Bumper with no rust finish
Interested in a front/rear bumper, but definitely not interested in one that will develop rust, anyone had a bumper for a while and still satisfied with the finish?

being that you live in a rust belt state, i would recommend getting a bumper in bare steel, prepping and painting it yourself. it is near impossible to get an aftermarket bumper that is powder coated and be a 100% rust free in conditions you see.

I thought I saw an aluminum bumper somewhere, but I couldn't begin to remember where.
I think there is one out there, but I don't know how sturdy it is.
Google search "aluminum off road bumper", and some come up.

Never seen one in person, but the pics sure look nice.

I have a Warn rock crawler front bumper. Paint was terrible. Rust and paint flaked off after one year. Sand blasted it and had it line-x. Did my rock rails too. Could not be happier. When I gat a rear bumper, will have it line-x right off the bat.

It the line-x hard to keep clean? I've noticed it tends to really hold dust and dirt.
