What's up CF!?

so, today i went to the 4 wheel parts customer
appreciation day in Raleigh.. and surprisingly won the raffle
award & got myself a free XRC8 8,000LBS winch..

I have a xj, and i need to find a cheap bumper..
i don't have much money, i am a high school senior
getting ready to graduate.. i pay for all my stuff.
and live with my girlfriend so money can be a pain in
the ***** sometimes.

anyways, i went online did some research and
came across this...

http://www.detoursusa.com/xjbackbone.php

Anyone heard of these guys?
I saw some links, and so far they have gotten
great reviews but i just want to see a few more
opinions before i go ahead and buy it.

Let me know, thank you!

 

If your looking for cheap, i have had this one for a little more than a year, I have put it through hell and back and still strong. ( with the same winch).

Although I knoe someone with the detours backbone and it is high quality and i love the clean winch mount look.

 

that bumper does look good.
is this the price you got it for?! and free shipping?
i might have to go with this one!

Thank you!

 

check out l&lfabrication...leonard on here started selling winch bumpers on cf and now made a business out of it. cant beat the price and the bumper ! you will have to wait though, cuz he makes as you order and hes been busy lately. i should be getting my anyday now..was told 3-4 weeks. check him out.

Yup, at the time I was on a tight budget, its the main reason I bought it.

 

Man those look soo good!
It's worth the money and the time.. but..
where do i mount the winch? are they're preholes?!
or do i have to drill myself?

 

For the few bucks more I would get the L&L.







Was under 300$ shipped with 12 Grade 8 bolts.

This is a nice bumper for a good price too!

 

Congrats man! I was there trying to get that damn thing. Didn't have my rig there cause its currently on jacks in the driveway. I'd get the one from leonard. You know he's only about 2 hours from you and you could make the drive to pick it up and not have to pay shipping costs. That's what I'll be doing here in a few weeks. Also, if you're looking for some more XJ's in your area, hit me up. I've got a few guys just north of Raleigh that I go wheeling with. I'm home for the summer in Wake Forest so you're not too far from me.

 

Yes if you can pick it up thats awesome. It would be 200$, and there is not a comparable bumper out there for the price or even double.

 

Exactly!

 

Minus the hardware but he has that for 25$ Which is still cheaper then at the hardware store.

 

Detours makes good sturdy products give Mark a call and he'll help you out.
