I do like that bumper. I am wondering how it effects (or is it affects) the approach angle; apparently not too badly if you did the 21 inch vertical step. Do you have a lift or bigger tires?
What is the difference between effects and affects? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The bumper is designed to maintain the stock approach angle. Yes I have 37" tires with no lift. 37's fit perfect.

There's a reason that little white one is tucked way in the back behind the others.
I love the Rovers. I'm a former D90 guy myself. I gotta be honest though, overall, there is no comparison to the H2. I know the smaller specialized vehicles do certain things better but there isn't any other vehicle I'd own right now. The H2 had most all of the attributes I liked about my Defender with way more creature comforts, reliabilty, towing cabability, passenger/cargo room.
I'll probably own another D90 someday though as a Sunday driver. They're a great investment because there are barely 5000 total in the US.
I'm ready for an H2 that can do this though-
(this is before he added more lift, 35s, an extended drive shaft and extended brake lines.)

The bumper is about 125lbs. I'll have to weigh this finished product to be accurate though.

Why would we want to compete with a 10 gauge bumper when ours is mostly 1/4" with very sturdy 3/16" wings? Ours holds a 12K winch vs. their 9500 pounder. Apples & oranges. You'll see.

No winch yet. (Yeah I know)
Yes, just a lanyard to secure the T pin that holds the grill guard in the upright position.

Wow, there are some smart fellers here. Those were the best explanations I’ve heard yet. Thank you. I had been wondering about it for some time.
Reading this thread has affected my views about a winch bumper. The effect is that I may seriously consider installing one. How was that? Oh, and when it’s time to replace the tires… 37’s.

How much does it weigh with the winch?

I just got all this completed last week. So far I really like the combo. It has a nice proportional look and has certainly changed up the front end. Something about it just makes me smile.
Anyway, comments are welcome, compliments are appreciated and vicious malign attacks are expected.
Thanks again to Cinci for everything!
If you can't keep it on your H2, keep it in the forum.

So, Drty,
The more I see it, the more I want it. When do you think I can get one (and of course, how much)?

WOW DRTY that is a nice job. Even if I am a Mall Queen driver I would pick that bumper over a whole lot of other bumpers for an off road rig. That sucker looks sharp.
Well when the value of the H2's go in the dumper I'll buy My second H2 to use to make an off roader with and I would be happy to have that setup. If I have a Mall Queen and a
Dirt Queen would that raise Me up a little on the scab scale? 
Good Job!!

Aw, that's cute Dirty. Its like a little bumperette.
I liked it from the begining. The design is simple and functional so I guess it all comes down to the price point. If you can compete with the Warn, you've got a winner.
Do you just hack out the middle section of the existing bumper or does it come completely assembled (with a core exchange)?
Congrats on getting it out to market. I'm sure the R & D on something like this was a real bear. I hope it sells like hotcakes. How are you going to brand it? DrtyFAB?
