CUCV shackles are cool, but the cutouts for them should be closer to the actual size. Sort of like the giant slots - they are OK for prototype, but embarrassing for the real install on a production bumper.

Prototype bumper for cucvs and civilian trucks.

Are you embarrassed for the bumper? It's a prototype, the holes were cut wrong and has been corrected.

Couple things:
For civilian - would it be available without d-ring holes?
For the holes for the 6” lights - can the size and shape of those holes be adjusted (for a fee i would assume). For example if wanted a 4” circle or 2”x2” square?
Will a ‘matching’ rear bumper be in the works?
Good looking bumper, great to see. will be watching as a potential customer when they are ready.

The civilian bumper will not have the holes for cucv shackles.
I'm sure the light holes can be modified.
A matching rear bumper will be in the works next spring.
The grill guard makes it hard to sit all the way up, but we are looking into a solution
Here is a update, we are close to having the production bumper ready, more pics soon 
I like it. I've been following the progress on Instagram.
It keeps close to the lines of a stock bumper, which I really like.

3/4 ton status
Was it in 3 pieces before? I’m guessing that’s for shipping purposes.
Shipping is easier when it is in three pieces.
when i built mine, ended up putting a radius on the inside of the corner, and shortening how much material extended rearward.
If people had bene offering bumpers like this, I probably could have avoided building one by hand!
i like that it will accept the brush guard maybe they need to come up with a kit for people that don't have factory CUCV shackle mounts? either something to bolt or weld in to the back of the cut out that will accept a shackle, or some kind of plug?
The civvy versions won't have the shackle mount holes, or you can put lights there.
Good idea
this actually sparked an idea for a bad ass rear bumper... I could order this kit, and assemble it with the center section inside out???
then all I need to do is design and fab a strong fold down step that fits into the center section, and attach my license plate to it in the folded up position???
The bumper is in production
