I told my shop that I wanted a winch bumper, so they got me one. They did tell me what it was but that was a long time ago and I don't remember. It came powdercoated black with no hooks/lights etc. I put those on it. People keep asking me what kind it is and I don't know what to tell them. I feel like an idiot saying "i Dont know."

If you guys have any idea please let me know.
Thanks!

....where's the winch?

[jbjustin]

Thats a pretty sweet bumper, Ill be in the market for a bumper once my new lift and tires are installed.
One question: How many inches from the front grill to the front of bumper. It also looks like the winch would be tucked in some, but its hard to tell without a winch installed.

I love the bumper, it is INCREDIBLY strong and bend resistant. I have put it through absolute HELL. Uh, as far at underbite, I'm not sure, I'll have to measure it tomorrow if I can remember. I'm pretty sure none of it hangs below the grille...

i like the bottle opener too, but it opens an interesting can of worms, good thing you have to get out to use it i guess...

Thought about mounting it in the middle of the steering wheel for convenience reasons, but didn't want it to hit me in the face if the airbag ever pops...


^ again, kidding. It wouldn't match my interior...

I installed the same bumper today. Harder to take the old bumper off then install the new one. I wish it fit the lines on the side a little better, but from the front it looks awesome. Did you install the hooks, mine does not have holes in that location, I have holes where you have your lights.

I think some people forget the added rigidity you get from one of these bumpers front and rear. Nothing ties the two unibody rails like these types of bumpers. The strength of the factory bumpers is a joke, they area about as strong as the gutters on your house. I know I feel a lot safer with the new front and rear bumpers. The rear C4x4 is a lot heavier than it looks!

[Mitchell1789]

I got the hooks from advanced auto for $10 each... Yeah, I loove the extra long unibody tie-ins that these bumpers have. They are INCREDIBLY strong. Have you tried hi-lifting your jeep from the bumper yet? I haven't, but I might tomorrow...

ha.. damn i know what you mean, i spent 600 bucks on books this semester. Depressing as hell when i think what i could of spent that on.

[Mitchell1789]

$750=Textbooks=lame=boring

OR

$750= Winch+Syn. line= lots of gas to go wheeling, get stuck and use the winch!


You make the decision. I didn't have a choice.

Yes, the winch sits down inside the bumper. Here's an old shot of my rig with the standard C4x4 winch bumper, winch is a Warn XD9000i.
