So I have been talking with the owner and can get a discount if we do a group by. And shipping will be cheaper through my freight contacts. I know if I can find four other ZJs, we can get the winch bumper for around $450. Which saves about $75 dollars per bumper. The more we get, the more we save. Im waiting on a response about mix matching parts. Such as ordering 3 xj bumpers, 2 ZJ bumpers and 3 xj rears.. so if you are serious about getting parts let me know and we will get it going. He carries everything for xj, xj, tj and more....

Would prefer to keep this to atlanta or close by, but if you are serious then we can work something out. I may have some low cost shoppers I can use but it will come on your dime. (Will still be cheaper than having it shipped from Michigan..lol)

I have a nates bumper and its a great bumper! Holds up to everything i put it through. My only complaint is how far it sticks out.

How would you rate the bumper for:
Durability?
Looks?
Cost?
Installation?

Durable - 10/10
Looks- 5/10 very simple design
Cost- depends on your budget
Installation- Easy, just like any bumper made vehicle specific should be lol

I had one of his on my TJ,it was ok. It was a simple no frils bumper. IMO if you want good bumper that won't break the bank JRC off road.

that first pic is my Jeep. I forgot it was on his site, LOL.

This bumper sticks out like a sore thumb, but I think we've rammed it into more boulders and trees than I care to admit and lemme tell you...it is TOUGH. Never had to do more than touch up the paint.

Installation is easy- just expand the holes in your stock bumper-thingy and bolt right on.

When I bought this bumper it was the cheapest winch bumper I could find that came with a brush guard and d-ring tabs included. I can't remember what it cost, though.

I think he has free shipping on all orders now anyway. No need for a group buy other than the lowered cost of the product.

Yea he is, but doesn't know how long he will keep it that way. And yea. If I could find 4 others who wanted the bumper he dropped over $100 dollars off the price. Around 425 a piece

He is letting me mix match. So XJs front and rear bumpers. Winches. Anything he offers
