If they made that bumper mountable without cutting i would pay TOP dollar for it. I geuss OR fab is getting my money for a rear. Now i need to find a front i like. I woulda bought both bfh bumpers next week if i didnt need to cut...

I dont like the big thick bumpers that are coming out. Its a jeep not a one ton truck.

I got the rear PSC BFH bumper, and it's at the powder coaters right now. So what if you have to cut the frame cross member in half basically, since you'll be reinforcing the frame with the new bumper... in the end it will be stronger than when it just had the shitty plastic bumper.

Why not go w/ the RockBrawler. Mine reqd no mods, other then drilling one addl hole for the mounts (on pssr side I believe). Looks great & will be worth the wait. PSC's products & the guys/gals are great, BTW. Just my 2 cents...

No pics yet. I used an industrial paint that is used for coating the frames of tractor trailers- with some body colored custom work around the spider cut out and shackle tabs.

If they made it mountable without cutting it would not be built for the hammers (BFH).


They designed it for hardcore trails like the Hammers hence the name BFH ( Built for Hammers) where departure angles and just enough coverage is key.
