Default OR-FAB Bumper?

I'm thinking about getting a new bumper for the XJ and wondered if anyone had used this OR-FAB Bumper or new if it was any good or anything?

I just put on a Nates 4x4 bumper, with brush guard.
Good bumper for the price, if you dont mind painting something.
It comes bare steel, VERY reasonably priced, includes all hardware, including the bolts for the steering box, which might break on you.
Check on the installation process of whichever bumper you buy.
This one looks pretty deer-proof.

Good luck-

looks like a really nice bumper is fair priced but i really like how it puts the winch below the grill so you dont block off air flow and it is encased in tube if you go under quadratecs readers rigs there are two jeeps in there with that front bumper

Really? I will have to look in there then. I didn't see them when I was browsing through there. Would you mind posting link or the photos in case I don't find them.

Never mind I found them. I really like how it looks. Think it would be hard to get a license plate stuck on there?

I believe rugged ridge makes a license plate mounting bracket that clamps around tube bumpers. I could be mistaken but I think I saw it in Q-tec somewhere for like $20.
