Never seen one like that before, should look great. Nice find, I'm with the other guy.. make it a complete unit utilizing your pushbar/light guard if possible. Oh and personally I don't think it'd look right painted body colour, but that's just me.

The bumper weighs roughly around 130 pounds.

It is a Manik brush guard and came on the truck. It is the strongest brush guard i have ever seen. It wraps around the frame.

JR: that's awesome to have a nice Pre by me. All i ever see around here are beat up work trucks with cement and paint all over them. The spot i took those is the pond where Markham Woods dead ends at Markham Road. Let me know if you ever want to do a photoshoot together. Know of any other nice Pre's around us?

I dont like how it angles down at the ends. I think it would look better if it mounted flush with all the way across.
