Sometimes you can find a stock bumper for free on the forum. If you are looking to upgrade check at the LoD Armor-Lite bumper. It's 33lbs, stamped from one piece of metal, and is under $500. Chris from JeepAdOns can hook you up!!

Good excuse to go ahead and upgrade to a nice steel bumper! I'm using Pavement Ends front bumper. Optional winch mount, very strong, super affordable @ $200!

The cheapest thing to do is pull out a sawzall and do a bumper chop to make it a stubby. I have a nice little dent on my bumper from snuggling a little to close to a tree last summer. I'm probably going to chop it sometime this month.

Alright guys thanks I'll put a picture of the damage tomorrow (it's not bad but it is a good reason to get a new bumper) like I said pics and web sites would be great
