Got the insurance check! Bumper selection help!
So i got the check for my accident, damn deductible knocked it down to only $242.79. Whats the best front bumper i can get for around this much? I really dont want to have to dig into my own pocket because im trying to save up for rims and tires. Im not looking for anything fancy just a clean looking black front bumper. Any ideas?

Check www.nates4x4.com .
I just got their XJ front bumper with grill and brush guards-
I had to paint it myself, but it seems pretty stout, isn't too too heavy, and, with a few coats of primer and some black rustoleum, looks good.
It was relatively cheap too, coming ini around 350.
Without the guards is less though.
I would DEFINITELY recommend the recovery points, even if you don't put the shackles in them. They're beefy and well mounted/welded.
I have heard people say they have had bad experiences with wait times for their stuff from Nates, but I guess I'm the exception. ! week from online order to front door. Shipping was relatively cheap too, and it came with all the hardware for mounting. (showed up separate 4 days later)
I'm mounting it on my 98 in a week or so, so I'll take some picts and post em.
Yeah, I had that whole deer/jeep collision issue 3 times last year.
Now i'll be a little more prepared.
Good luck

What kind of bumpers are you looking 4? if you do a lot of rock crawling i would get a hard bumper but if you just looking for a good rugged bumper. Check out dual tube bumpers. i put them on mine and was surprised with the look and functionality of them. You see them on tjs and yjs all the time. I figured why not. I like them. You can get front and rear for bout 400$

www.jcroffroad.com, I'm planning on getting bumpers and sliders from them, and they're definitely the cheapest I've found for premium quality stuff.

I have a Logans Metal Products front bumper that I purchased on ebay through them. Got it on sale for about $200 and shipped for another $65.

Great solid front bumper! I got it bare steel to save on money and just painted it up myself.
