Pics of YOATS w/Badland Baja or Basher Bumpers. Post 'em up!
Hey Guys,
Thanks for takin' a look. Through searching some posts, I have learned about Badland Bumpers and its owner, Jeff. I recently emailed him and am beginning to discuss getting one of his bumpers. Could you please help me?
If anyone is sporting a Badland Basher or Baja front bumper could you please post pics for me. I'd appreciate head on, 45* and 90* side pics off both drivers and passenger front fenders, and view point from the cab. I know it's asking a lot but I want to make the right choice. I am leaning towards the Baja, because it's easier to sport off-road lights around the top of the baja bars.
Also, what have your experiences with Badland been like? I really liked Jeff's first email response as it was very honest and candid; seeming that he wants to deliver exactly what I want; keeping me advised of pros/cons and limitations. Great 1st impression.
We are discussing some customization so the bumper will hold an Warn M12000. Yes, I said M12000. No mud hole will hold me...that's my story and no MUD will stick it to me!
Any help you could offer whould be cool!
Thanks!

...okay guys, thanks...I seem to have brought some confusion in on my post. Badland Bumpers have three different style bumpers, Basher, Baja and Tube. Basher and Baja are sister models of the base version. Tube's are the classic Pre-Runner styling.
The following is an example, from Badlands' web site of their Baja:

Badlands' produces several different versions of Bashers & Basher Baja's. It was the Baja variation that I am really interested in getting. Check the link below to look at the six (6) different variations. I am leaning towards the upper left Baja, with the middle left Basher a close second.

It is trucks with those units that I am targetting for pictures.
Hope this helps. I definitely do not want to go pre-runner style. Too many on-road maniacs here in the Commonwealth. Need all the on-road protection I can get!
Thanks!
