It's a total waste of the OEM bumper and it looks silly to cut through those design cues. I understand that at the end of the day it's about functionality but it just seems lazy. 4x4labs and Pelfrey are the only ones who have truly gotten the look right in my book.

You hit it right on the head as to why I don't like the design of bumpers similar to Pefreybuilt. If you are out there pushing it with one of their bumpers and have a similar experience, Id bet your headlights would be cracked or destroyed. I think this is often overlooked.

I just came to the 4Runner (17) from an FJ (13) and the cruiser forums. I also think it's kinda ridiculous companies are not coming up with filler plate solutions, 1500-2k plus for a bumper with lights and you want me to cut my OEM bumper cover to make it work. I was 100% going with Demello (local) until I did my research and saw the pictures on the web included a filler plate not offered. I'm sure when companies do offer filler plates they will charge some exorbitant amount. I love my Runner but the FJ had more reasonable off-road accessory options. It seems lazy and shows a lack of injunuity.
I'm aware the whole design is more complicated but at the rate we buy these custom parts I expected more.
Rant over.

I don't get the fear of cutting some plastic, or how the designers somehow quite.
It's a winch bumper...if you like your front plastic then leave it....or look for other options that preserve the look.
The main reason I like the new Summit bumper (which is what the thread is about) is how they conceal the bottom half of the truck...most bumpers leave a whole bunch of mechanical showing below the front...looks incomplete that way.

Nope, but they got the filler right at least. Back on topic though, the more that
@ mAtTyGlaz
shows off the functionality of this design, the better I like it. Like
@ Titanpat57
said, the lower coverage is really nice. That grille access to the winch looks really thoughtful too. Whew, that weight tho.

Running King 2.5 coilovers with 700# coils. It's heavy. Definitely upgrade suspension with this bumper

Did what? The door? If you're reffering to the access door that is a part of the ARB bumper...

Just got my ARB summit bar installed today with warn zeon 10-S and IPF lights. Installed OME heavy springs up front. Seems like I sag more now even with heavy springs than I did with stock springs and a hidden winch.

Just wait. In my experience, the OME's sagged pretty badly
