I hear great things about them. I did a bunch of work on this guys xj in exchange for them. Which I'm pretty excited about bc ill be honest I probably wouldn't have been able to afford these things new. And like I said before 2 of them are like brand new and the other two have wear but still plenty of meat left on them. I guess I'll toss the better ones in the rear.

What do you guys think about those bumpers? For 400 bucks shipped that seems like a deal. Reviews are great and they are just the look i want. From what ive seen shopping around on average just front bumpers are like 400 bucks sometimes not even including shipping. Im pretty close to just ordering these things already!

I have a friend who bought those. The only thing I'd worry about is their dependability as recovery points. No substantial frame tie ins, front or back. Front hoop is kind of a joke. I've got the l and l front and mine puts that to shame. Probably getting a detours rear tire carrier.

They look decent though. And, ill have 1500 in bumpers. Versus 400.

I think I'm just gonna buy them. I like the look and I think they will be strong enough. There are a lot of reviews on ebay and they are all good.

Yeah I like the l&l stuff too but it's just way to expensive. The cost of building a bumper is next to nothing and let's be honest it doesn't take that long that's what gets me. For 400 shipped you can't really beat that. I'm sure if it's really needed I could beef up the tie ins but I don't really, think it will be needed. They seem pretty sound as is. I would love to have the detours tire carrier my friend has one and he's thinking about selling it. So hopefully ill score with that.

Btw what does your friend think of the bumpers?

For way less then 400 you can make your own with more side protection and put some bends in it and not just a straight piece of steel.

True I like how yours tucks along the front fender too. As long as it has the two tow hooks I'd be sold. I just don't have the welder and honestly the skills. I have welded things here and there but nothing that I would be proud to show off. Lol

I love the day lighters. I had them on my 95 too. The finish stays nice they don't get all rusty like the cheaper copys. And they are bright! It really depends where your going to put them. The slim ones are nice if your putting them on the bumper where you don't have much room. But I would definitely suggest the daylighters if you have the room. Also cool about them is kc has a ton of different grills and filters for the daylighters I don't know about the slims. I think the slims are a few bucks more than the daylighters too.
