Well I got a laugh out of the product description anyway. "a better approach angle for flexing" lol

 

Anything for a few more points on the RTI Ramp BUT no I think its a good bumper nice for it's price for sure. It looks like it ties in with a lot of bolts so it shouldn't be coming off. I have also always been a fan of the TNT Fabrications bumper. http://www.tntcustoms.com/Jeep/Chero..._Bumperxj.aspx

 

For the price it's hard to beat. From the looks of the mounts but I would want more front crossmember braces

 

Have you looked at some of our vendors on here?

 

I was going to buy that until I realized that the hole where the roller fairlead for the winch is isnt centered.

It would drive me mad looking at my front bumper and not having my winch centered.

I ended up buying a JCR DIY bumper and I love the thing.

 

I know this is the bumper I'm going to buy. I love the look and even better than the look is the price.

 

mmmhmm....

 

ya i like alot of the bumpers from the vendors on here but the price to product is getting me on the rough country one.

 

Serious Offroad carries the Smittybilt XRC winch bumper. Nice price point on it and a forum discount.
Make sure you compare shipping cost as well.

 

Before you buy it see if you can find a picture of the back side see how its braced,And find out what thickness steel its made from also.Reason i bring it up is not all bumpers are built the same and its better to get one built better.

 

I had the RC bumper on my 96 XJ and I loved the way it looked, but after seeing that TNT bumper.... Good Lawd!

 

After you add the price for the stinger and the D-ring mounts you'll be paying roughly the same amount as the TNT. The RC is boxed frame if that's what you're looking for. But the TNT is lighter. I also like how the TNT is an all welded design. I don't really care much for the bolt together bumper...

Pick your poison.

 

only plus side on the RC is i wouldnt have to pay shipping

 

X2

I would not trust a bolt on stinger to do anything but snap off.
