The last winch bumper I bought was from L&L which I don't think is operating that well anymore. Been looking at some from JCR but would like to go cheaper and not DIY. Any good direction to start looking?

Good bumpers aren't cheap. Check out Ares Fabrication

JCR's are on my wish list. They are 45 minutes away. Can pick them up.

Rigidco Mines held on by 26 grade 8 bolts it isn't going anywhere I added a dirtbound hoop to mine. I paid 400 for it. It's taken several hard hits from rocks and has been hit by a car tearing the car open like. Tin can and paint was the only thing that was scratched on the bumper

whats cheap?
what jcr unit are you considering?
i use this unit everyday and its cheaper and stronger than the jcr vanguard (i honestly dont know, but 1/4 center with 3/16 outers is more than the 3/16 jcr complete)
http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/cart/xj...h-style-p-681/
and if your going for a prerunnery style it looks killer
Georgia is kinda far from phoenix so i dont see you picking it up in person like i did.
here is it installed on my rig with all my lights going. (the only pick i had that shows off the bumper)
i had a white truck back up into it in a parking lot and it saved my jeep (look for big scrape on drivers side) it messed up that truck's bed really hard.

$300-$400 range preferably. Gotta take a winch too. Like to be able to add some kind of led lights and of course D-Rings. I also perfer them to come in bare metal so I can change them if need be
