Default Good Deal?

http://www.quadratec.com/products/12051_0800FS_07.htm

I've heard quite a few good things about the Smittybilt XRC bumpers for the XJ and Smittybilt in general. The sliders IMO leave a bit to be desired for the price and the way they are mounted. You could use or easily sell the sliders for a couple/few hundred(which would make this an even better deal). I really only want the bumpers to be quite honest.

Usually Quadratec is on the pricier side of things but this seems really good. I'm just kinda curious what others thought?

$900 for front and read bumpers AND sliders. I'd say that's not top shabby.

I wanted to make my own though.

Looks like they bolt over the rockers only with no frame rail tie ins. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/an...153444/index2/ look at post 25

Yeah as I said I'm not too big of a fan of the sliders either and they don't really have any feedback from the research I've done. So, they may be might tough to sell.

I really like the look of the XRC bumpers and the fact that they come powder coated. I would love to make my own but it's just another thing that wouldn't ever get done and I suck at welding. I just don't think there is a comparable deal right now. The deal ends 7-31 (I think) so there is a little time to think about it!
