I'm sick to death of re-buying the stupid plastic bumper trim pieces. Anybody had good luck with the Warrior Rock Crawler bumper? Does the extra weight affect the XJ much?

lol and the list goes on and on... I have never tried the warrior ones (had the ARB and hated it, love the JCR ones I run now) but I thought I would give you a few more to look at

Hey there I work for warrior and I own a cherokee so I have first hand experience. The front bumpers in my opinion are really nice. Good quality. Don't touch the rear.

Also with the weight of the winch bumper I thought my rig handled and felt better..

You mean don't ditch the OEM rear bumper, or don't use Warrior's rear?

b16a90teg

I would not buy the current warrior rear bumper. We are in the process of redesigning it. But not for a few months.

But like I said if I wasn't building a custom front for my own I would buy one. if you have a winch check out warrior number 56055 its stout and reinforced quite well.

Thanks for the info. I don't have the coin to do both bumpers right now, anyway. I'll do the front and see how I like it.

Go for the front I got my today and installed. Looks great, I couldn't be happier with it.

plinkerneil

Very sharp. I'm placing my order as soon as I get an answer back from Warrior on a local distributor.

Picked up my front bumper from Warrior this week. Can't wait to see it on. The auto-body guy who's fixing my collision damage was impressed with the workmanship, and he's really picky.

b16a90teg, can you tell me anything about the new rear bumpers? Are they going to have a real full-rated hitch available?

freegdr

how much are they?

dogger15

i know a guy that builds bumpers.... just click below

b16a90teg

Plinker, truthfully I highly doubt we will be adding a hitch to it. But then again I've been known to be wrong. They haven't started designing it yet so I will run that by them.

Glad you liked the workmanship of the bumper. Which one did you end up ordering? With or without a winch? Grille guard?

plinkerneil

Hey, my wish list is a Class III hitch and a good protected place to mount a couple of 55W back-up lamps.

I got the 561. That's no winch, no guard, just D-ring tabs and it comes with the unibody ties. I like the nice clean look, and Warrior's is one of the few that will wrap around the sides and don't require cutting the quarter panel on the older body style.

If you want a "stock" look than warrior us it but all other companies listed in that previous are great! I have a nates 4x4 and love it!
