If fitting a new bumper fit a solid one never mind these fancy ones with holes and DRLs in it needs to be useful not just to look at
Just my opinion though

who makes this one?

That model isn't available new anymore, maybe a few at hugely inflated prices listed at a US site...

Unless I'm mistaken of course, buuuut Mantec themselves did tell me that mine was the last one out of the factory:

Original looked best imo; unless needed for a specific mod such as winch I'd stay original

The urban Truck bumper was around £300 but similar now seem to be half that already done? So doesn't seem too bad.

I like that

Hi Scott

The lights were from EBay, I can’t find the link for them at the moment, as I can’t find them on there now?
They were good quality waterproof units, with a control unit for each pair.

Total cost to do the bumper was well under £100,
The lamps were £36 a pair, and a cheap hole saw from Tool-station,
I gave the bumper a coat of zinc primer, and satin black, job done!

You have to fix/weld a metal strip to the inside of the bumper from top to bottom to fix them in place,
I’ve wired mine so the outer pair were daytime running lights, the inner pair came on with high beam,
I have now ended up wiring them all into high beam, as the light output from them was so good.

I did have some photos of when I did all this, but have only just deleted them, due to a phone update!

I will try and find the light suppliers details for you.

80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

Wow, that has a very macho, armageddon-ish, post-zombie-apocalyptic look! The testosterone is almost oozing out! On the right vehicle (like the one in the photo) it looks epic.
