Looks cool, but utter pain in the dick if you need to remove the grill for some reason or another

My thought, with the complexity of it, I hope the final finish is well applied, otherwise a corrosion nightmare.

I had that issue with a Nissan bumper grill guard years ago, rusted after the first winter.

it looks like the top, grill guard is removable.

I like it. Good for plowing through a field of feral hogs

FYI, Hooke caters to the mall crawl crowd and makes cost conscious products that are for aesthetic purposes only. I wouldn't count on that bumper to do anything more then stop a snow flake.

THe Tube hoops are .06" thick or 1.5mm, which is tent pole thick. 3mm is roughly 1/8" thick and should be used for the tubes on this bumper.

for the record they sell a rock rail to give you that rugged look but it is only made of sheet metal thick metal so the first rock it sees it will bend in fear. I suspect the Bumper isn't much different.
