Not to mention Terry's work is top notch and his prices are competitive with other companies , when I buy a swing out for my Xj will go with rigidco or dirtbound since you can have the tire carrier behind the driver side. But I am leaning towards rigidco because I have rigidco sliders and winch bumper on my Xj already and I live 3 miles from his place so no shipping
When I get a swing out I'll have to see if shipping or just driving up is cheaper.

Finally got the nates 4x4 bumpers covered with raptor liner and installed! Very pleased with the looks but not sure about the durability of the raptor liner yet.

Just throwing in what I like...
Out of many months of going around 100s of designs. I love Or Fab's Xj bumpers. Not super heavy to bring down your front end but its super strong and braced into the frame. I'm getting the non-winch version
Here is the winch version for ya...
I good blog for install

My personal favorite was the T&T customs bumper but i did some pricing and found out that it would cost 749$ to buy it and have it shiped to my house, which is too much. The same with the ORFab front bumper - too expensive. I like the JCR bumper, but they are also just a little too much money that i would like to spend. I like the "AJ's OffRoad Armor" "PhatXJ" bumper but i found somting too good to pass up. I looked at "Nates 4x4" front bumper and found a great deal... a front winch pre-runner front bumper AND a rear bumper with d ring tabs and a 2 inch reviever mount for only 650$!! Not to mention FREE SHIPPING!! 
As of now i think this is going to be my choice, however when i get them they will just be raw steel.
And advice or input on what to put on them? Has anyone ever put bedliner on a bumper?

My AJ's PHAT with Xtreme Liner (goes on hot - 160 - 180f)

I was gonna get the Hudfab tube bumpers. i think he stopped making them.
I can't stand all the bigg azz bulk **** out there. Its just not my taste. I love the approach bumbers. ORFAB make that one stlye, but i don't want a winch mount. So i'm still lookin around.

If I hadn't wanted a winch there'd be a JCR on mine.
