Default replace factory bumper

Anybody know the quality of JCROffroad bumpers. Thoughts? Opinions? Anybody have any personal experience with them. I heard some of them allow you to keep the vac pump without having to relocate. Also would you recommend a budget boost to compensate for the weight of the bumper?

I bought jcr front and rear and love them! Not sure about the budget boost with stock coils though as I put my bumpers on after my lift and heavier duty coils.

From everything I've read when researching my bumpers JCR makes some excellent stuff. I believe they also have a few options for the front bumper that allow you to leave the vacuum pump where it is. Depending on which one you go with you may not need any lift... they have some of the lighter bumpers out there.

That said, I went with OR-Fab and couldn't be happier. High quality everything, and the price was awesome. Did not have to relocate the pump with my front. Would get a lift though or you'll sag... front weighs 85lbs and the rear is 92lbs.

Just posted this a few minutes ago actually. Doesn't really do justice to how solid OR-Fab is, but it's the only contact any other car has made with mine. Other person's fault and her car got pretty mangled up from what she told me over the phone (I wasn't around to see her back into my Jeep).

Pics of the bumpers in my profile if you want to take a look. Good luck.

Our Dagger series will bolt on with no pump modifications.

If you like the looks of our other series better, we do offer a relocation kit (Select the 2012+ option) that will keep it in nearly the same place, but clear our bumper brackets. That option does require you to cut the factory pump mount off however.

If I can help with any questions about our products, or if you just want to say hi , feel free to contact me directly via PM, e-mail, or on the phone at 269-353-1184.
