Hanson Offroad: JKFL1502-P: JK EURO SPEC FULL WIDTH FRONT WINCH BUMPER, JK Front Bumpers

This is the full-width.
I have the mid-width, with the steel lower plate. (Powder coated, no extra charge).
I use the fair lead mount to hold my license plate, until I get a winch.

 

JCR Vanguard $859 bare, $980 with powder coat

ARB without fogs $729

ARB with fogs $953

I was really into the JCR but am now leaning a bit towards ARB, I've got plenty of time though to decide because I haven't the money for it yet. I suppose I'm a little odd but I want front and rear bumpers to be from the same company to keep look continuity.

 

I am in North Texas! Stock bumper I assume? Sahara with the silver cover by chance? PM sent!

 

Thanks for all of the suggestions!
Collyn has the best option at this point... Lowest cost and satisfies what my wife actually wanted.

Otherwise if that doesn't work out I'm really leaning toward the WARN bumper. As was mentioned in one post, it would be nice to do both front and rear bumpers at the same time, but funds dictate otherwise.

 

ARB stuff is sweet for the money

 

So I started to pull the bent bumper and as soon as I got the plastic lower air damn off I said DAMN! The beam crossing between the two frame rails is bent out on the opposite side of the impact... Which to me indicates the frame rail is bent to some degree... Something I'm not equipped to fix.. So looks like it's off to the body shop...

 

Post a pic. If you are describing the sheet metal bumper, behind the plastic bumper cover, that is no big deal and was probably part of your initial quote. Post up some pics so we can see what you are talking about.

 

I'll get a pic of it. This is a piece that runs across between the frame rails... The two tabs on the plastic lower air dam screw into this bar. Pretty sure I saw a video where this got cut off when installing an aftermarket bumper and skid plate.

This picture is the damage to the bumper. I'll have to get a pic of the bar I'm referring to, but it's below the bumper... It's bowed out opposite of where the bumper is pushed in, which is what concerns me frame wise.

 

That pic isn't helping.

Are you referring to part number #3 in this diagram?

with all these women folk driving it you may want to invest in a few hundred pounds of solid angle iron armor for the new bumper

what? its not a stereotype when its true!

srsly, get a steel bumper, and weld on some angle iron armor, that way the crap she runs into next time takes all of the force and the bumper survives!

edit: i must have that jcr vanguard, its f***in beautifull, ******** 1200 bucks with options on it, ouch!
