I'm looking at buying a new front bumper and I like the GenRight because its light and looks pretty cool. I watched a video on another site and they interviewed the Owner of GenRight and he said the bumper weighs about 29 pounds... I wish it came in black though...



Fits the 2 door and 4 door Jeep JK.
Compact design fits tight to the frame and wraps around each side.
Works with Antirock type sway bars (or the factory sway bar).
8 bolt mounting fits tight up against the frame for maximum approach angle.
Formed from lightweight 3/16" thick Aluminum alloy.
Includes two steel tow points (D-ring shackles are extra REC-2100)).
Low stinger bar is to protect the winch and grille.
Winch mount "tray" is sunken down into bumper for better air flow to the radiator

Just paint it black! 29 lbs is really light and it would provide almost no protection, just IMO.

I also question how it would hold up in an auto accident.

I just installed front and rear bumpers and tire carrier all aluminum. Love em. Pain in the as to install but love em. Not going to paint them.

Interesting. I assumed someone might be doing this. I was wondering what kind of bumpers were out there that may be lighter weight.

I haven't planned on doing anything to them at all. If they oxide it will either give them some character or i will use a scrub pad on them. But a co worker just offered free powder coating for everything so Im not sure what i will do. The silver looks good on my jeep.

The front bumpers wasn't so bad but the rear is hard to get everything lined up and the rear tire carrier is real bitch. Lots of drilling cutting and the directions suck.
