Again, this bumper fits my needs. It may not fit yours.
It's got the radiator hoop, winch guard, 2 pull-tabs, and it's fully boxed. Also
it mounts with 10 bolts. Solid.
Pics are poor quality, but their website shows it well.
I was hoping someone would post this bumper. I've had my eye on it for a while. Just trying to decide between the stinger or winch guard... oh and saving the cash!

It just seems like a really solid bumper from the pics, and has good selection of add-ons.

Looks just like the Rokmen Mercenary GT that I want. How much did you pay for your Hellbent bumper?

My bumper from www.hell-bentfabrication.com was $ 570.51 (shipping included)
Also, Aaron added light tabs specific to my 6" IPF bumper lights. He asked the bolt size, and the
style of light to ensure this bumper would simply bolt-on with no modifications. He was right.
All I had to do was paint the bumper, and bolt it on. My lights dropped right into the tabs, and fit
perfectly.
I'm very happy with it.

On the A to Z Fab bumper I guess you need a winch plate for a stock sway bar set-up , is it the same on the Rokmen Mercenary for those of you that know?

So I made the plunge, I went with the Rokmen with a Winch guard and picked up a Steering Box Skid while I was at it, not only is it a sweet looking bumper but they seem very passionate about there work. One of the guys answered the phone on a late Saturday afternoon and answered every question I had! Thats great customer service! I highly recommend them, I'll let everyone know how it looks, better yet I'll take pics!

Got my Rokmen Mercenary today, I'll paint it tonight and have it on tomorrow, I'll take some pics, the fab work on it is top-notch, haven't seen any better by any other brand out there.

It took about a week to get, it all depends on when you order, they aren't a huge operation so they rotate building the different products they make, when I ordered the Rocker guard they weren't close to making them so its been a couple weeks process, I'll have them mid next week.

This is the bolt on fairlead mount, which is just a little harder to mount the winch with than a welded fairlead mount, but nothing difficult
