Front Bumpers (pics + research)
Well now that I got into my first accident I suppose it's time for a front bumper. I would like a bumper that possibly has a brushguard, definetly 2 shackle tabs, and definetly a winch mount. I've searched jeepforum and this is what i've come up with:
Hanson Enterprises' Front Bumper: http://www.hansonenterprise.com/jeep.htm  Nice looking bumper, I would definetly consider, but their website says that they don't have an XJ bumper. I tryed calling but kept getting error messages....  Tomken's Front Bumper (w/ brush guard): http://www.tomken.com/  I don't really like the look of the bumper or the brushguard and it doesnt have a winch mount and/or shackle tabs. However you can't beat the price (around $300). ARB's Bull Bar: http://www.arb.com.au/  One helluva bumper. This would probably be my first choice (other than BPI, which doens't produce XJ bumpers anymore...  ) but the price is pretty bad (around $600+)Poison Spyder Customs' Front Bumper: http://www.poisonspydercustoms.com/index2.php  Pretty good looking bumper, nice angle, everything that I want, sorta looks like the BPI one. However the price for one of these bad boys is $618 unpainted. Bah humbug. Custom 4x4 Fabrication's Front Bumper: http://www.custom4x4fabrication.com/front_xj.html  Decent looking bumper, ok price (for the winch bumper, and without the brush gaurd). I may end up with this one.

Trail Ready's Front Bumper:
http://www.trailready.com/jeep_cherokee.html  Nice looking bumper, price sucks ($950). Four Real Steel's Front Bumper: http://www.crawltech.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1395 I don't really like the pre-runner look, and I don't like the price... Rubicon's Front Bumper(s): http://www.crawltech.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=573    I love the look of these bumpers, the price is pretty steep though. They look an awful lot like the Hanson bumpers... Hmm...  Warn's Front Bumper: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/bumper_xj.shtml  I love the warn bumper, but the price is pretty bad. I may end up with the one without the brushgaurd, but still get the shackle tabs, and winch mount. Mmmm nice bumper  That's all the bumpers I found, but I know there are more out there. What i'm looking for is one that looks like the old BPI fab one, doens't necessarily have to have a brush gaurd, must have winchmount and/or shackle tabs. I don't want to get a custom made one from AJ's or else where...not sure why...just don't want one... Any other bumpers that you guys can think of? Right now i'm debating on either the ARB, warn, or C4x4. I have C4x4's rock rails and they are tough as hell, so I know the bumper will be strong too.  Any opinions and/or suggestions would be nice. Thanks.

He said he doesn't want an AJ bumper. It's in his posts above.

The non winch models are getting close to production. I am working on the winch model now, so hopefully those will come along shortly. The non winch model will be under $450, but I don't know the exact price yet. The winch model shouldn't be too much more, maybe $550 with everything the other bumper has except the hitch (shackle tabs, Grade 50 steel, outer steering box brace, black powder coat). I might have a prototype winch bumper in the near future though (hint, hint) As for the website, why do you ask? Is it bad? I have actually built the entire website myself, but the animated lizard was put together for me by CableXJ on Jeepin.com. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but on the M.O.R.E. site they are saying that they are now producing XJ Bumpers that look identical to BPI's. I've heard that MORE bought that aspect of BPI, so you should check there.
