Talked to a buddy that has a connection at crysler thru is wrecking Yard, He can get me the Mopar front winch mount bumper, and Rock rail with tube side step for $1500 taxes in Should I go for it, he said he would stick with mopar rather tan aftermarket, for the couple hundred more?? What do you guys think?

 

That still seems upwards of good prices.....I've seen people selling the Mopar bumpers for $400.....

I personally like the aftermarket market items as there is a lot more variety and most items are built in a one or two person fab shop, built to order, so you know there is some personal craftsmanship in it, unlike Mopars production line.....

That being said, I have a Mopar bumper, and like it......but I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't looking at other alternatives to opening up the approach angles though.

If you like the stylings of that equipment and believe you are are getting a good deal through your research, then go for it definitely.....you build your Jeep to suit your needs, thats the great thing about it!!

 

dealer pricing on mopar winch bumper $683.oo 3 days out

 

Yeah thats the price I got for the bumper and 697 For the rock rails all dealer price

 

For that price you could get a Shrockworks mid width bumper, it also comes with a front skid plate. The Mopar one is sweet as well, and I think they make it with fog light holes now. Here's a link you may want to check out.

And the Shrockworks site. I spent alot of time on this site when making my choice.

I'm really happy with my bumper as well. I think I made a good choice. LoD makes a stubby with fog light holes now. I like it. they didn't make it when I bought mine. Here's the link.

Have fun choosing

 

That is a great thread with the bumpers. Wow, I can't believe the Warn one is 155 lbs!!!!!

 

I can. The winch bumper I am fabbing is starting to get some weight to it. Hopefully I will have a grand unveiling at the overland run....

 

Looking forward to seeing it.

 

That warn thing is heavier than the Arb system.....geez......you'd need a spacer block in the front to compensate for the weight....wow.

 

I have a 3/4" spacer to comensate for the weight of my LoD and superwinch.
