Thoughts on this new low profile? Price is decent and it blends in pretty well with the OEM look.

Great if your only goal is to mount a winch, which you'd want an extension for the remote and potentially a custom rod to use under the hood (or cut the grill, which I wouldn't do for aesthetic) to access the clutch lever.

These bumpers just provide minimal protection, and once you see what's behind the grill and plastic (or better said, what isn't behind them), you'll be very shocked. It is astronomically expensive to replace any front end cosmetic component, which is the most surprising part of all for this 250-series as it was built to be modular.

Australian bull bars, like the one I installed from Ironman, have a massive steel bash plate that protects the radiator and core support, overlapping the FE skid plate. Meaning, there is no way to damage it, as the bumper is connected directly to the frame. These Aussie bumpers also have crumple zones and are crash test safety rated.

So just some thoughts on why you may want to look into ARB or another company that provides substantial front end protection.

I love the look of this bumper but hard to believe the radiator is getting proper air flow.

I have this bumper, been running it for several thousand miles. It has more radiator airflow than virtually any other bull bar, which is why I purchased it. 400-miles off road, most of that in low-range.
