Default Bumpers...

I'm looking for front and rear bumpers... Under 700.00 shipped.

From my searches, it's the rear bumper that pushes me over. Does anyone have any suggestions for a front and rear bumper in my price range?

Thanks for the input and suggestions.

Glen

I don't know about the rear bumper, but I have the Pavement Ends front bumper and I love it, light weight and easy to install, and it's cheap!

I too use the Pavement Ends front bumper, I'm very happy with it. Strong enough to abuse, and @ $200, sweet bumper. For the rear, I went on Ebay from E autoGrilles and got a SmittyBilt XRC style bumper. $335 shipped. Total I paid for front/rear came out to $550 or so, for two great bumpers I can actually use! There is a Whole thread on here concerning the E auto grilles bumpers, almost everyone has great things to say about them, I'll be a return customer in the future.

Check out the e-autogrilles on eBay. Thats what I'm leaning towards.
Here's a thread with jk user feedback on the bumpers... https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...nkable-209573/

I ended up ordering the Pavement Ends from quadratec - free shipping for jk-forum members. That made my order 199.99. and I ordered the suggested rear bumper for 335.00, shipped.


Thanks for your suggestions. I will post some pictures when I have them installed

cool! you'll be happy with both, easy as it gets as far as install for both too. No instructions come with the rear, but pretty self explanatory. I installed both on my own because I was anxious to get em on, but an extra set of hands would really help out for installing the rear with how heavy it is.

Does anybody have a sideview pic of the Pavement Ends rear bumper? Quadratec has the same picture angle 3x on their website...

It looks like a close copy of the Mopar Offroad bumper.

I see Quadratec has it listed for $209.99...
