Default JCR Offroad DIY Front Bumper

Has anyone made this bumper with the pre runner hoop kit or any of the hoop kits? I would like to hear some reviews and see some pictures if you have any? Thank you in advance for the help as I am trying to figure out how much money I need to save.

They have pictures on the site, most reviews for JCR are good, they make good products, the price is also on the site so you know what to save..

I have looked at their site I was only able to find pictures of the bumper without the hoop kits. I have also priced it out on the site and it seemed like it was a good price. While writing this I found this write up: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/j...umper-1293677/

It has a few pictures with the hoop kit that I am thinking of and it looks good. I just need to same some money.

Love it. Deffently should have gotten the hoop. I kinda rear ended an 05 Nissan sentra. Totally killed the poor car and just busted my grille and header panel radiator and condenser. I feel the damage to the jeep would have been minimal if the hoop was in. Also get the unibody reinforcements they offer. Totally worth it. Really beefs up the front for pulls and collisions...

Yea ik. It was a stupid mistake on my part I felt so bad but the dude got 10k off of my insurance and didnt get hurt. I felt horrible about it but **** happens the guy was pretty cool

Back on the subject I think the pre runner hoop is to big, I like the little small hoop looks better i plan to mount some KCs or Hellas on mine when I install it

Nonetheless, very impressed with how well it held up - that's crazy!
