Hey,

I'm looking to get a new front and rear bumper. I've got a winch that needs to be kept mounted in the front, and I need a tow-hitch (with towing capabilities, not just for accessories) and preferably with D-rings in the back.

I'm really wondering what a TJ looks like with a tubular in the front, and a regular in the back.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

i would stay awat from tubes bumpers for the front, they are weak and do nothing

^ x2 tube fenders are completely useless. Ive been looking at the Highrock 4x4. I dont have any pics but heres the links to the quadratec listing.
Front: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12050_000_07.htm

Rear: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12050_200_07.htm

In the quadratec magazine I know there is a deal for both for like $700 not sure how good of a deal that is.

Is there anything else you want out of your front bumper other than winch capabilities? I kept stock front, chopped it, used a warn winch plate, and attached tow hooks to the stock mounting locations. It's got everything I need and saved a bunch of $$$ by not buying an aftermarket bumper. Just my $0.02

i think i'm going to go with the SRC Classic Rock Crawler bumpers (front and back) for $159 each- but then 4WD.com has a $60 rebate, making it $200 for both!

front mounts a winch as well as d-rings, and back does d-rings and a multiple-thousand pound rated hitch.

sounds beautiful by me.

thanks all for your input

I know you've made a decision already, but here's an image of a front tube bumper for anybody's future reference. I do agree that they aren't very strong and would only be recommended for aesthetics which is why I plan to replace mine (bumper came with the Jeep when I bought it).

I love this guys! It's so simple that it's classic!

But, my opinion would be to go Olympic. I know some don't like them, but I've been pleased so far.

ok... very nice job on the stock bumper.. i have to say thats pretty sweet! (maybe this will help-->) here is a pic of my jeep.. im currently runnin tube on front and rear.. not my brightest idea!!!! i really like the look of the tubes but they honestly suck for everything else.. as of right now im fabbin me some new bumpers cuz i cant stand these any more. they have NO decent tow spots and they just dont cut it for anything else. getting anything other than tubes will be good. i wish i had just stayed stock and chopped it like the one above (once again very nice job on the stocker! )

Hey Guys,

I ended up getting a Rampage Recovery front bumper:


for $400 landed.

I like the looks, the fog lights came free w/ it, and it's a nice smaller-sized stinger.

Thanks guys for your input!

[KodiakBuzz]

id also get that but 400 is too much for me.
