I agree it doesn’t compliment the front of that truck very well. Big in wrong places etc, try buckstop.com in the future. Get it bare and have it zinc and powdered locally is my suggestion.
Buckstop...I'll have a look-see

I went with this because there was a good lead time for everything else. I recall looking at Buckstop but didn't like the steel tread pattern of the sheet stock.

I know the one I want, but it had a 6-8 week lead time and was twice the cost

So what did I learn? You do not settle, but wait for what you really want. Now the bumper I cost will cost me $4500 considering what I paid for this monstrosity.

Did I mention I am just sick about this decision???

The plastic air direction on the underside of your roof top unit is super nice compared to the older units with 1” foam for air flow direction

It is high clearance and sems to be well designed.
I have read that these new Dometic heat pump units are a departure from the older AC units that were noisy and vibrated. Sure enough, it is quieter, although you can still hear it. More like a humm than that whirling fan motor sound I was used to in my other camper.
And
It has a selection for HEAT!

I'm sick to my stomach over installing this bumper onto my cool truck. What a mess...

I'll have to take it off and bolt on something that doesn't make me feel like I just voted for Joe Biden.

oh, the misery...

The boys and I are off on our guys trip to Florida. My brother's kid is graduating from high school in Clearwater. My nephew decided to come along. Had a little accident hooking up the trailer. The jaws appeared to be latched so I went ahead and ran the jacks up before I did the tug test. They were not latched. Ripped the plug out, smashed the cord and destroyed the spar tire carrier. A couple hours later we were on the road. Got really lucky there wasn't more damage.

Should have plenty of room to mount a winch under that behemoth

Sensors tell you you really hit things!

I agree, butt ugly, sticks out too far and looks like you lost a lot of attack angle (but this is not for rock climbing?).

Time to break out the CAD design.
