Chassis unlimited bumpers

[Mastiff]

Anyone have one or seen one in person? Appears similar to ORD (maybe less heavy duty based on weight ?) but free shipping and comes powder coated. I asked ORD by email if they could coat, but haven't heard back yet.

Any other similar versions/manufacturers people would recommend?

Doesn't surprise me. CU is located in that area.
But also there is another member that bought one of their bumpers a year or two ago.

if you aren't sold on the tube styles and since you are in Arizona, I'd look at Protofab4x4. I have seen some of their Bronco stuff and it's pretty nice. I talked to them 5-7 years ago about making one for my Jimmiy and they said they could but never had at the time. I ended up going with a Craigslist Warn.

Maybe, they'll prototype one for you at a discount???

I too have been having a hard time deciding between CU and ORD's Bumpers. The biggest/only complaint I have about the CU Bumper is that it looks low to me, almost the way the truck would look with a body lift.

Well, the ORD weighs 125# and the CU weighs 75#. I don't want weight for weight, but this probably implies stouter construction. And yeah, I think the CU one has the winch buried between the frame rails somehow, which might be a feature, but also might just be an install and maintenance PITA.

The ORD one is uncoated though and will be significant $$ to ship to a residence. I haven't gotten an exact quote from them on shipping yet.

Any other contenders in the hybrid tube bumper area?
