Ya, I am a fan of fully welded too but sometimes its cheaper to go bolt on. And then you can always go and weld it later

 

Yeah you can tell if a weld is good.. but a. Bolt no.

 

Not always.....

 

You can if you know what to look for. Bolts are made by machines and possibly made in china. Welds are done by hand. but i do agree that a good LOOKing weld can have sh** penetration.

 

Back to the OP's subject, I really like the look of the new bumper as well. It's a really cool looking set up. I am however concerned about the strength of the tow points being bolted and not welded either. I also see the stinger/pushbar part of being for looks more than function.

I love Rough Country products. They think of everything going through the process of installation for us guys who don't weld. I'd bet this bumper fits better than any other bumper on the market too. Even if it is not up to "tube bumper" standards. Their stuff just fits right.

 

ya, i mean, i just said it looked awesome lol

 

X2!!! But I'm positive I'll get stinger

 

Ya I'm getting the stinger, I will have mine ordered within the next two weeks!!

 

Dude! Lucky idk when I'll order mine all I have is 180 . Haha maybe my dad will pay for some

 

I have like 300 but I have to pay my insurance and gas so like half of that. I'm trying to sell some of my old parts to make some money and I get paid again a week from today

 

That just made me think... I should have it installed within two weeks I hope

 

I like the looks of the RC Bumper, but I bought JCRs winch bumper, rear, bumper with d-ring brackets and 2 inch receiver, rock sliders, gas tank skid plate, and their transfer case skid plate. I got a great price on some serious armor. The bumpers and rock sliders are built using 5 x 2, 3/16s inch tubing, I bought the three bolts for the passenger tie in bracket so my winch bumper has 7 bolts on each side holding the bumper to the uni-frame.
The reason the JCR bumper costs more is because the material in it costs more.

 

Have you ordered it yet???

 

To you guys that are thinking of buying this bumper, make sure you take lots of pics and do a write up. I'd love to see how they turn out. They look great in the video.

 

I plan too within a couple days, and I will post pics and how I like it after it's on!
