around 100 lbs full set
So around 45kg including winch mount - that is great!
In Australia we are in Brisbane as https://www.rival4x4.com.au/ and through national network of dealers. Bumpers are ADR69 and airbag compatible (we crash test them in Melbourne).These bumpers most likely will be sooner available in Australia rather than in the US.
The more I look at the pictures, the more I like it. Do you have any indication on when it will be available to the market?

Don't talk them into raising the price.I like the Rival. Winch-Ready, but I'll probably never add a winch. Their skid plates and other newer products seem to be worth considering (plus they are a sponsor), when available.
Looks like more from others are being designed for the US Ranger Raptor, too.
One example - not familiar with ADD AddictiveDesertDesigns myself, though. Base price ($2,489) w/skid plate is reasonable. Not winch-capable. Add the front and side lights and it gets expensive fast. Also would need the ACC relocate kit ($190).
Instruction sheet shows basically everything one needs to know about removing the bumper (FYI).
As we know, skids and hood lifts for Ranger have been redesigned earlier, just waiting on production. Ranger Bumpers have been discontinued not long time ago to let new designs come in later this year.Rival, are any bumpers in the works for the non-Raptor Rangers? I am interested and front and rear bumpers.
BTW, I have tested and installed all the skid plates on the Ranger Lariat and they are great. The radiator, tank, Lower arm, and engine plates fit perfectly. The trans and transfer case ones fit as well, however there is no hole in the frame on NA Rangers for one of the bolts on one side like in AU. I drilled a half inch hole for the nut to go in and it works. Also, the hood struts fit as well.
Top quality stuff and looks awesome, I am very happy with them. I will post pictures soon.
Looks like a toy.
I didn't notice any significant difference. The engine was fine. The trans got a little warm when in 4 low going through technical situations (With at least the rear locker engaged.) in 104+ degree heat (116 degree is the hottest I've been off roading in). I'm going to add a bigger Aluminum trans pan for sure before the trans skid is in place and a trans cooler at some point.
Thanks for all the info. Sure, appreciate it. I'm going to get all the skid plates for our Ranger Raptors as well. We live in Michigan and we are using ours for everyday driving and taking them in State Forests a few times a year in northern Michigan and our Upper Penisula. Nothing extreme like you but I would get all the plates even if I didn't go off road at all. I don't like how everything is so exposed underneath. I will definitely look into engine and transmission oil coolers as well. Not a bad investment at all! Thank you my friend....
