Default Am I crazy?

Would you spend $900.00 dollars on a front bumper for your Jeep? And what about $500.00 dollars on the rear. I like the ARB bumpers alot but I am having a hard time justifying the price. I also like the Mopars which can be had for a little cheaper. By the way, I am only interested in the full width front bumpers.

i most likely wouldn't spend 900.00 for a bumper but thats me, if a 900.00 bumper makes you happy and its well built then i say go for it. we are here for a good time not a long time

I don't think you crazy. But I am think I might be, I am looking towards $1250 for my front bumper.

And haven't even began looking towards the rear bumper yet.

well add me to the crazy list, I REALLY want the fab four front bumper or the mopar a close 2nd....its hard to really say ok to the one I like more at double the price and I read somewhere that the lights that come with the fabfour have leak issues with water getting in them....anyone else hear that? the one thing I'm not crazy about on the mopar is the look of the tow hooks

Amen to that!

Yeah, I know some of you have spent more for bumpers, but some of you also have unlimited budgets. I could probably stomach the $1400.00. Plus, I plan to keep the Jeep for a while so it would be well spent.

No unlimited budget here!

This stuff is going to kill me in the short term, But..........

IT MUST BE DONE!

But like you, I intend for this JK to be my last investment towards vehicular fun. I plan on having it a very very long time.

Just be glad you're not in Australia...the ARB bumpers are made over here and cost the equivalent of US$1277!!!!!

Crazy!!

But I bought one anyway and I love it.
