front bumper questions...
 

alright so i have finally saved up enough to buy new bumpers, and im not sure where to start but i was thumbing threw some ideas the other day and stumbled across one that really caught my eye. im not sure if the bumper can be bought of if its all custom work, but if anyone els has seen a bumper close to this any info would be greatly appreciated on how to build or where to buy.. thanks for the :help:.

The bumper on that jeep is a warn, but the tubes are custom.
Arb, and trailready are both that style with the brushguard.

haha this is my desktop background pic. seen it on ebay. the ad on ebay said warn was looking at making them (tube part) or some crap like that but that was ever ago.

ok thanks for the info.I've just never seen one that was built like that.I wonder if anyone would know our be able to find a write up on the fab...if so I'd definitely make one.though I'm sure its now much doesn't then fabbing any other bumper

DIY...
 

I vote you DIY.... I did. If you want to save a LOT of the hassle, start with a kit bumper and build off it. JCR and Dirtbound both offer good starter parts. I went with JCR on mine.
Have to wait until (hopefully) Sunday before I can post installed pics. :)

Hmmm...
 

And I'm not sure why but that XJ just kinda reminds me of this for some odd reason... :O

Any good local metal shop or welder can make you that bumper tho.As said find a base diy kit that you like and have the rest made localy.

Check out landlfabrication.com, and look at his winch bumpers. 250$ shipped to your house and a heck of a lot better approach angle then the Jcr. You can't beat that even if you tried to build it yourself.

thanks for all the help guys. I mean I don't know about y'all but that bumper is sick and so is the Jeep but I'll definitely look into it and check out those sites I have a few friends I know that are pretty decent at welding so hopefully is be able to pull something together.I was really bummed tho because I found the pictures of that Jeep a year or two ago and then forgot how to find it again.is still be interested in finding it again If the owner is on the forum.or one similar... but thanks for the help.I'm really new to the whole diy thing so still the more help the better.I've seen a couple diy kits but yet again don't know much about welding or gauge of metal to use although I know it varies depending onthe owner and purpose..

I run a Rigidco Front bumper on my XJ it is priced competitive with JCR and a few others

I have a dirtbound hoop on mine my co worker has a Rigidco on his XJ with a Prerunner bar
