Default Front tubular bumper support + intercooler

What kind of lightweight tubular front bumper support is everyone running? Anyone have any pics? I am looking for something to save weight, open up some space and be strong enough to mount my intercooler to. My intercooler is a 31x12x4.

I'm running a Burkhart Chassis support with the Ebay 31"-12"-4" cooler. Nice piece, made things easy to mount, and didn't weigh much.

I like that burkhart setup.

Conan, did it come with all the tabs that it looks like the intercooler is bolted to or you add those?

I ordered the bumper support in bare steel, bent and welded my own mounts to their frame.

The MWC units are only 5 pounds, and actually contact the fascia to support it properly. We can accommodate any type of FMIC setup for your needs. We can even go as far as a complete mounted cooler included with the package. The standard cooler supports are only 150.00 and are in stock ready to ship.

I sent you guys an email for a quote for one of your bumper supports with an A2A intercooler mounted in it almost a month ago and never got a response. Maybe I have the wrong email address. I used the one from your website (midwestchassis@hotmail.com). I sent a terse follow up email just yesterday to the same email address thinking you'd check your email Monday mornings but didn't get a response to that one either. I guess my money's no good.

looking at your pic , that plate the holds the fmic isnt very thick , i think if you bought a standard support like mine and just bolted it on infront of that thin metal you would be fine .
