Show me your aftermarket front bumper!

[tomx]

I smashed up my Pro-Ride Extreme bumper at the end of last season. It's got a nice crack in it, probably pick a new one up at the sled show here in WA next month. What aftermarket bumper are you running? Likes? Dislikes? Pics?

No pix, but have loved my B&M Fab front bumper. Top notch quality, and has taken a beating, with no damage to the bumper or mounting locations.

I find all the trees somehow... Minor scuffing/scratching of powder coat, otherwise like new!

B&M

Here's a picture of the B&M Fabrication Exo Front Bumper on my Pro. Besides the great quality the guys at B&M are great to deal with.

Those b&m are ugly imo, not sure why they choose for them to come to a point when the front of the machine is flat, looks out of place to me.

I see B&M had changed the design. I have their first version, differebt from what others posted pix of.

The Van Amburg bumper has a single down tube design that doesn't catch and hold snow/ice like the dual tube and skid-plate style bumpers. Very strong and lightweight too!

Same one I have. No complaints here. It has a few beauty marks but has held up perfectly.

I agree that the VE and B&M bumpers are ugly with the single pointed bend. However, I do get that it may deflect the best and the stock bumper actually comes to a point too. Still ugly, though.

Has anyone ever thought of tagging onto the existing stock bumper? Just add to it, instead of replace completely....

Fire n Ice used to offer a kit like that

I will say that the fitment on my VEI aluminum front bumper was horrendous. The holes didn't line up, I had to bend the tabs apart to get them around the chassis mounts, and drill new holes to finally get it on. It will be replaced this year.

Who has the best deals on the skinz w/ bash plate front bumper?
I'm in the market, and just can't get past the looks of the BM or I'd be all over one of them.

I have the skinz and it's held up nicely so far....speaking of, I had to remove it to get some warranty work done, put the stock back and the dealer did too. I know it came with longer lower mounting bolts - grade 8. Anyone have a length handy for those? 1 1/4" or 1 3/8"? Seems the dealer ditched them during re-assembly and now it won't mount back up.
