Still haven’t picked a new one but buddy found this one tonight and I really like the looks of it. Anyone seen it in person or what’s your thoughts on it??

I bought some short- 18" braided, 30k lb rated straps I'll try just wrapped around the center bar swith a shackle above the winch for a tie back point.
I had a friend make some shackle mounts to bolt or weld on the front, but I also don't like the geometry or the thin material to weld to.
So while I'm thinking, the shorter strap with a shackle or snatch block off the center bars of the bumper will work fine.

I actually did the strap to the frame stiffener because I found straps cheap on eBay. It’s ridiculously strong and is like 5/8” thick. It has worked great as a recovery or hook point and I believe there is no chance of bending anything there. I’m not crazy about the strap I had to add to hold it up but the strap is so thick the winch hook is at awkward angle if I use it to hold strap up. This way I use the winch to help friends with no issues but if I get stuck I use the strap and just unhook the bungee. I still want a new bumper and trying to decide if going back with same factory LE brush guard or aftermarket. I can’t find the stock one for under $400

Nope mounts over the factory and hangs down, it’s an ornament.
Well thank you. I see the stock bumper behind it now. That would have been a depressing purchase

If I didn't have an LE bumper I'd get the Slasher bumper .

X2 On the Slasher Bumper... best value top mount bumper on the market for our machines. Minus a few incorrectly sized bolts of (nothing a quick run to the hardware store didn't solve) this was everything I wanted out of a bumper and more. Well worth the money and a lot more beef to it than the competition.
I do think the Slasher is the best top mount bumper available but I just don’t want my winch moved from behind the bumper now. And I love the looks of the LE brush guard just wish it was a little stronger. Just found it for less than 300 though so still may wind up going that direction. I just don’t like the added length the winch mount bumpers add

TC is way more stout than the competition, just compare the weight of each. That added weight is a GOOD thing when climbing hills. I love mine.

I also wasn't a fan of the added length previous to install but so far I've found little to actually complain about with it mounted on. Good luck with your bumper! Let us know which way you go and some pics!
I never have seen a TC in person yet but they do look like they are high quality in pics. Have you been able to side-by-side compare the TC vs. the Slasher? I'm really interested to know what the significant differences are that warrant the substantial price hike. Gotta be thicker steel and maybe an overall heavier duty construction?

You pretty much nailed it... is it worth the price difference for that? Welll... that’s debatable. But it probably wouldn’t be to me at the non sale prices. However, I do love my TC bumper!

No I have not seen the Slasher, but seems I read somewhere about it being 30-40#. Not trying to be mean, but when it comes to strength, that can not compare to a well made 80+# bumper. Seems the shipping weight was 125# due to coming in a really well made crate.

I’ve seen both... several guys have the slasher. @Ragnar406 @Hondasxs @Tramguage1 are probably the best to comment on its structural soundness.
