Default Decent Front bumpers???

I looked at Nates4x4 and JCRoffroad front bumpers with the brushguards and loved them. Anyone else know of any other brand front bumpers besides the ARB bull bar. Im only looking to spend around $300 or less on the bumper.

thanks guys

I have a rear bumper & rocker gaurds from Custom 4x4 Fabrication out of Tulsa, OK. I am very happy with them and have seen good reviews as well. I am also considering them for the FB as well. I need pick out a winch first and save up so I can get both. They responded quickly to inquiry and delivered on time.

Didn't know they had a shop in Tulsa..I know they are here in the OKC area...I am going to have them do my bumpers front and rear. Also have them install them.. I just have to relocate the vacuum bottle and horns and such first before I can do it. Oh and have the cash..Will have em do both at the same time and install them for me...Yes I am that lazy..

Try protofab as well. They make a great looking bumper, not too sure about the price. Another to look into is Hanson bumpers.

Theres a front bumper kit on the market, forget who's selling it though. It's a kit with precut pieces that you weld together and looked like a very decent bumper at a good price. If you have the skills or a bud who could weld it up it may be a good option.

Maybe someone knows the kit i'm referring to?

Surfing the Forums you may find a good deal on something used as well?

i really wouldnt go with nates 4x4 they arent to good at what they do. i just bought a rear bumper from them and the tabs they welded on are cocked so that means the whole bumper is off. its off by like an inch on one side. GO WITH JCR
