2007 JK Unlimited x front bumper mod question
 

Ok I have the Mopar rails and the bigger off road tire mod from the dealer but that is it at this point and I'm diving into my first "real" modification. I want to get a bumber like the Olympic Rescue Bumper but it is not available and I can't get a commitment as to when news ones will be available. Any suggestions on a like bumper?

This is the first jeep and I'm not sure of all the right options but I'm pretty sure I want one that is similar to the clearance and simplicity of this model. I want to use the factory fog lamps as well as add 2 more and I'm debating the winch as there is just basic trails around here. Should I reconsider a bumper with the 2" receiver? I'm not sure what it would be used for unless its so the winch can be removable. Please any advise would be great as I plan next to get the rear bumper and then work on the tires.

price is way different but your recommended bumper comes with skid plate. Need to get the tube separate so overall it's 300 more which explains why this other one is not available due to shortage.

I like this one allot however.

it's 299.99.

Comes with winch and front grill protective tube made from 2" heavy gauge round tubing. Includes two light reflectors, a product is in development to be offered in the near future which will allow you to install O.E.M. fog lamps.It will be sold separately.Manufactured from ¼" solid steel plate steel. Stubby width is only 33 5/8" wide. Available in your choice of three powder coated finishes: Rubicon (textured) Black (4) and High Gloss Black (1). Pre-order yours today for delivery in January.

I'm not sure if the site is a vendor I can mention here. In any case I've seen it locally on a guy that was going 4 wheeling on a 2 door 2004 model and it looked pretty sweet with his 33" tires.

My plan is to get a 2-4" lift but the issue will be cost and what I'm willing to sacrafice over the next year.

$369.00 At Nates4x4

Lod has a model that is also similar but it runs 439.00

661.00 for the shrockworks model.

Seems like the shrockworks is way over priced comparingly. LOD doesn't have the winch guard unfortunately. I guess I can get in line and wait a few months.

At Nates 4x4 you can also add a 2" receiver to the front for only $30 more.:yup:

good catch as I did mean winch plate. I'm gonna go for the shrockrock one. I tried contacting nates to see if it can come painted but no one answered the line.

what about rugged ridge?

and they make end caps and hoops you can attach. I saw them in person when i was getting the rails installed on my Jeep. Looks good and quality is great

LoD is in the R&D phase on a tube for the front and I talked to them a couple months ago so It should not be much longer....The idea from what I remember was to have the tube come high enough to protect hood and radiator in event of a rollover similar to POISON SPYDERS .....I am not sure if it is what you are looking for ???????:cool:

Rock Hard?
