does anyone know where to get the or-fab whinch bumper with the grille hoop. And does anyone have any pictures of it? thanks

 

i like this bumper also, and its pretty strong. dont let the look fool ya. a bus pulled out n front of me and i caught is on the front drivers side, bent the loop in and bashed my flare. but no body or fender damage. glad i had it. if no, probably would have totaled my rig, bus was flying. after words, took off the flares, both sides to make it even, then got a buddy with a torch and a BF steel bar, heated up the loop and pulled it back to factory, then touched it up with some spray liner, good as new. and i like the look of my rig without the flares now too

 

I suggest the smittybilt xrc stinger with winch option. Should be under $300 in the next couple months.

 

Check out the smittybilt line

 

PureJeep Bare Bonez Combo ($329.00 at 4 wheel Parts) and Smittybuilt XRC8 ($2.99 at the same place)

I'm still digesting the "I'm only 16" line.... LOL The Bumper comparison thread is going to be the fastest and most complete way for you to see all or at least most of your options. Some new ones out there but not too many. Try the search feature for Bumper comparison and it should show up. Sorry I'd link it to my post but it's all I can do to turn my computer on let alone do that.

BTW, I have the RR XHD with Hoop and Skid plate and love it.

 

No D-rings, hooks are optional, though. Rugged Ridge Stubby Tube and a Warn M8000. ~$850 all in.

I've been eyeing the RR XHD model. You can more or less build it the way you want.

bugs arent bad at all. this is the 1971 i started with

 

As for the bumper, have younseen pictures of the jk's with the cut stock bumpers? Definitely the cheapest option out there and they look pretty cool. I think that I'm gunna end up doing this and spend my $$$ on rails before I buy a new front bumper.
