Looking for feedback and reviews on the JCR bumpers before I purchase.
Thanks all!

Default You won't be disappointed.

I have the JCR Dagger stubby (with Prerunner) up front and the Crusader mid width in the back. The build quality is great and the fitment was spot on.

I also have their classic rock sliders. Adding the Adventure Tire Carrier next.

I had them powder coat everything for me rather than painting them myself, so that does add to the cost. If you order direct, I think they almost build to order. But they are also selling these out of Quadratec, Northridge 4x4 and others, so you might get it faster from a third party retailer.

If you like the design of these bumpers (I do) you won't be disappointed in the quality. Made in the USA. #murica

Have your bumpers been through a winter yet? I was wondering how their powder coat holds up to a northeast salt filled winter???? Or several of them, actually!

I'll let you know in about 3 months.

These are made in Kalamazoo, MI where they also salt the streets. The folks at JCR have done as much as they can to try and get quality powder coat without breaking the bank. Mine have hit a few rocks, so I have a couple scratches in the PC already. I've touched them up with some Rustoleum, so I am hoping it holds.

The previous bumpers I had on (not JCR) started rusting within 2 weeks of putting them on last January. Those had to go.

I'll try and post some pics the next time it clears up enough to hose down the Jeep and wash the salt off. I'm interested to know myself.

I love my JCR Full Sunk, Mid Width bumper. I've smashed it into rocks several times and it requires nothing more than a little touch up paint. I used a primer 'sealer' as my basecoat and then a flat black enamel on top. Easy to paint and touch up. I also think it's a great base to build from. I plan to add a stinger soon and I can simply weld one onto the top and touch up the paint.
