While it looks neat, it exposes a large area of the wide front tires and front suspension to direct air flow, originally covered by the aerodynamic shape of the front bumper - will be interesting to note the effects (or lack of effects, ground-type) as ground speed increases.
This bumper was really designed to improve your approach angle for offroad driving, at the expense of on-road comfort and fuel economy, and perhaps even safety (if it causes your airbags to deploy at lower speeds, as has been suggested).
My understanding is that LinL bought this bumper as a replacement for one that a deer destroyed, and he's hoping to fare better against other deer in the future. Hopefully he went in with his eyes wide open, knowing that he was installing an offroad bumper, not a highway deer pusher.
You should get out more and explore the rest of the site. 
Could somebody post a link?
