i have a garvin wilderness rear bumper and although its not the prettiest thing out there it is built like a brick outhouse. it has a built in receiver, and 2 clevis tabs. it holds my 37 on a 17 inch steel wheel, my 48" hi-lift and has tabs for ax, shovel and assortment of racks and jerry can holders. the henge has a zerk and it latches smooth as silk.

Here is the pic sorry it does not do allot of justice had to tilt the camera down. Not much room in garage and all my body mounts are loose w/ PB blast dripping everywhere getting ready to do a bl/mml. Its a nice bumper I am sure some are more functional some less but I got a great deal from 4WD Hardware and getting the rear as well. I am happy and that is all that matters

Looks good, I like it, your TJ is white also so its nice to see what it would look like up close! Did it come ready for a winch or do you need the plate?

Will need a plate Holes are in it for universal plate I suppose. I found a pic in a search of one mounted. P.s. I could not believe the packing this thing came in 3ply cardboard box, bubble wrapped bumper and wooden braces on either side

Anyways, I'm interested in getting a new front bumper first, I was thinking the Warn bumper with the grill guard. Also, I want to try to keep it on a budget but I am not afraid of spending a little extra to get something sweet and functional. I want to install winch also so it has to accomodate.

So which bumper do you like and let's see some pics if you got 'em!

A to Z!
Integrated Winch Mount
Boxed (not c-channel)
Winch guard
Shackle Mounts
Provision for lights

LOOKS AWESOME with either stock fenders or tube fenders

For $270

BTW, that is my rig in the picture - and I get compliments on the bumber all the time! (I am not associated with A to Z - besides being a customer)

I have the Highrock 4x4 front bumper. And for me I wanted a rear that had similar lines to the HighRock's and went with the KOZoffroad.

If it hasn't been said, Garvin. A little expensive, but really friggin tough.

Hey ancestral, I have the Garvin rear tire carrier/bumper too, but I haven't mounted it yet. It says it'll only fit 35s, but I notice you have 37s. I'd figure it'd work if you aired it down, but it doesn't look like it. What gives?

Kilby or Rokmen. If I knew about the Rokmen merc gt before I got the kilby, I would have gone that route. Guess I have to wait till the next TJ.
