Does anyone know of a company or person making heavy duty rear bumpers for ZJs that are not 500 + dollars? I now have a cracked rear bumper and see little logic in replacing it with another plastic bumper. I am seeing some bumpers out there but they are 600 and 700 dollars! I feel this is rediculous as every other bumper out there for every other jeep (TJ, XJ, etc.) is in the 300 - 400 dollar range. Anyone have some ideas?

GC bumpers are more expensive then SWB jeeps. My guess is because theres more to them then the smaller bumpers on a tj or yj. Your not going to find one for $300 unless you go and fab it up or have a friend who can.
