Been looking at possibly buying a new front bumper someday down the road. Honestly can't be asked cutting into the frame at all, so I'm considering the ADD Pro Bolt-on or the SVC Baja Bolt-on.

I've searched FRF several different ways up down and in-between on threads reviewing the SVC Baja bolt-on, but I haven't found a single thread, so i'm starting one.

I've been reading some less than positive things about ADD products and rusting recently. Thought I'd reach out to fellow members and see if they have a third company/option I should consider in terms of a sleek/stealthy pre-runner bolt-on front bumper. Also would love to hear from anyone who is running either bumper and their opinion. Thanks!

I agree with @nikhsub1, not a fan of the SVC bolt on. They should make a Mojave style bolt on bumper. That would give ADD a run for their money. For other sleek/stealthy bolt on prerunner bumpers, you could look into Krazy House customs, RPG Offroad, and Icon.

I didn’t want to cut the frame on my new truck either. I wasn’t a fan of any of the bolt on bumpers so I ordered the SVC Baja bumper and intercooler. I made nice clean cuts with the grinder so the frame horns can be welded back on if needed.

Agreed. I checked Krazy house and I don’t think they have a bolt on. RPGs reminds me basically the same as SVC though it is cheaper. I do like Icons option, but is a tad bit beefier than what I’d like. Seems like the options are limited!

For what you're after, the options are indeed limited. I think the ADD pro bolt on will be your best bet. I had an ADD bumper on my old truck for a few years and it held up well.

Yeah it looks good. Any rusting issues right off the bat?
