XRC MOD front bumper
Ok so I have so much i will be doing hopefully soon! I just had a question about this bumper I am eyeballing. Its the XRC M.O.D bumper with all the different things you can throw on. I just found it on craigslist for 275$ is this reasonable for this bumper? what should i look for when i go check it out hopefully tomorrow??

Also, I just won the teraflex ball joint giveaway a few days ago and they are here
should i install those now? My jeep is a 14 jeep and brand new. Im looking to get some 33s, 1.5 inch spacers, and a 2.5 inch lift on soon so IDK if they are needed yet or if I should hold onto them until my stock ones give up, if they even do. I don't do much trail riding/crawling but do drive at least a few hundred miles from SoCal-NorCal for home/school every month. I do however use it for my adventures every few weeks for fishing/hiking/climbing/etc.

-The side plates ( silver ) are just to cover up the small holes on the side of the bumper unless you are adding the mid or full end caps then they are useless. But to be honest with you they aren't really needed for anything other than looks
- The top plates ( also silver ) are for the same thing if you are not running the stinger or bull bar option. I left mine on when i installed my stinger so the plate is just a cushion between the bumper itself and stinger. But again to be honest it makes no difference.

My personal opinion because you will be busy with school and doing some weekend trips ( not much off roading from what i gathered ) is to leave the stock ones until you either A). Install your lift and tires because you will have some of the stuff off already or B). when your stock ones go out and have a spare set waiting to be installed.

Yes thats a reasonable price as it looks new. I am currently running this for the past 1 1/2 yrs without any issues. I do not have a winch installed on it yet but will eventually. I have not heard of any issues with having to relocate the vacum pump with our XRC Mod bumpers and any kind of winches. This is also because this bumper does not sit as far back as some nor require any cutting.

. Ill go ahead and make sure everything is there and whatnot too! I would love the stinger on there as well eventually And my tires and hopefully a lift is going on the jeep like soon and before I leave to school. So the work will be done at a shop. My question really was, should I hand over the ball joints to have them install that as well? Or will I just not need them? Teraflex does mention they are "the last ones you'll ever need". If it doesn't contribute to anything as far as ride quality or performance then I can use that money elsewhere with possibly a chip or something.

Oh nice! thanks for the reply! I do hear the newer bumpers won't need the pump relocated but it will still need drilling i think . Ill go ahead and make sure everything is there and whatnot too! I would love the stinger on there as well eventually

Keep checking man. I ended up getting my rear XRC bumper ( with the post for the tire carrier ) that had some of the powder coating chipping off for $75 when normally run $599. I spent more money on a brand new tire carrier for it then the bumper itself. All kinds of deals on craigslist too, just widen your search if you're willing to drive.
