That looks nice, then again the top one looks exactly like the one I had Outdoorlogic make for me and helped design so kinda partial. Here is a link to the drawing of my Outdoorlogic bumper from my build. Yes I know there are not to many ways you can do a plate bumper without it looking to much like someone elses but the top looks like they used the same drawing.
Tha being said because the top is an identical copy I would be more interested in seeing either the second or third picture be built and offered to the 3rd gen community. This will give your fab shop a bumper that would put him as a different unique style that is more marketable than just a clone of other plate bumpers. Will also provide the 3rd gen community another great looking option in a bumper.

2nd one looks better, and if normal lights don't fit in the gap below the hoop, a small LED light bar would look pretty slick in there:thumb3:

O really love the 2nd and 3rd one. You gotta mount an led or something behind the trd cutout too.

I say go for the second one, then let me know where you had it built. You're not too far from me, I'd definitely drive down there for one of those.

2nd one or just buy from outdoor logic in the first place, hahah j/k keep on with yo bad self.....
that said, i think people forget the most important part of these bumper is the cross bracing behind all of the cool stuff, make it robust, make it stout.

Ah! I didn't know that. I'm not too experienced offroad and try to stay out of situations I need to lift my truck =). Right now I can only lift it via tree strap around the wheel, and receiver hitch.
I do have a Hilift mainly for winching, however I haven't figured out how to attach the chain to lower potion of the lift without buying the HIlift adaptors. I have the Extreme model so the top is no problem.. The rest of the stuff I have built (sections of chains, straps, d-rings, etc)
Off topic so if you have a cheap solution let me know by PM!

Jdub- I will not give dimensions of a product that is for sale by a friend and supporting vendor here on the site. I will tell you what I did when I had Outdoorlogic build my bumper. I took in pictures of bumpers I liked and then we made pen and ink changes to come up with what I wanted them to build. This way it was not a direct copy of someone elses design and became their(Outdoorlogics) own. If your friend really is a talented fabricator you should be able to show him pictures and then make cardboard templates before cutting steel that will dimension it on the truck.
I like seeing people building and designing their own and if it is a shop hopefully it is a new variation that can give them their own niche or corner in the marketplace. That is why I suggested option 2 or 3 to the OP of the thread. This will help the shop if they want to produce for sale and also our 3rd gen community by having another option.
