I found this bumper on ebay the other day and I liked the design and options it had.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33640&item=7943062463&rd=1

- 1997 and newer (wrap around) add $35
- D-ring Brackets add $15
- Hitch add $15
- Remove brush guard subtract $30
- For safety and liability purposes frame Tie-in brackets now REQUIRED with dring and/or hitch options, cost $35.

Would the bumper be a good investment? I am looking for a non-winch with D rings, hitch, and a brush gaurd and thought that with the tie-in brackets it would be frairly strong. Anyone own this/ have any opinions of the quality? If I would buy this bumper I would probably paint it myself, but im not set on that.

Thanks!

The guy that's selling the bumper got his start on this board www.michiganjeepers.com (can't remember his user name)

I've never bought anything from him, but I've never heard anything bad about his products, either. Plus, for the price you can't really go wrong.

Good luck,
Jay

Thanks for the feedback.
Alaskaflyr-if you could pm me or email me with your thoughts of the bumper when it arrives that would be great. I would like to hear if you think it is built well.
Thanks

I am running a front bumper from him. I am happy with it, it did take a long time to get it to me but that is something you deal with if you are having something made. If I were to do it again I would build my own. The brackets only use three bolts on each side so I am building new brackets. It was good for the price but it takes some work to make it really ready to get tugged on.
