You should do a stubby front bumper with tow hooks with built in LED bar.

 

I never said Less Expensive. I did say that we are trying to leave the pricing the same, or have as small of an increase as possible! A lot of options will become standard, some product offerings may be combined into a new product, etc.

You'll have to stay tuned to see what happens with the rear bumper! Mike has been working on the design, hopefully we'll have something soon!

Definitely diggin' the winch bumper with the pre-runner hoop. Great great stuff.

 

Here is a sneak peak of how the design is coming together for the new Crusader Rear:

 

Looking good...

 

Here's the new Vanguard Front XJ winch bumper, completed, coated and installed! Pretty hot! Going to start working on the product page and info now!



We are still waiting on the non-winch versions to come back from coating! Hopefully tomorrow!

Vanguard is now online! http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/XJB/XJFV.html

 

Laser Cut CNC bent, Cool.

How about the LED light holes. is that standard or are there some options there? Reason I ask is theres a 6 bank Cree light on ebay that will save guys a ton of cash. This would be nice after dropping the coin on a JCR Bumper.

 

Love the overall look of both the front and rear bumpers! Seriously great looking stuff! Makes me wish I'd have waited before I bought the Or-Fab Hidden Winch Bumper. It is a good one, though.

I think you should offer a version of the Vanguard without the bars. And for the version with bars... Given the popularity of LED light bars (in addition to cubes) you should have light mount tabs on the bottom of the center bar. Having them on top would put most LED light bars (at about 4" to 5" in height with brackets) up above the front hood line.

Also, it would be awesome if you made the whole thing more modular. Have the main center section, put make optional "wings" that can be bolted to the ends to accommodate various flare widths. You could have one set of wings or tips that match factory flare width, and another set that match Bushwacker pocket or flat flare width. I think a big part of the appeal of many of the JK bumpers is the modular approach so people can choose which ends work best with the flares/fenders, lights, or the look they're going for. Hell, make the bars an optional bolt-on too.

I really dig the JCR logo laser cut in the front dead center, but I've always thought it would be great if a bumper maker would integrate a place in the center to attach your winch hook that way it's not always off to one side or the other at the D-rings. Or, make a JCR winch thimble.

BTW, just got my sliders from you guys in last week. Hope to get them coated in Line-X and installed sometime in the next couple of months when I do my lift.

Again, you guys do great work! I'd give my left one for the rear tire carrier rear with Rotopax, but my wife is kinda fond of me having an evenly matched pair, so that will have to wait She's been understanding enough with my recent acquisition of $2500 worth of lift parts, gears, and tires.

 

Hmm...

 

<<<@!1!@>>>

I have 4 of those very lights. Mine will be going on my Surco rack. I also have the matching light bar, which will be going on my winch bumper soon.

Light bar.


Light pods.

 

Front and rear are definitely a good match! Love the look of both!

 

I'm not 100% sure. I would need a link to look at them. The holes are standard for most square pod lights. The configuration of the light can change, as long as they stay the same size as the square pods.

 

Both bumpers look great!
