-the front bumper was built by someone else and needs a few more angles IMO and dont know about the weigh on it.
-the rear one should be reasonably light due to the 1/8" material. (i kept weight in ming) and I dont think it will be much (if any) heavier than that of the TrailTough bumper on the front.
-I think I am going to build a matching one for the front some day so I can "tuck" it up allot closer to the body with a better approach angle that the low slung current TrailTough one. I just have to keep good intercooler flow.
I have too much overhang on my front bumper, it didn't bend on the rocks, but kept my tires off them. For rock crawling approach angle (or descent angle) is everything.
Jluck is right, Keep It Close To The Body.
