Thanks for the pics guys! I hadn't really thought about going for that look (was considering AEV, Warn and one other I can't remember), but you sure can't beat the price.

i found them on www.4wd.com along with other parts. I am just trying to find some good stuff and not pay a grand for a bumper

Exactly, I REALLY like the AEV bumper and REALLY, REALLY like the Fab Fours bumper, but if I spend that much, I might as well start recruiting for a new wife

Smittybilt should rename their SRC series the Wife-Keeper Series.

I decided to go with the Smittybilt because I realized just how much I need a winch NOW. And with the low SRC price, I can get both now, or at least soon. Still looking forward to my Shrockrails, though. No skimpin' on those.

looks like i will be going with an LOD front bumper and Smitty built back bumper and tire carier...cant beat that price anywhere. maybe LOD will match it

WOL..is that your jeep or just a photo you found... in the archives..?
if it is yours, how do you like it? For those that have seen it, is it stout.? ?
LOD vs Smitty built, who would win haha

I had a smittlybilt on my YJ and it was fine. It had a grayish powdercoat that seems to hold up better than the black gloss that usually rust out quickly.

Looking at things more closely, this rear bumper...



is no where close to being the same bumper as this (as found on 4WD.com)...



or this...



So far as I could tell, the bumper shown in the first pic didn't even have provisions for a swing out tire carrier. Also, so far as I know, no price has been released for it so I'm not exactly sure how anyone can compare it to anything else at this time. Or, did I miss something here?

Naw, that's Smittybilt's JK. We just took pics of it
