Smittybuilt bumper?

zfinger · Nov 25, 2005

Well I'm looking at the Smittlebuilt brush gaurd. I like the look but I have a few questions.

First off I already ordered a Draw-tite front hitch, and am planning on adding a Mile Marker 8K pound winch with the receiver mount to the front of the Jeep. So the questions are, will the Smittlybuild clear the hitch and the winch? And what the hell does the Smittybuilt mount to? And does it have any structual integrity or is it a flimsy show-off POS?

All show, no go. It will share mounts with a front receiver, ie: it won't work.

Does anyone make something similar that mounts to something else? I'm trying to keep my stock bumper, and I dont want anything to big or flashy. TIA

What are you looking for? Strength? If you don't replace your bumper and are trying to use a receiver, you're stuck with flimsy and cheap.

Yup, thats I had a feeling thats what I would get for an answer. Thanks for saving me $150 and a PITA!
