I am running the very first BPI out of the factory. I stopped by and took a look at it a few years ago when they were just looking at doing it. Back then I paid $304 for it. They sure went up and now someone else is making them.
It is extremely tough. I rearended an Explorer and totaled it. The bumper was fine. I am running 35's and I had to trim the sides on the bumper back, because the tires were hitting. The early bumper didn't have all the extended plating for reinforcing the steering box that the new bumpers have, but the workmanship and design are great. The only thing I don't like is that the tow points on the bumper are thinner than I like. A shackle is much wider and they just don't fit that well. I am going to cut mine off and and go with a 1" wide mount.
