Proline western bumpers

How are you guys mounting these? Are they only custom brackets?

I searched and could only find custom made.

Also will the honcho crossmembers with the holes work?

You can make them fit the Honcho crossmembers with some mods, I used some angle aluminum to mount mine. I ran them for about two days before I broke them off of the truck. I didn't like them because they are kinda Narrow for the Honcho body.

They look cool and all, but they'll kill your approach/departure angles and the D rings will snap like twigs. Just my experience, yours may vary ;-).

Just looking at badgers custom bracket. Sure you lose a bit of clearance but very little, and most bumpers do.
And this won't be for comp. crawling.

Looks easy enough. Was just wondering if there's a part I was missing that the post could just like right into.

I'm not sure what I'll do about the back. Unless I trim the body and lower it, the gap is way to big.

Body

I also want to cover up the holes that I needed to cut for my tmaxx.

That is a sweet body, you do nice paint work. IMO though you need to lower the body a good bit, I am not a fan of seeing a gap above the frame rail when viewed from the side. I wouldn't think it would take too much wheelwell trimming to get that body to sit about an inch lower, and still have room for flex.

Thanks. It is high, only because the corners touch under flex, and if I trim, it might not look as good since the wheelwells have curved edges.
