Im looking at buying an After Market off roading bumper for my 94 Cherokee Sport. Most of the really quality ones that I'm seeing are ranging in the $600 to $1000 range. I talked to a guy up at the 4x4 store here in Raleigh NC and he hinted at a new line of xj bumpers coming out at the end of march. Any one heard about these or know of any real quality off road front bumpers that wont break the bank?

I would recommend looking at nates4x4. Several of my friends have bumpers from there and I just bought one for mine. I got the recessed winch bumper, cost under 500 shipped

Lots of shops build bumpers, some good others not so much. See what they make and if you like it and the price get one.

I will definitely look into both those options. (on nates 4x4 now...)

Cool

Don't forget our vendor section right here on the forum, Hudfab gets my vote since I own one of his

Thanks.. I'm new to the forum myself.. Signed up today actually. I definitely have some more research to do but the one on nates4x4 has caught my eye. Looking to order in a couple weeks but still plenty of time to look around. Looking to spend at most 500. 400 or less if possible.

Which one of nates sparked your interest?

Twinfin

The xj front bumper with brush guard and D rings. No need for a winch just yet most of the stuff I do is in sand pits and wide open areas (Raleigh doesn't have much :/ ) looked at the reviews also. Looks pretty solid and should last a while.. Like the fact it wraps around on both sides for a little added support.

go with the logans metal bumper built like a tank

I like that style but I don't really want or need something huge and or stocky. What's the price on that one?

cornrush

it all depends on what you want one like mine is 500 but without any hoops is 329 but is you want something smaller i would check JCR off road

Check out www.rigidco.com They make winch and non winch front bumpers.

I ordered a winch bumper for my xj. Should be ready in about a month He is extra busy getting people ready for the Moab Jeep Easter Weekend.

Man now I got too many choices! The ridgeco one is pretty much what I'm looking for except with the possibility of a small brush guard to go across the front grill. This is the one I'm looking at now. Nates 4x4 xj bumper

What's the price on that one? I'd like to get one but I've only got a mild 2" lift and don't want a bumper too needy.
