So the stlying/bracketry serves a purpose to protect the front end in case of any impacts and damaging an individuals' truck. I pesonally love this bumper the most as for the reason it doesn't stick out too far forward and the bracketry for obvious reasons.

Road Armor keeps safety in mind unlike some to making a heavy duty bumper without a proper Bracket System to absorb impacts before transfering it down the frame rails and further buckleing the frame rendering your vehicle useless and totaling the vehicle. HD bumpers are anyones call. Everyone has a choice. I just wanted to state why I prefer ARB and Road Armor for their outstading bumpers.
Thanks for the info on the bracketry and how the bumper mounts to the Tundra. Its nice to know that the Road Armor is also thinking about safety as well as making a rugged bumper.

However, in my previous post I was talking about how all the angular pieces (ala stealth fighter) of the bumper didn't look right to me. First you have your Tundra that has its clean lines and sweeping curves and then you have this bumper that has all these angular lines and straight edges. The front bumper isn't too bad but the corners of the rear are just way too much, IMHO.
