Never seen that one before but it looks like a stout bumper. I would send them a message and find out how many bolts it mounts to your "framerails" with. I have a detours backbone and it has a total of 12. Very strong. Good luck with it and post up some pics if you decide to get it.

I can tell you I would not by any bumper unless you can see how it mounts to the frame rail and that it bolts up with at least 10 bolts if not the full 12.
As for me I am going with detours backbone and tail bone setup. Tailbone will be the first one then the backbone.

UPS dropped mine off yesterday. I like!! Front bumper with grill guard and winch drop down weighs about 60#, the rear bumper with the 2" receiver hitch I guess weighs about 80#.
Front is held on with 6 bolts. The rear with 8 and also tied into the center brace where the original reese hitch was braced. I'm sure if you talk to Daniel he can add more if you want.
I'm not sure why everyone thinks they need so many bolts holding these bumpers on. I work with heavy equipment everyday. Seen CC SD with loaded trailers winched with the factory tow hook held on with two bolts. Seen Macks loaded out at 70k drug through axle deep mud by 10D dozers. The fronts have a tow point between frame rails thats held on with about a 6" weld on each side and the rear is a tow hook on the frame rail held by 3 bolts. Why a uni-body vehicle that weighs less than 4k needs more grade 8 bolts holding a bumper than a 20 ton truck is beyond me.

second link is same as first for the front. no rear bumper link. i have personally seen bumpers used as tow points ripped right out of stock bolt location. but, there are after market brackets you can buy to add a couple extra bolts on it.

I was going to ask about combining the Karnage bumper with these bumper tie-in brackets from JCR Offroad to make the bumper a stronger, safer option to get, but then with shipping and all, you're over $460. You could go this route for a cheaper alternative then the Karnage/JCR route, with close to the same look.

I'm looking into a winch bumper, but I dont like the prerunner style. When I seen that one it was sleek and the hoops were fairly low profile and didnt stick up way high or way out in front of you.
I'm looking for a wraparound unit, with winch mounting. I'd like something like this if ony it had a fiarlead on it, and a winch mounted in behind the bumper (kinda hidden from view):

I'd like to have the winch mounted behind the bumper outta sight. If I cant find anything I'll probaly just go with a RockHard unit or something similar.
I like the Detours Backbone/Tailbone but the whole purpose of getting bumpers is to get rid of my factory plastic end caps

I am Daniel, the owner of Karnage Offroad. I offer complete tie in brackets made from solid 3/8" x 5" plate. No one that I have seen sells their bumpers with all 3/8" brackets. I have seen someone total their XJ with my bumpers on it, scrap the Jeep and THEN SELL THE BUMPERS FOR MORE THAN THEY PAID FOR THEM. I will build most anything you can come up with, stronger, better. karnageoffroad@yahoo.com

Looks pretty good though... I wanna here some feedback from those who already have those bumpers installed...
