Angry Feeling ripped off

Last spring I bought a 10th anniversary Rubicon. One of the features was a winch ready front bumper. What a load of crap! Checked today and the winch mount that you have to use with that bumper is 450 dollars. The winch mount for the regular Wrangler front bumper is only 260.

Maximus-3.com also has some cool 10A bumper mods.

You're looking at it wrong. It's not like you bought a 30k dollar bumper from mopar, just that bumper happens to be what's on your jeep. My jeep could've come with a cereal box for a bumper and I'd have paid the same amount.

It's called "add on sales".

Just got my Rusty's. Not impressed. Nothing like the maximus 3, can only return for store credit.

Default i can understand not being happy about that

no bumper being on there would be winch ready too ! just a way to suck us in to thinking were getting more for are money , when in fact its gona cost you more . live and learn i guess

id ditch the whole dam bumper ! sell it and say winch ready bumper for sale lol you have the paper backing it up ! then buy a steel one thats all ready winch ready
