CBI plate bumper anybody?

[Dsr5drvr]

I was wondering if anybody is running this particular bumper? If so lets see some pictures. Im in the market but not for a while, still considering other manufacturers.
My impressions are it seems a little heavier than other companies plate bumpers and all the cut outs it features seems it should be lighter weight. Let me know what yall think.

CBI bumpers are awesome! I was also concerned about weight, but also wanted something that was tough… CBI's are a good balance of weight and strength. CBI's customer service is top-notch and Nathan is great to work with. I bought mine last summer, but haven't had a chance to install them yet. I ordered them in bare steel because I wasn't sure of how I wanted to finish them, but I've since decided on the look I'm going with and just need to pick a powder-coater.

You must have a crazy amount of patience... There's now way I could keep 1, much less 2, bumpers sitting in my shed for more than a day once they arrived.

Thanks guys Volcom440 your bumper looks as good if not better than I was hoping.

Doozi, man, I agree with Hearno, how have you waited so long to not install your front and rears!? Cant wait to see them installed especially the front. The prerunner bar or flat bumper is what Im leaning towards right now. I like the cut outs you opted for.

So the guys at CBI will custom the bumper anyway you like?

They have a few different options to choose from.

I know... believe me you guys, I know! I can't wait to get these bumpers on! Having a baby puts a lot of things on hold, but I'm not complaining... he's awesome!

CBI will basically do whatever you want for additional cost... when you deviate from the standard set-up, they have to charge for the extra time. For the front bumper, I had them reduce the height of the grill-guard and chose to have different cut-outs than the standard triangles. And for the rear bumper, I told them where I wanted the antenna mount, which side I wanted the swing-out to be hinged, etc. The little changes don't cost that much and it's definitely worth getting exactly what you want.

I think that I found the powder-coater that I'm going to use and hope to go pick a color next week!

Good to hear that they will customize the bumper further to your own preferences. I like that you had them reduce the height on the grill guard that should look really clean and not too obtrusive. As I've been searching the site I have actually identified quite a few CBI bumpers, Demello, Shrockworks, Relentless Fab(who actually was who I was going to order my bumper from for my tacoma when I had it)
