I am looking on getting a new front and rear bumpers for my Jeep but wanted to get ones that do not weigh too much. I bought the Smittybilt XRC M.O.D. front bumper and XRC rear bumper for my last Jeep and it added so much weight that my Jeep would barely accelerate (oh yeah....add the winch to that too).

I'm thinking of getting the Olympic 562 Series Rescue Bumper or Expedition One DX for the front as I read these are light weight. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The LoD Armor Lite Mid-width front bumper is only in the 35lb range. That's one of the main reasons that I'm getting it.

GenRight makes some nice ALU front/rear bumpers.

Thanks. I would either get a stubby or a ful width that aligns with the front bumper like the Warn Elite. But most likely a stubby.

Thanks. They look nice. One thing I want, is the sockets for the fog lights.

LoD also has the Armor Lite Shorty with fog light holes that is less than 35lbs.

Apparently Smittybilt will be releasing their XRC front and rear bumpers in aluminum, saw vids on YouTube from when they were showcasing new products at SEMA 2012.

LOD has some great bumpers. My Mid width was only 62 pounds and its made of 3/16 steel. It was a pain to cut to get my winch clutch release slot cut out. On mine they notched the passenger side of the bumper out which is the wrong side for my RECON 10500 Clutch release.

Thanks....might have to wait for those to come out. Hopefully they have it in black

I'm getting a custom aluminum front bumper made to my specs from Relentless Fabrication. They are doing it with the stock fogs, winch and light bar. Taking it in next week.
