Guys -- I'm looking at picking up some Bushwacker pocket style flares, and would like to know who's running them and with what bumpers...pics would be awesome....I would like to get a bumper where the farthest corners of the flares meet with the farthest corners of the bumper...anyone have any ideas what bumpers would meet those dimensions...and again any photos will help. Thanks!

 

from what i have seen, the ARB and AEV full width bumpers look the best with the pocket style flares.

 

Are both of those bumpers pretty good quality? do you know if there's any pictures in the threads anywhere?

 

There is a show your ARB bumpers thread I know for sure.

 

yes, both are really nice bumpers. here's a shot of the ARB bumper on our orange JK with stock flares...



here's the AEV bumper...



i'll see if i can find any pics with both the pocket flares and the bumpers

 

You guys rock -- can always count on the administrators/members here to help me out. And i know that the pocket flares don't get the best reviews by everyone..but to each their own and I think they look pretty sweet....and that ARB bumper looks SICK!

 

okay, here's a shot of the two

 

is that last post of the ARB?

 

no, that last one is the AEV

 

Hey, brother. I'm running Rampage Recovery Bumpers both front and rear, and I'm pretty happy with them. They're sturdy as hell, come with clevis D-rings, and the front bumper allows you to use your factory fogs. The rear bumper has lights you can put in, but are sold separately. I like the Rampage bumpers because they're kind of rare on the Forum; I don't see them all that often. Plus, they line up great with the Bushwacker Pocket Flares. Also, the Rear Recovery Bumper is available with or without the swing-away tire carrier. I chose not to get it, and I'm kicking myself in the ass now... (Or-Fab makes a universal tire / Jerry can carrier, so it worked out to my advantage.) Sorry my pix are crappy and that the Jeep is so dirty; welcome to winters in PA! Anyway, the last pic shows how well they lined up with my factory fenders before the Bushwackers. Good luck!
