AFTERMARKET Front Winch Bumpers!!!

NOT CUSTOM.....show me who's bumpers you're running. I've looked at Hanson, BPI, TNT, C4x4 and Warn but I'm only "meh" about them. The ones from Hanson look really nice but they're a bit pricey. Same with ARB actually.....anyways, show me what ya got!

I have a protofab bumper. I got it used from a guy in my local jeep club for like $250. It just needs a winch!

I wasn't crazy about the bar, but for that price, I couldn't pass it up.

Here's the Warn bumper with a Warn 9.5 ti mounted on it. I love the set up but it was pretty pricey.

I have had some VERY hard pulls from it and have yet to rip it off. I also pulled a 8500 pound f350 with a load of wood up a hill by it, it is very sturdy. Runs over trees well too...lol

I really like the rock hard bumper, because of the expandable winch plate. Any opinions?

No plate.

Plate, no winch

Plate/winch

How's the plate bolt on? I hope it's more than just those 4 tiny bolts.

its a C4x4. I got it from jeepin outfiters aka jeeping jason guy

http://jeepinoutfitters.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=356

Word of advice. order it bare metal, save 40 bucks and buy som herculiner and do it yourself. that was the ONLY thing that wasnt perfect about mine. It wasnt BAD though, just a could little chips in the coating. (as in when i took it out of the box)

oh and what eve bumper you get you should get a Steering box brace to prevent future problems.

I got it from C-rok. I think it was like 75 bucks for the kit.

(blue part is the brace)

I think it is, but they're grade 8, and hopefully huge.
