Front Bumper upgrade

JeepJunky33 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:26 am

So I am looking to replace my front bumper w/westin brushguard to something.....how do you say.....useful. I did see a bumper from SC Rockstar that is easily the coolest bumper I have ever seen but they dont seem to make it anymore. Whats out there thats useful and awesome.

NO I DONT WANT AN ARB. Though useful, they are (in my opinion only) Ugly as sin.

Help me out everyone...

Well, I hate to be all negitive, but you are almost stinky poo out of luck.

Currently your choices are:

1. Rock Lizard Fab- Only problem here is it may take more than a miracle to get one (But stranger things have happened)

2. TJM bumper- Again, only problem here is it WILL take more than a miracle to get one since all new stock in the states are gone and to my knowledge, the the last few left in Australia were bought up by a TJM dealership for KK conversions.

3.Build your own/pay a fab shop to make one

It's out, but he didn't get a lot of orders because of the times. Best I can tell you is give him a call and see if you can get him to make you one...

I believe someone on the forum has created a write-up on a backbone type bumper mount that would accept a TJ bumper. This looks to be another less expensive option.

ARB is only for the serious enthusiast so I understand your apprehension.

Plus if I did not have the ARB bumper I would not be able to work under the hood as it is my ledge I can kneel on,yeah I'm not that tall and my KJ is taller then most.

Make your own, I did and so did many others. If you can't fab a bumper yourself then find some one local that can. Cruise the fabrication section or the bumper thread some where, you will find plenty of ideas.

Boy, that thing is ugly :jester:

... you would have to be huffin paint or something to have one of those..... :goink:

To the OP, sounds lke ou need someone local to make you one. If you do some searching on
the site, you may find one that tickles your fancy and see if someone local can copy it for ya.

WOW this thread is where the saying "opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink." this guy is looking for another option other than the ARB cause they are ugly. I have another opinion and that's that anyone who is a TRUE ENTHUSIEST would have something that no one else does.
