum coverage. Even at the most extreme approach angle's I do not think hitting your disconnect is going to be very easy.
What exactly are you referring to in respect tot he tow bar adaptation?

Man.... I have to tell you.... I like the previous design much more..
I don't like the new fog light location at all
... I also liked the previous thinner design I think it would have been easier to offer a skid plate for the disco's like most every other bumper does. Personally, I don't have an e-disco and I know that plenty of other owners don't either.
I say stick as close to the original as possible. That one that went to SEMA was a real winner!
