Default Custom Front and Rear Bumpers

Where do you guys go for a rear bumper with a 2" receiver and tow hooks option, and a front bumper with a winch size middle plate, two hook optional and it covers the whole grille. I don't want a rear fifth tire carrier. And it'd be nice if the front bumper had an option for offroad lights.

So who to, or where to go?
Thanks guys!

If I bought one, it would probably be from jcr, but I make mine because I have the tools and I can make it exactly how I want it.

Not to sound like a total A## but, This isn't even near a tech question, this should be in chat. All it takes is some search function. There are many, many threads about bumpers and many, many vendors offering bumpers.

Website kind of sucks but they do great products.

I haven't decided what to do for my bumpers but these are the ones I like the most, or c-rok.

You do sound like an *** hole. Im looking for advice on aftermarket parts. This includes buying, preparing, and installing. I did do a search and found some, but not that way i want. You're not a moderator, and i'm sure a few have read this and haven't moved it.

Thanks for all the great advice everyone else, this is what i'm looking for!

your post still isn't tech, so maybe you need to read the titles before posting.

Advanced section:
All advanced Tech questions. If it modifies your XJ beyond stock parts ask it here. Examples are lifts and SYE's.

Yes, it is in the right section. I did read... aftermarket offroad bumpers are not stock.

Cherokee Chat:
General non-tech Cherokee chat

I hope you know what a cherokee is...but i'm talking about one.


just stop

I would think about it if I had time. Right now I have 2 jeeps to work on, a dirt bike, and I'm getting ready to start building a house. All this and working 55-70 hrs a week.

^^^ Sounds like you got your hands full.... Have you ever welded before? I just recently bought a cheap $120 welder at harbor freight and did some rocker panels and bumpers are next with he receiver hitch. It wasn't hat difficult, it was fun, and i think its gonna save me money over those $800 bumpers especially since i only paid $200 for my jeep....

You're telling me...... I have too many plans and nowhere near enough time/motivation.
