Aftermarket Bumpers - weight difference
I understand a lot of people choose an Aluminum aftermarket bumper because it is lighter than steel. I’m trying to decide between a Ute and a BuckStop. Does anyone know the weight difference between the two?

A Reunel weighs a LOT-- like 300# without the winch.
Aluminum is great because you have the strength without the weight, and you never have to worry about rust...

According to the box it came in, the winch weighs in at #130 lbs.
So, DOR Bumper and Warn 12000 would be right around #260 lbs, still less then the Reunel by itself.
