Front Bumper
I can't decide if i want to get a new winch bumper for my xj. Could anybody give me some pros an cons to it???
|
Pros:
Looks cool Can mount a winch Provides sturdy shackles for pulling Provides mounting for lights Can jack from the bumper using a Hi-Lift Cons: Expensive Heavy |
I installed a Rusty's hidden winch bumper on mine, and I love it. I put a Warn 9000 lb winch with synthetic rope and lights. I was initially concerned about the extra weight pulling the front end down, but no problem at all.

TRCM that reminds me of the time my dad and I we're doing something to his Jeep (97 Grand). Stood on his stock bumper to get at the throttle cable, or something, and when I straightened back up to get down, the whole bumper fell off. It's only plastic with styrofoam packing.
My Jeep has a light weight wench bumper, doesn't weigh much. I definitely second TRCM on both parts, and to add, hitting your bumper with your shins as I have makes you use some very colorful words. |
