Not really my taste...
...plus it doesnt address better entry and exit angles as it doesnt give extra frontal ground clearnce.Quote:

I too like the 1st one, of course I am a bit partial to the JoeD style of bumper anyway. If it doesnt gain approach angle, I am not too terribly interested.

IMHO a bumper that completely replaces the front cladding and generally follows it's shape (without coming as low of course) would be best. Marlin wasn't Joe D looking at that kind of design? Obviously curved steel would be out of the question, but at least angling the plates to the general shape of the front would be better.
Just my $.02 as someone who will probably never buy one. ;)
