Finally got a job as a technician at a dealership so I'm making money again

With that being said, I'll soon be in the market to buy my XJ a new front bumper. I love the prerunner look and want something that's durable.

What do you guys recommend? I'd like to keep the price under $400. Link me and I shall decide!!

Thanks for the pics Luis. I'd consider it a prerunner bumper. I like it but I wish it was a little larger (in width of course). I'm looking for something that gives the same front end coverage that the stock bumper does.

I like the bumper but I want full coverage on the front end like what the stock bumper and bumper ends provide.

I like the machined ORF logo! It's a great bumper, but I want something that'll provide more coverage than a tube bumper.

RLC Fab he makes them to order.
I emailed him last week because I was looking for a winch bumper.
I, like you, wanted it to come back a bit farther I'm not a fan of the cut off fenders at the top edge of the bumper. He said no problem just give him the added length/width I wanted, no additional charge.

He can add the pre-runner loop too.
The price is the best I've found for a custom winch bumper.

Wow that's awesome! I'm definitely going to look into his bumpers some more.
