Default Olympic JK front bumper

Has anyone else seen this bumper. I don't know about you, but I think we are all slowly going back to the '80s tubular bumpers.

It looks like one of those huge guards on some R/C jeeps.

HE HE HE HA HA HA

It's funny, you would think they would advertise it with a winch.
Can that even handle a winch?

And look at how light and flimsy it looks.

Moo.

not my cup of tea, i think ill stick with my stocker first.

but if i WHERE to have to push cows around, that would probably do the trick. No sharp edges or such.


Where is Rocky, Bullwinkle, Snidely Whiplash, Boris and Natasha?




EDIT: The more i look at it, the more it looks like it has braces.




no offense to the designer, but *eeep*

Default Ug... What were they thinking??

At least you can hang your muddy clothes from it! That's what happens when bumper designers take 'shrooms. I like the AEV that is nice but pricey!

I really kind of like the tube bumpers on some of the older jeeps, but somehow with the new body style (i guess?) this just looks wrong to me.
