Default Where can I find a barebones rear bumper?

My stock bumper got trashed this summer.

I can find tubular bumpers for less than $200, but they leave the frame ends exposed and that's not a good idea in my book since the roads get salted here. I'd hate to see the frame rust from the inside out.

I have seen basic rear bumpers for TJs for less than $200. The same bumper from the same manufacturer goes for over $350 for a JK.

I'm looking for something similar to whats in this sale thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...-Custom-Bumper

Any ideas?

I've never seen a bumper for a JK advertised for $200 or less. I'd suggest trying to find a local guy who does work on the side to build you one.
