I was looking at this picture of a Border Patrol JK and noticed what looks to be a nice metal skid attached to the stock bumper. Anyone seen these in person? Any idea what it would cost to make something like this and would it be worth doing? It would definitely put my desire for a new front bumper/skid on the back burner and do other stuff if it was a good alternative.

 

I think you could have that fabricated at a local shop in a heartbeat.

 

Good idea.

 

Yeah, it looks simple enough to make/have made.

 

I believe that the government( Chaney) gets them under contract with Haliburton. About $35,000.00 each......

 

Why a Rubicon?

 

Why not?

 

Okay... I just read "Border Patrol"
Normal, they have to go in the wood to chase the immigrants out of the country

 

you guys north of the border must understand the AMERICAN way of government- talk cheap, buy the most expensive piece of equipment available with borrowed money that the taxpayers are responsible for paying back......gotta laugh 'cause it's so sad

 

From what it sounds like from other National Guard members that deployed to the border in my unit, I'd say they probably need the Rubicon. But they didn't need the H1 I kept hearing stories about.
