Default JCR DIY Off-road bumper

Finally clearing financial things up and I still have no bumper, literally. I'm dead set on this bumper and want a stinger/light bar. But I don't want to pay. Would it be worth to buy it or just bend the tubing and cut and weld? Should I get the tie in brackets? Just looking for a strong, functional, affordable bumper.

I'm in the same boat as you. Love that bumper and I've been thinking about it a lot. Might just end up ordering it pretty soon here but I need new tires pretty soon so I'm torn with a "need" and a "want" decision. Lol

These cost almost as much as shipping actual bumpers because of the weight. Remember, these kits weigh as much as our assembled bumpers!

Shipping for me brings the total to like 210-220. Can you find me a bumper at that price?

If buying the front and rear bumper together, can they be packaged together to save on some shipping costs? If not I completely understand, just curious.

Thanks

From our FAQ:


Why is shipping so expensive?!

You'd have to ask UPS that one. Many of our products are oversize in both dimension and weight. UPS doesn't like to deal with large packages, so rates start to get a little crazy near their oversize limits.


Can I combine shipping?
On small items this is all ready done at checkout. On larger items UPS gives us no discount for combining packages in one shipment, so therefore we cannot offer any better deal to you.

But how much does the DIY Crusader cost by itself?
