Default Rampage Front Recovery Bumper

I'm getting a new bumper here in a few days (Hit a deer, pocketing the insurance money and going with something more "deer-rpoof") and i've had my eye on this bad boy




She sure is pretty, but has anyone tested her out? Can she walk the walk too?

Default airflow concern

I like the bumpers that drop the winch down to help with cooling, but that one looks sweet. My other concern is if you ever change fenders that bumper won't match up. Just my thoughts, I'm still deciding on bumpers too.

I love it. I got one back when the only place you can get them was on Ebay.

Here's another thread:

I have lights installed now too. I'll look for a more updated photo...



Not the best pic but just taken a few days ago.

Its big, sturdy, well built, and really HEAVY......did I mention heavy ?!?!

My only gripe is the finish, mine looks like paint not PC and after two upstate NY winters its showing signs of rust pretty bad...I almost want to say they didn't prep the steel before painting or maybe didn't clean well enough or something...









I have a LoD shorty w/stinger bought and paid for, as soon as it shows up the Rampage comes off......

I've only seen them, painted color matched, but they're nice bumpers and appear to be very stout. They also match up very nicely with bushwacker flares.
