Nice clean design (and the modular aspect looks well thought-out). Any plans to offer wider side-extensions for those who have to have them for local regulations?
We'll have a wider version to hold the fog lights, but we don't have any plans for a full-width version.

To make it a "full" bumper, you will need to add $100 for the end caps. Since we are working on a version for the OE fog lights, they're setup as an option.

With our costs rising nearly daily, there's a 100% chance we'll raise the prices within a year.

Thanks!
Too bad. Understandable though. I don't blame you guys.

I know most companies the initial sale price is never the final sale price.

Actually just made my own DIY bumper out of aluminum, and been wanting to upgrade to something that I can fit the winch in between those two frame posts like you guys have on yours, I just don't have that kind of money right now. 😥

If you ever want to give one away to someone who will torture test it for you, let me know. I'm more than happy to beat the crap out of it for you guys!! 😎:like:

Happy medium sounds like a good way to go. Grabbing my popcorn in anticipation of the new "modules".

If I recall, the Badlands was smaller than the WARN. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone using the Badlands with this bumper yet.
The badlands is actually slightly larger than the warn in at least the front to back dimension and I believe most dimensions. I had an issue with an early Next Venture front bumper where the gussets wouldnt clear the Badlands but did the Warns just fine. I ended up having to clearance it out to fit.

In theory looks like it should be ok although the only measurement missing on the Warn is the depth.

Hopefully they can give you a depth measurement of what will fit and you should be good. I ended up having to clearance like a 1x.5" notch into the gussets. Since then NV have modified how they do it cause of my issues actally lol

It's also possible the slope is different so while the edge of the Warn would fit fine maybe the Badlands would not. These measurements are just total height which I guess doesn't tell us anything either.

Maybe I have to wait until I can buy a Warn winch and the bumper. 🤣 My Badlands winch has give me nothing but trouble since I bought it.

I mean with your track record will the Warn be problem free either?

Right? When I was working on the t-case this weekend my neighbor across the street saw me and said "Jeep broken again?". So yeah, this Jeep has a neighborhood reputation.

That's completely understandable.

I just spent about $150 making my own aluminum front bumper out of a rather large, very thick aluminum angle.

However I ran into the issue where my winch isn't really where I want it to be. I love it to be between those two frame posts like yours designs for it to be. I just don't have $300 to be spending on that right now. My wife would divorce me. As it is I just spent $200 on larger louder horns for my Jeep.

If you guys need someone to torture test one of these for you, I would be more than happy to destroy it for you!! :handsinair:

I won't charge you if you don't charge me! ;)
