Default Bumpers....
So I was thinking about an aftermarket bumper because both my front and rear are all bent up.
What's a good but also cheap aftermarket bumper I'm not looking to spend almost a grand for the both of them. Would it almost be cheaper to build one myself, because I'm somewhat handy with a welder.

If you weld, why not just build it?

If you have a decent machine, all it costs is material and time.

BTW several companies out there have DIY kits.

DirtBound Offroad is a good example, and Max is a great guy.

By all means if you have the welding skills that kit would be a very good place to start from design to safety.

Should you replace the front and rear main seal at the same time?
