Rago Fabrication Bumper

The one thing I don't like and really can't abide is the prominent branding, it's gauche, crass and in poor taste. I hate being an advertisement for anybody, especially so on my own dime... Dial back the branding to something discreet and maybe I'll consider it.
Yep….cant stand products who slap the logo’s for all to see. I get it but be discreet.

Not quite sure what you meant. Their product doesn’t seem to have too much branding? With all the product I used before they all have more or less logo somewhere. The ARB bumper on my another car has it. GOBI never feels shy to put a big logo on their ladder and roof rack. WARN will make sure you see their logo from far away. All cars put their logo on the front of the vehicles, some even light the emblem like Mercedes. Isn’t this the nature of the Motorsport? This vendor doesn’t seem to over do it. Did I miss something here?
The reason I post here is because I am trying to be especially careful for front bumper because it is safety related. This new vendor’s name is not familiar to me. I want to know if anybody tried their product before. Otherwise to be honest I am waiting for ARB’s bumper first to see if they can create a minimal design. My current ARB bull bar is unnecessarily too big and heavy

Their bumper looks well integrated into the design.
I agree with AlphaPuppy, the logo is hideous, and should be way more understated. Perhaps you should contact them and maybe you could be their guinea pig and maybe get a few bucks off.

I like the looks it blends well compared to some others I have seen. I would consider this one.
I do not know how true this is, I did see it on the internet a while ago is this:
Some insurance companies may not cover you in an accident with an aftermarket bumper. Again not sure how true it is but to cover yourself I would contact your insurance company before hand and see what they say. That being said I had an Avid Off-road bumper guard on my Tacoma that saved my butt when I waffled a deer at 45 mph. Basically the construction was a heavy duty semi hollow round bar steel. The result off that hit was the guard mount had twisted and ever so slight pushed against the bumper of the truck. In the end it saved my truck in all honesty.

I checked the imagine again and still couldn’t tell why that matters this much? The size the pattern doesn’t seem to be exaggerated. WARN put their logo on the entire winch on my front bumper and this is not nearly as bad.
To be honest I just need some user experience. I like the integration but I care more about the quality than any other things. Have seem some good looking bad front bumper before so I wouldn’t rush into buying smaller brand until I understand a bit more

ARB always market their bumper to be airbag-compatible. Perhaps it’s the reason??? My understanding is an improperly designed bumper could compromise the airbag to function correctly. I only hope there could be some certification standard for all these third party.
