Also don't forget shipping!

I've bought three bumpers and the first one was direct from Ace so it was really cheap, until I saw the shipping bill!

The other two I got from Northridge, free shipping over $100

Wound up being cheaper than Ace or anyone else I got a quote from

Hey Goofiefoot,

This website will be updated after the first of the year ( OR-Fab | Off-Road Fabricators | HOME ). If you'd like to have an OR-Fab catalog, PM me and I'll have one emailed to you. If we have a bumper in the configuration you want, in 2014 we are coming out with a Zinc Rich Primered coating that will come with a 3 year warranty.

There's nothing like stepping back and looking at something you made!

Here is what I've got on mine. Rugged Ridge All Terrain Modular Front Bumper (07-14 Wrangler JK). Based on the success of their XHD Modular Bumper System (11541.02), Rugged Ridge brings you a more budget-conscious option of their strong and functional system. Rugged Ridge's All Terrain Modular Bumper System is made of tough, black powder-coated steel, and bears the same highly functional modular design. The All Terrain Modular Bumper can be customized for whatever your Wrangler needs, including the brand new All Terrain Double X Striker (11542.13,) & removable winch plate cover, both exclusive for this bumper. Of course, you can still add an optional Over Rider Hoop (11542.14) or Stubby Bumper Ends (11542.23) to complete the look. $299 plus free shipping!

I've been bouncing back and forth on bumpers for a while.

Had I been able to convince the CFO, I would have ordered ACE bumpers over black friday. But...

I'm still considering these, as well as some OR-Fab bumpers. The Rampage bumper looks OK, too.

I wish I could see these in person at least once.

My hypothetical advice, get a credit card with a decent limit, like $15k-$30k and 0 interest for 18 months

Then call up David at Northridge, hypothetically mention my name...

He will set you up with a pair of complete axle swaps, Dynatrac Pro rock d44 in front and d60 in rear, ARB's and gearing like 5:13, replace both bumpers us add a winch and rock rails

And hypothetically tell your wife you only paid like $5,000-$6,000 for all of it



Matthew

Also start hypothetically checking your friends couches out to see who has the most comfortable ones for sleeping on!

Poison Spyder Brawler Lite w/ brawler bar.. Slightly higher than $500, but well worth the cost.. Awesome bumper.. Had it on my '09 w/ the trail stinger.
