Default Push Bumper Installed..Yay or Nay? Pic Heavy

Looking for opinions. Just installed my new Go Industries Quad Guard Push Bumper. PITA install because directions were literally 3 sentences with no pictures. Anyway it's on and solid as a rock. Just not sure now if I am in love with it or not. Gives it a beefier look but not sure if it flows or not. Good or bad I wanna hear it. Thanks

Looks like somethings missing. The upside is it looks much more functional than any other I have seen.

Yeah it is just not very tall like most which gives it a different look.

meh. not a huge fan. not great, not terrible. personally i like my ranch hand.

the question is practicality. are you going to actually use it as a push bumper? why not go for a brushguard that can act as a push bumper when needed and get more use out of it?

That bumper would look a lot better with your girl standing in front of it... It is unique though,

I am kind of the same opinion...but...I also like a minimalistic look on a lot of things. I think if these were scaled down (read not stick out so far) they could maybe work for me. In some pics they actually look OK but a couple of pics from the side they look a bit large.

I guess "the jury is still out" for me.

Default Looks "massive"

Looks good since your truck has the rugged look.

It would add several inches to my screw, then it
Will not go in my garage. Does it have rubber on the uprights?

Thx

It is a push bumper not a brush guard. I will never need a brush guard bc won't be cruising through woods. I bought this more for the look but also functional if I tapped a car from behind or something my front end wouldn't be as damaged. But now that it is on I can go either way with it. Makes it look bulkier than it should I think.
