What is the general consensus on the best reasonably light bumper for under 500 bucks, im kind of liking the smittybilt xrc armor style and i also like mid width bumpers but i cant spend a fortune and id like it to be 100 or less pounds. Factory fog provisions are a plus and id like to leave my vaccum pump alone if possible.
Thanks yall!

 

Also it needs a winch mount

 

I bought this one and like it for what it is.. Typical crappy Chinese powder coating and subpar weld's but that's all easily fixable.. Made in the same factory as the smittybilt bumpers.. Didn't need to touch the vac pump either. Just bolt and go, my X2o winch mounted perfect

That looks like what i want

 

I have that same front bumper from ebay. Has been on my rig for two years and no issues at all. I was skeptical when I ordered it but the price was right. I have a warn 9.5ti mounted to it and have used it many times without bending or weld issues on the bumper.

 

[QUOTE="2scartozzi;4048823"]I have that same front bumper from ebay. The newer design looks slightly different from mine but It is the same "brand". Has been on my rig for two years and no issues at all. I was skeptical when I ordered it but the price was right. I have a warn 9.5ti mounted to it and have used it many times without bending or weld issues on the bumper.[/Q

 

Use of factory fogs did not have to move vacuum pump and winch ready under $400.

 

ebay chinese knock off here as well.

I would switch out the hard ware and give it a good paint. When it gets warmer, I plan on por15/bedlining it. Have had mine for 2 years with no complaints other than the finish.

 

Crawler Conceptz Ultra Series. It's $529 but can work something out with them. Or get with Marcus at River City Offroad and he will hook you up.
