Looking at getting a used Warn front bumoer like this:

http://www.quadratec.com/products/78009_800_07.htm

I have ordered a Rigidco, but its gonna take too long and I hope I might can get my deposit back :eyes:

Anyways a few ?s:

How do these bumpers mount? Pics pleeease?

Can it be mounted over my CROK steering brace plates?

Anyone got a pic of this bumper on a 97+ XJ?

Thanks
 
I have the bumper without the bars on top.

I don't have any good pictures of the bumper, but I can assure you that you will not be dissappointed in the mounting of this bumper.

I have SEVERAL winch pulls (uphill, downhill, and side hills) I've yanked people with it, I once hit a tree at roughly 10 mphs...

the powder coating scratches but the bumper hasn't shifted or dented...

I'm very glad I have it.

I can't comment on the CROK braces.

I noticed a huge difference in rigidity after I installed it.

A ton. A friend had the bumper with grill guard tubes and had to use an engine hoist to set it in place. It's probably close to 200lbs.

so a 3/4" spacer won't make up for it? I don't run a winch btw.
 
When I put a 75 pound ProtoFab bumper on the front of my XJ the front end went down between .5" and .75". Made up for it with a 1 inch spacer. This was on 3 inch rustys lift coils, non HD. The protofab bumper is 1/4" but doesnt have and bars like the warn one has. My guess would be around 90-100 pounds, but that is just an estimate.

You'd be happier with the Rigid Co bumper....just my .02, but I'd wait for Terry. Much nicer bumper and stronger IMO.

I am he said mine is being built 2/3 week of March just in time :party:

The war nbumper weighs 184lbs, thats like 110lbs more :wow:
 
Yeah, I was going to mention, my Rigidco bumper is like 80 lbs. Just a slight difference.
 
Yea, it is heavy but works real well and extremely strong. Here is mine with some additional bars.

I dont't know how much mine weighs...
And really I don't care... 100lbs +/- isn't going to stop me anyway.

You said you were buying it used... If you are getting a good deal on it...run it...you will not be sorry.

My Rigid is being built, I want the best.

best munting system by far
 
We have been very happy with our Warn front winch bumper. We used it for a attachment/recovery point while pulling out other vehicles during our recent snowstorm (Feb. 07) here in Indiana. We also have the matching back bumper. Still saving for the winch...hopefully next summer.
