I love JCR they're an awesome company to deal with. I picked up a dirtbound DIY winch bumper. it was total shet because it had zero underside protection which is no good for dragging it over rocks (my intended use) so I sold it. that mojave one looks pretty sweet just make sure it will stand up to whatever you plan on using it for. I didn't see any pics of the underside so I can't tell if it's only half a bumper like the other one. looks like dirtbound has really expanded since the last time I was on the website

 

Figure I'll jump in the thread, the front bumper is similar in design to our rear with the CNC cut plates and Press Brake formed. It has a very high approach angle because of that even though it sticks out a little further then others, that gives better protection to the grille. In my opinion it flows better with the look of the Cherokee.

Not sure what Atmos means by zero underside protection as there is a plate for the bottom. We test the bumpers by smashing them into rocks and determined the design solid, and with the number of bumpers out there with that design not a single one has come back with reports of damage.

 

I was referring to the winch bumper http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/jeep...p-cherokee-xj/
it's just empty space and that didn't look to great for reversing over and off of rocks
you really smashed that 3/16 lip off of rocks and didn't have any issues with the steel denting in and chipping off? I've put gashes in my 3/8 thick ruffstuff covers

 

i have the dirtbound rear bumper and have hit 2 cars and many rocks with it with out any denting. along with sliding off rock ledges and landing hard on it.

 

Do you guys plan on making tube bumpers like hudfab, a member here used to? I hate boxy bumpers.

 

how do you hit two cars with your rear bumper...

 

peaked my curiosity as well

 

My wife is an expert. She teaches that class.

 

I'm hoping it is the other driver that was at fault!

 

Anyone that knows how I test our products will attest that I don't hold back, ill intentionally slam it into rocks. I guess each driver is different but for the majority of people the current design is more then plenty strong.

 

well one person hit me and the other one was just in my driveway. i was moving the jeep around another car didnt see my brothers girlfriends car around the corner and put 2k worth of damage into a honda civic lol

 

I've got a JCR front bumper and a Dirtbound rear bumper. Dirtbound is good, but JCR quality & fitment is top notch!

Pick which one looks best to you, and go with it

 

I personally want the jcr prerunner winch bumper, but I'm going to make my own. You can get a sheet of 3/16 and make one yourself for a hell of a lot less than $700-800.

 

its amazing how much any of the bumpers out there cost. it really is a ripoff. rear bumper with a tire carrier..1000. bucks. REALLY???? are you high. that bumper should come with a hooker.

 

You are right, I made mine that looks exactly like jcr offroad's crusader bumper, and I only spent 100 bucks in materials and hardware. I just think some people here either don't know how to weld, or even have time to fabricate one. It's thought sometimes
