pamike Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 found this on ebay. what does everyone think about it? i don't really need a bumper thats extremely heavy duty. i just want somthing i can pull people out with, or get pulled out. and the price is good to. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-01-XJ ... 3a6392dcc1
jimoshel Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I really don't know what bumpers sell for or are worth as I always build my own. It looks to be a nice unit and worth the money.
87Warrior Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Seems like it needs more frame tie-in. That thing is just using the stock bumper mounts. Plus, its ugly (opinion of course) You could go with something like this if you want a winch plate and tow hook for just a little bit more: http://detoursusa.com/xjbackbone.php
pamike Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 well i was acctually looking at this. http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index. ... ucts_id=90 because i'm probably not going to be getting a winch anytime soon. then i ran accross the ebay bumper. i know it's not the best looking but i was interested in it because it has the tow points i want and the price is good.
pamike Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 or how about this one? same company http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-Che ... ccessories
Garvin Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Are you looking for new or just something that works with tow points? If it doesn't have to be brand new, look on craigslist. I see bumpers from home made ones to ARB bumpers for $500 and less that are in great condition (not sure how far you are from central Jersey but I've seen a lot for sale on the PA side of the river also).

IMO anyway.. Backbone Warn Trans4ormer
tazer15 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I'm having a guy on cherokee forum build mine looks like the 2nd pic you posted but alot cheaper check him out over there in the for sale section.Then ill start buiulding them after that one not that I'm going to copy but I'm not set up in my shop yet.
87Warrior Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 The WARN Trans4mer is by far the best looking "grill guard" style set up for our trucks, if you ask me. I've never been a big fan of 'grill guards' but the Warn unit looks good :thumbsup: The C4x4 tow hooks sound like they would meet your requirements without much up front cash. There are a ton a high quality front bumpers out there. You just need to establish a budget and figure out what you want out of a bumper up front.
mvusse Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 First one is butt ugly and doesn't tie into the frame enough. Also the winch mount looks weak. Second one looks a bit better and definitely stronger.
Incommando Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I have done busines with the owner f Detours a couple of times and would not hesitate to do so again. Any one else notice that hey have sliders for an MJ on their "custom fab" page? :brows:
