Well.............i look at it this way. The calmini bumper has no recovery points, but, could you ask them to add those to the bumper? And if you dont want any of the bull bars that are on the shrock bumper, you just dont order them. You can get it with out. But, if ordering shrock stuff, expect a long wait. I was super pissed over my 15 week wait, it was supposed to only be 9 weeks. However....im glad i bought the shrock stuff, it was worth the money and the wait because its proven its worth several times on the last trip i took. Somepeople were only able to follow me on some trails because i used the front bumper to knock some stuff out of the way with it! Boulders, trees, mud....and the bumper still looks new. I havent seen a calmini bumper up close and personal to say its as beefy or not. Whats the price difference?
