This is a completely different design. Only thing the same is the winch mount itself.

I like it. I'd be really interested depending on price. I've been wanting to get away from the bulky ARB these days. Wouldn't hurt for a new look anyways. Only thing is I'd need it to accommodate my 2" body lift. I'm not too big on the idea for using the factory blinkers in a cutout. They never seem to sit flush b/c of their shape. Something like a flush mount would work better, like ARB does. Also, like others said kind of would like shackle mounts on the bumper.
Can you add/remove the winch without removing the bumper after it's been installed? Looks like all you would have to do is remove the grill.
Really would like to see this on a 4Runner.

I agree with both parts of this. I'd rather it came with something like a flush mount LED truck/trailer turn signal.

I will try to answer all the questions in time as we work with the design a little more. We got it painted up and will be installing it with an 8000lbs winch in the AM.
what do you not like about the ARB?
I was just about to order one but was waiting to see how this federal government shutdown, sequester, furloughs and the debt ceiling negotiations play out in the next few weeks/months...
and now Scotty @ Addicted Offroad may be offering a game changer as well, depending on price point...

Heck yea I would buy it, and I will once it is in full production!
It looks AWESOME, but what I love more is that you can SEE the winch. Most plate bumpers on the market hide the winch, and when I am on the trail it really sucks not being able to see how the rope is spooling onto the drum. It is dangerous actually.

I like it. Cutouts for factory style blinkers would be awesome in my opinion. I'd like to see fog options and full hoop option too. The fact the the winch is open is really nice and that would make it my bumper of choice. I'd buy one if they were made available, especially at 70lbs! Wow! I'd be curious if any frame mods/cutting/ welding were involved for install.

I actually love that look. It looks lighter and cleaner. The ARB bumpers are too bulky looking IMO. I love how the opening to the grill is large like that.

That and the fact that with an open style bumper we're not limited to specific winches. Reason why I'm really liking this bumper.

I LIKE!
Definitely interested. I like how the stinger isnt incredibly large, and the cradle for the winch seems to be high up out of the way. I also dig how low profile the sides of the bumper is, doesnt look massive like other brands.
I would like to see how this would look on our 4runners first however, just to see how it would cover the front end. I only say this because the pics you provide are on a SAS so on our IFS trucks, there would be a lot more clutter to see.
I hope my ass doesnt get raped on shipping to hawaii either.....

A few things I like a lot:
weight
approach angle
open view winch
reinforcement tubes to the hoop
Lets get this into production with a group buy!
