i like the currie shorty front. looks just like the smittybilt but its a shorty. i guess if the smittybilt didn't look too long that would be a nice setup. may would go with the procomp front (looks just like smittybilt) just because they have powdercoat instead of textured paint and i like the powdercoat look.

i love the currie bumper too, but for $259.00 plus shipping its a little high. it still does not have recovery points and you have to add a fairlead mount for a winch which is $99.99. i figured i'd give the Smittybilt bumper a try for $106.00, worst case im out that. the smittybilt is a little longer than i really wanted too, but with the width of the 35s it looks fine. once i get a winch on it and some fog lights i think it will look great!. i still have to buy a winch plate but those can be found for around $50.00.

Call up 4wd.com they will usually honor the older sales. This is a special the has been running for the last few months off and on. I ordered mine last week. If they won't do it see if you can speak with KELLY the internet manager she has helped me out a lot.

GOOD LUCK

Can't wait to get mine ordered when i ordered my new Mickey MTZs (in 33" flavor) with black soft 8s. Lift going on tomorrow and saturday.

well I installed the parts that I had!!!!!!! they "said again" the rest will be here will be tomorrow. If that happens I will post some pics of the complete setup. I really like this bumper setup, VERY STURDY, it ties into the frame and cross member very well. doing the frame tie ins took some doing though. You have to bend the rear body seams and there is NO room to work in under there.

and I said earlier I would post some current pics of my rig, so here are those too.







and here is my old bumper....IT"S FOR SALE!!!!!

That sucks guy's. I still waited a week for my missing parts. You'd think with all the missing part problems there having they'd check the box's prior to shipping.

No.....wait. That would make too much sense

no s--t!! I ordered mine on the 1st and it is STILL not here ....sorry yours isn't too.

well at least I got the hardest part done, the carrier is easy to put on. the bumper wasn't "hard" just time consuming, it took me about 2 hours to put on the new bumper and take off my old bumper.
