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?

That's definitely something we can look into if there's enough demand for it! We're actually thinking of making some end caps that can house the factory fog lights. I'd love to get people's feedback on that.

I see many Jeeps with the stock steel bumper mounted with a winch. I think it would be a good idea if some company made replacement wings for the stock steel bumper. It would provide a different look than stock and not cost as much or require the labor involved to mount a whole new winch.

100% on factory fog light caps! If the design was similar to Metalcloaks that would be a sweet spot between super short bumper and a little wider.

Would there be any issues bolting up the Badlands Apex winch? The pics all have the Warn winch.

Being able to have factory (size/style) fogs would be nice. Having it be "like factory but better" is kind of the look I'm (personally) looking for.

$300 is a pretty damn good price.

I'm hoping you guys don't have any plans of increasing that price anytime in the next year?

Any plans for a bull bar? I want to replace my current bumper but I do like the bull bar and the fogs. The only other thing I'm looking for in a bumper is a way to mount my compressor air line. It's currently mounted under my license plate. I'm wondering if I could use one of your pre-made holes on the end caps for mounting it.

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!

Yes, I have drawn up a few bar-type attachments, but I haven't been happy with the aesthetics of those yet. Definitely on the list, though.

Mounting the coupler should be pretty easy, even if we had to make some additional bracket or tab.

If I recall, the Badlands was smaller than the WARN. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone using the Badlands with this bumper yet.
