Ugh that things 1/8" wall and only mounts with 4 bolts per side.

I'd keep looking if I were you, that 210 is a good start on something better.

I'd look for a minimum of 3/16 thick and about 6 bolts per side.

Looks like crap. However if at least it tied into the unibody more like a winch bumper should I would understand. Not enough reinforcement for sure, which is weird because they sell bumper tie in brackets for six bolts in their builder parts section (??)

what would all of you guys recommend for a solid bumper that isn't going to break the bank?

L&L fabrication, he had a huge build time when I got mine so if you're interested I'd find out what that's at currently, and he is a vendor here, IMHO my set was worth the wait.

Nates4x4, I know he had some issues a few years back, he seems to be coming back up in the world though and is also a vendor, and I know he has a sweet free shipping deal going on.

Dirtbound looked good when I checked them out, I do know some people can't get a hold of him easily...not sure what to say on that one lol.

Also hudfab bumpers, yet another vendor on here has some pretty good product as well.

Thanks for the recommendation We would definitely be able to set you up with a nice bumper at a fairly low price, give me a call or PM.
