Ok so my birthday is tomorrow and the wife gave me the ok to order a front bumper if u wanted to. I like the rustys offroad one with a hoop and hides the winch under it. I've also read people say rustys stuff is no good the welds break. Is there any other company that makes a bumper like rustys that hides the winch and has a hoop? Or is a rustys one really ok? I'd like to have tie in mounts with it also with a steering box brace.

Well happy birthday. You're going to have to get a winch to go along with that bumper. I mean since it is your birthday

Well duhhh lol I've just ready that the rustys one is no good so I wanna know what other brand is just like rustys or should I just get the rustys one and can I use another brand tie in brackets

That's better then a rustys?

I haven't used either so i can't say.

You think any front bumper tie in brackets will work with any bumper

Some might and some might not just depends how the bumper is made,Most good bumpers come with tie in brackets.

Yea I just like the price of the rustys and how it looks and hides the winch nice

My ARB bumper hides my winch and I guess you could say it has a hoop.

I've been running a Rustys winch bumper for over 4 yrs. now and zero problems. 99.9% of the crap you hear about Rustys is BS and when you question them they have never owned a single piece of his equipment only heard from someone else that.


I personally have over $5k of his gear and not one problem. Here is my winch bumper and have used it a lot even pulling 3/4 ton trucks out of the mud and up hills.

I have a rustys lift and love it so I kind of figure everything I read is BS. Did u use tie in brackets with ur front bumper? That's my only issue I wanna use tie in brackets.

They came with my bumper I bought it used.

U got any pics of how it's mounted to the body with the tie in brackets?

No don't have any on the computer now and Jeep is at my son's.
