Default front bumper

I'm looking for a new front bumper, preferably with a bull bar but still only a few hundred bucks. Let me know what some good sites are please!

Good luck on the few hundred bucks idea ! Your going to spend 300 if you can fab and weld and 400-800 if you cant.
But yes search is your friend.

Here's one for 149.99. I just bought this bumper and must say it is extremely strong and well built. The thickness of steel is actually bigger than some 300-500 dollar bumpers I looked at. Has d ring mounts, fog light mounts, and push bar. Corners of bumper angle in slightly and looks great.

Yeah no problem. DND offroad also sells them on eBay, but they are currently $50 more on eBay then their website. I will tell you that according to their feedback on eBay, and my personal experience, is that almost everyone complained about how it too so long to get bumper. Although everyone who complained about shipping also went on to say how nice of a bumper it is. So as long as you expect to wait for it it is worth it. I ordered mine and it took just over a month. I also requested it to be powder coated for an extra $50. They ended up sending me a bare metal bumper a month and a week after ordering. I was a little pissed but will just get it powder coated locally.

Yeah I'm not really getting the best service either. I ordered mine from them over two weeks ago and when I called yesterday the guy said he never even saw the order. So now I'm still waiting

With every fabrication shop, there will be a wait time. Some will be shorter (JCR Offroad) than others (DND)

Well obviously I expected a wait, but they didn't even notice my order so nothing has been done with it at all yet
