After getting turn down from saguaro4x components, im in the hunt of finding a front bumper for sale. The bumpers are discontinued due to "overly difficult to build, stock, and ship". I knew I should've bought one last year. 
If anyone knows of any for sale, a heads up would be gratefully appreciated.

Update..
I gave jeepin by al an email asking about the bumpers over the weekend. I got a reply saying they "scraped the bumpers", i find that very hard to believe? Also i figured i'd ask if i could get any deals if i bought all of the skids all at once and throw in a tee shirt... Right? Well Brent Halteman gave me all top prices for everything... Looks like you won't see anymore 4xguard parts on my rig. :cheap asses:

So you expected a package deal plus a tshirt and they said no.......so you bad mouth them on a public forum? I imagine if they gave packaged deals and free tshirts to everyone they wouldn't make any money......From what I have seen JBA does great work and is a big supporter of the WK.

Yes, so i bad mouth them. if they were such a big supporter of the wks they would give a guy a break on their over priced skids.

With the limited company's making parts for you guy's all some of you do is complain about prices,just like the KJ people.If you had any idea how much labor is involved in making these parts on a limited scale you'd understand.Steel ain't cheap and niether is labor.
Make your own stuff then you can complain.I could have kept my mouth shut all those months ago and you'd have one less supplier of WK aftermarket parts,well actually 2 as RRO wouldn't have anyone to copy off of.

Agreed, and the pricing hasn't changed much since 4xG introduced these skids. The parts they protect are much more expensive than the skids, so still a bargain for the peace of mind offroad. Plus they're high quality.

Back when 4xG was its own company under Russ they used to offer package deals, so it isn't a ridiculous question to ask the new owner! The price of the armor has gone up over the years, but that is only because of the increasing price of steel. Lucky for us there are a few other companies making skids and other products for us now, and I am sure we will continue to see more over the next couple years. That sucks that they scrapped the S4xC bumpers! Those were worth a pretty penny!!!
