which winch bumper?

[katuah]

If money were no object, I'd get the OR-Fab, but it is very costly. The Logan's is a good compromise, I like 'em with the prerunner bar. There's a guy near here who makes nice looking slim winch bumpers sort of like the AJ's, but he doesn't do tube so you can't get a bar added unless you take it elsewhere or add it yourself, which kind of defeats the purpose behind buying one instead of building your own.

If money were no object, I'd take the staang one and add a hoop for lights.

id go with logans. ill probably be ordering one before the winter. theyre also local to me so i can go pick it up which will same me money. and the lady who answered a while back when i called was very nice. and service scores big points with me. and the price is right

Heyy, thats my xj with staangs bumper on it. Anyways bumper is awesome. Strong and his service is great. Highly recommended. Just got his rear bumper and front long arms installed too.

 

[DoctorPhate]

How are the long arms? I was thinking about picking up his kit. Not sure about the rear bumper yet, I'm going to wait until its rated for towing.

Its only been a few days but it makes a huge difference . The ride is muuuch better and it handles awesome. Plus it looks bad a**. Havent had the chance to take it on the trails yet, but theres a lifetime warranty on them.

Either Mark's Backbone winch bumper

-OR-

Have him make you one of these. I forgot the cost but it was very reasonable...and yes it ties into the same spots that most of the winch bumpers on here do. The passenger side looks a tiny bit off in the last pic....but you can see that it's my front quarter that's squashed....

Mark's a great guy to deal with....tell him Ben sent you....he's a good cat

im pretty sure i know who used to own that rig

 

[deeeeetroitXJdude.]

Has anyone had their winch bumper zinc coated to fend off rust, or do any of the big names do that?

Arb, warn ?

I love my AJs bumper, it took me about 6 weeks from design to finish. If you go to www.ajsoffroadarmor.com its the "PreRok" bumper.

 

[andrew2516]

I've had C4x4 and Rigidco...I like them both, I liked the way the rigidco looked better. I will say that I have hit a few deer with the new bumper and I'm glad it has a brush guard because I think I would have been doing some body work otherwise. They both bolt up very similar.

Heres my C4x4 winch bumper:

and heres the Rigidco:

 

[Keekleberrys]

Not one to rehash an old thread, but do you have any side pics of the above two bumpers that show the approach angle a little better.

 

[SpencerKemp]

I found this bumper in mexico AJ's said they would they would make it for me and beef it up and make it 4X4 capable.

 

[xjcannon]

Im really liking this bumper.
