Ya that looks fantastic! I am definitely set on getting one of those bumpers.
As another poster mentioned above, I am on the fence between steel or aluminum.

Very nice!!!!
I just hit a animal and took out the front bumper cover on my 2020 with less than 1500mi.
I was hoping to do a winch upgrade.
Looked at full bumpers, don't care for the look.
I still have to replace the bumper cover and other parts, so hitting the animal didn't help with putting a winch on.
It'll have to wait.

I can on my SSO bumper. You do have to remove the radiator cover, which is like 6 of those crappy pop-in clips. I'll actually be attempting to reconnect the end of my winch line tonight without removing the bumper cover, we'll see how that goes.
I do have long arms though.

In regards to your Blue Sea switch it looks like you have rocker buttons from 2 different models. Did it come with both or did you buy an extra? Also Great job on the mounting plate you made for it.

One switch is for the dual batteries and the other the winch...

I love my setup but my warn vr12 fit with more then enough room to operate
I’m so glad I went aluminum and rigid light bar but mine is in the rigid metal grille I installed at the same time now I’m hope someone starts to make a similar setup for the rear bumper I like the stock look of the rear but want it in aluminum

That's exactly what finally pushed me over the edge on this too. We slid off the road on black ice on 88 last year and had to wait for CHP to pull us out of a ditch.

could you have installed the blitz bumper without removing the factory bumper?

All of these bumpers require removal of the OEM bumper for removing the OEM crash beam. Removing the stock bumper takes 20-30min and isnt too bad. Cutting the hole for the hybrid winch bumpers is the delicate/hard part.
