Any recommendations for economical skids? Hoping to score some oe ones, what are you running?

I'm runing stock skids

Did you pull them from the junkyard?

It looks friggin sweet! Very impressed.

Hey, thanks a bunch!

Looks good man I can't wait to get bumpers on mine I think that's what really makes them how much did the front set you back

Right at $550 with the light bar and D rings.

That's higher that giraffe. Pssy

What? Not sure what that means, I'm assuming you think that is a high price... Try to find one with a light bar, d rings, winch plate and powder coating for less. I sure couldn't. Jcr comes close but you have to paint it. Other options are $600-$900. And I assure you, this damn thing is built like an anvil. Some may not like how far it sticks out, to me it looks bad *** and hasn't really affected my approach angle during wheeling.

Cool reckon what it weighs

I think it was like 94 pounds if I remember correctly.

That's pretty light for a bumper I bet that's awesome

I'd say that's a heavy bumper lol mine is like 70-75 then you add the weight of the winch Haha

I really like it so far. The installation was easy and I really like the way it goes together and the high quality hardware. The powdercoating was excellent. The welds all looked good, not completely "perfect" to the eye like an ARB but not sloppy at all and well done. And yes, I think it's pretty dang heavy, especially adding an 80lb winch on top.

I have only seen one other of these on an XJ forum. They are fairly new, I think they came out in August or so, and for the price point I think its about as good as you can get for our rigs. There are a lot of quality options out there, but this one had everything I wanted for a price that I could live with.

I was originally searching for a Smittybilt XRC bumper, and although they are advertised everywhere, they actually do not exist yet. Every single place I called that showed them on their website was on "indefinite" backorder and had not seen any yet.

I wonder though what do other brands weigh that have steel construction not just tube
