Does anyone have any input on JK bumpers. Being in Utah, I see the Teraflex driving around and am not very impressed. It doesn't look like you can fit anything but a stock tire without having their swingaway.

I called Teraflex and they don't have any pricing yet. It looks like Pure Jeep, Warn, Besttop, and Jeeperman have their prices released. Of those, I really like the look of Jeeperman. I haven't heard much about Pure Jeep and Jeeperman. What's the scoop on those guys?

I just saw prices for the SRC series from Smittybilt. Little change from the TJ versions. I think it was $329 for the front and $459 for the rear with tire swing. Unfortunately it looks to be 6 months before they will be available, and we haven't seen any pictures yet so I don't know if changes in style are neede to accomodat ethe new width and mounts. I think I'm going to wait, though.

The decision was a hard one but I finally settled on Jeeperman bumpers, the Stubby for the front. The people at Jeeperman were very informative about their product, making me feel very good about my decision. Now I just have to wait for the UPS guy.

Wait for the UPS guy? So far as I knew, Jeeperman was still tweeking the design of their stubby front bumper and was under the impression they didn't even have one physically built yet. But, if you know something that we don't, or, better yet, if you get your bumper before anyone else, please post some pics

What he said. They are definitely working on a redesign that isn't straight across up on top.

I called today to see if they have anything and they sent me these pics for their front. I think that I'm going to go with Jeeperman...
