Does any one have any pics of an olympic winch bumper installed on their xj, and if you have pics of it with the stinger hoop that would be cool. how does it mount. is it strong. how heavy is it.

i was looking for some side views too so i can see how far it wraps around. i am tossed up between the warn bumper and the olympic bumper. olympic has won me over with the price. so far. but i want to see how much im getting for my money. so far what i like about it is that the winch sits below the grill so it does not block air flow. but other than that idk how strong it is and how much it protects. and how far it sticks out

Olympic has a great rep among the Jeeping community. Ver strong and great customer service. That was the only pic I could find of a Cherokee winch bumper Sry.

Only issue I have with Olympic winch bumpers is 1/8" steel and no d-ring tabs....Personally I'd look at JCR Offraod instead...just as good a pricing and for around $450 plus shipping you can get a JCR winch bumper made with 3/16" steel which is thicker...Plus it ties right into the unibody frame and not the stock bumper mounts..

Why do you say that?

Qtechs website says the stinger is a bolt on addition to the Olympic bumper.

i know that but they only show it as a front view. i figured someone on here had it so thats why i asked.

Another shop to look at and the one I will use is custom 4xr4 fab...They are local for me so that's one good read but I have always heard great things about them...

can you guys/girls post some pics of what bumpers they have on their jeep front and or rear.

He bolded the 1/8" part so I assume he was saying no thanks to the thickness of the metal..


I am looking at JCR myself and have only heard great things about them, except for the shipping time, but unless you are on a build deadline should be no problem waiting for a good product.

Good catch I didn't even see the bolded part..lol

prerunner no need we have a good local shop called Custom 4x4 Fab which is not far from me here in Moore...There are over on 11825 S.E. 109th.. Drop em a line they are good guys and I will be going with them..Plus they can install em if you need them to..

What kind of bumper are you going with? I really like the slim and simple look of the JCR bumpers.. If they can make something similar for cheaper I would definately be interested...

Oh I am not making anything at all..I am buying mine from Custom 4x4 Fab..I talked to them and they can modify their bumpers to have the taper look like JCR does..I was just suggesting talking to them since they are local and based on everything I read and hear about em they make solid quality stuff. I have seen a couple of their bumpers on local rigs and the craftsmanship I think is top notch..Plus me being the lazy person I am they will install it for me..Plus I can get a new rear bumper then save up and add the tire carrier later without any hassle.

Also if you prefer the totally slim design talk to em I bet they could accommodate pretty easily for about the same price..
