Have you had the chance to total the weight for each bumper? I have a feeling that those bad boys are heavy.
You know me Rhett, I've tracked and accumulated all types of detailed and/or quantified information throughout this process. Thanks for asking, as its a good question that I'm sure multiple people are curious about. Obviously, no matter what, switching from OEM plastic to steel is gonna add weight
, so here's the low-down....
MtnLuvr's Heavy Duty KK Off-Road Front Winch Bumper:114 lbs for Heavy Duty Off-Road Front Winch Bumper, including all tow hooks, brackets, fasteners and hardware
- 36 lbs for OEM front bumper (less lower air dam strip removed long ago), including both OEM front tow hooks
78 lbs approximate net weight change (bumper only)
Optional Heavy Duty Radiator and Power Steering Skid Plate another 28 lbs (versus OEM radiator skid at 10 lbs)
Optional Grille Guard from 11 lbs (Stinger-Style) to 15 lbs (for Full-Width Brush Guard style).
So, as seen on my KK with my radiator skid plate and brush guard, I net added about 115 lbs (including powder coating allowance of 4 lbs) to the front of my KK before installation of my winch. Winches can add another 65 to 90 lbs depending upon the winch size, manufacturer, synthetic or steel rope, etc.
MtnLuvr's Heavy Duty KK Off-Road Basic Rear Bumper:152 lbs for Heavy Duty Off-Road Basic Rear, including brackets, D-Ring shackle tabs, rear tow receiver, Jeep scuff plate, tow plug, fasteners and hardware
- 14 lbs for OEM rear bumper assembly
- 36 lbs for OEM bumper tow hitch assembly
102 lbs approximate net weight change
So, I net added about 108 lbs (including powder coating allowance of 6 lbs) to the rear of my KK due to my Heavy Duty Off-Road Rear Bumper.
MtnLuvr's Heavy Duty KK Rock Rail Sliders:So, I net added about 18 lbs to the middle of my KK due to my Heavy Duty Rock Rail Sliders.
