Bumper Talk - What looks good?

[Shimmy]

the WH bumper may be another one to consider

Hansen also makes a nice bumper and I think they still sell them already powder coated.

The two vertical pieces on either side of the winch pass through, are they part of the bumper or welded on after? I haven’t seen a “stock” bumper that looks like this..

Those are called bumperettes, they bolt on to the factory bumper.
And I also think the stock with the winch pass through looks awesome. I recently went from a prerunner style back to stock on mine and I'm digging the look.

i really like the hanson bumpers but their customer service reviews scare me away

I really liked the look of my Logan's bumper but when I narrowed my front end I made my own bumper instead of cutting down the Logan's.

there's something to say about building your own too, the satisfaction..

I've used this front tube bumper for the past 20 years after learning the hard way that the original bumper is about as strong as chilled butter.

Just bought a double tube for the rear with tire and cooler carrier from HardKnoxFab that is similar in style (FWIW front bumper is in upper right corner of pic). Very happy with the look and design.

I like the impact bumpers, except for the ends. Too vertical and doesn't flow. Cut the tips off and put a little angle into them, then there is a winner.

that sounds like the hanson bumper

Made my own. Pretty big but wanted to hold the winch. Plus I like the larger mass of them.

anyone know who builds the bumpers for Toms and Jeffs? they both seem to use the same tire carrier latch (5th and 6th pic). I've searched and searched but cant find anthing like it for sale. Figured their manufacturer may sell just the latch.

Liking this one. Anyone know who makes it?? The cutout on the middle front looks like CHF or OHF But can’t quite make it out.

I agree, that is a good looking bumper.

Are you looking for a swing out carrier latch?

WFO, and ruffstuff have them

I almost went this route when I was shopping. Its actually a modern Jeep bumper modified to mount to our frame. I talked to the owner and it didn't take much to modify it. I think the width was perfect too. I had called 4 Wheel Parts and they said they could get the bumper in raw steel too

Its an OR Fab bumper: https://orfab.com/collections/bumpers/products/jeep-cherokee-xj-front-hd-bumper-with-hoop

Edit: I just found this post from 2015 from RDice who said this about mounting it:

"I have one mounted up. For the top we simply drilled holes, then squared with a file for the stock bumper bolts in the stock location. For the bottom we made a bracket from 3/8 plate, bolted the bracket to frame, then bolted the bumper to the bracket"

Personally I love the look of a narrowed stocker.

^^ This. ^^

I bought one from Toms that looks exactly like it. Great look and holds a hidden winch.

Excellent, would never thought it was intended for a j**p. Looks natural fit on a Bronco. Many thanks.

Yessir, very close indeed. The OR Fab j**p bumper looks a tad more narrow.
