Looking at buying it tomorrow or sometime this week. I discovered the hard way tonight that I didn't really have any tow points. I really need a new front (with a winch plate) and rear bumper (and spare tire mount on rear). Prefer to have receivers and such. The front looks a little dinky though, but im looking for around $300 for front with that similar style and $450 for rear with mount.

Any suggestions or anyone selling theirs nearby?

I think those bummpers look good and they kind of remind me of OR-FAB bummper but alot cheaper.

Okay, you don't think the fronts are too small and whimpy?

ProudXjOwner

No I see nothing wrong with the front. If I didnt already have a front bummper and lived close I would def. get those.

There's a guy on here (little leonard or something, just search) that makes a little more beefy bumpers for the same price. I'm happy with my front and will get the back when other drivetrain mods are done.

If you still dont like the front you can check out the one I got from littleleonard0909

You posted that at the same time I was looking him up bc thats the bummper I got.

Both those bumpers look really good. I think i'll just have to talk to them and see if I can get exactly what I want made. The ones made by littleleonard0909 look much sturdier, I am a little concerned it would sag eventually though

I nailed a good size tree with the side/corner of it and slid into another tree coming down a slippery hill directing into one of the D-rings. That sucker didn't budge.

Good forum people are hard to find, I like to stick up for the guy that's helping the community....not trying to retire early and rip people's heads off. 400+ dollars for a "bumper" is just ridiculous. I couldn't believe the prices when I first started looking. Some are like 800$...... For a buncha metal welded together.

you could check ebay. I have seen them there and maybe some one has left some feedback

I'm glad someone else feels the same as me. It's kinda sad isnt it like the trailready bummpers for $1200 Like really you have got to be joking right.

TonyB

I'm sure there's people out there that can justify 1000$ for welded metal......but i'm certainly not one of'em.

I went and ordered front and rear bumpers from the local fabricator today. After seeing the bumpers in person I couldnt reseist both front and rear with tire swingout for only 500bucks. Seemed like a good deal!

just make sure they dont just bolt up to the factory six holes make sure they have polates that go along the unitbody rails and use more holes along the line and grade 8 hardware all day
