Since my Olympic smuggler isn't coming anytime soon I decided to cancel the order.
I am now going to order the Fab Fours lifestyle winch front bumper w/o grille hoop.
Is it worth $1,300. As that is the price I was quoted (including shipping).

 

chances are you got the olympic first because you liked it. I say stick w/ it and try to go for it again

 

I would say 1300 is alot for a front bumper

 

I do like the design of the smuggler and I really like the storage in the end caps but no one really responded to may last post which had a few questions about the bumper that I'd like to know.

 

That's too much for me. But, then again I'm not into full width bumpers. Just not my thing.

 

Ok, so the Fab Fours, it looks real nice but $1300?!?!?!? Way too much for a front bumper. Not sure what your needs are specifically, but look into some sort of stubby with a winch mount. IMO, stubbies are the best look on a lifted JK. Check out LoD, OR-Fab, Shrockworks, Hanson...if I had it to do over again, I would've gone with Hanson. Hanson also has a mid-width which looks great. you can buy a cheaper bumper and spend that money on more important mods.

 

I looked at shrockworks, looks like great quality at a better price than fab fours. Going to get the mid-width. only downside was a 2 1/2 month wait time for them to build it.

 

Fab Fours gear is sweet but that is a lot of loot! you can get AEV for that... or IMO ARB

 

I'm saving my $$ for the River Raider bumpers... I can get both for not much more than what you want to pay for just the front...

 

Considering you can do the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar winch bumper through Northridge for $799 shipped, yeah, $1,300 for any bumper is crazy money IMO.
