What direction are you leaning after this, if any?

I see a lot of people singing high praise about that bumper, looks like a good choice! All of this input has been super helpful. I think I'm currently looking at aluminum, but we will see if that changes before I press pay. The way I see it, is if I go aluminum and find out it's pointless...

I think if I end up going aluminum for the bumper and am happy with it, I would strive for aluminum in all that I could. Genright really has my eye.... Which from your build thread it seems you have the non high clearance? I like that there is no cutting involved with that one. Does is cover...

I would argue the same. Different comparison though that I am personally looking at: Nextventure Featherweight is 42lbs (including winch plate) and 1200 duckets...or around 90-105 for the steels Im seeing from 630 - 800 bucks. Is half the weight worth it to you? Half makes it sound more...

Thank you for that. I constantly see the strength argument for steel, and never looked at it like you mentioned above. Everything you say makes sense to me. My FIL is a Jeep guy, and one thing said to me was to take my time with my modding so that I can get the quality items I want, even if it...

Especially out here near the salt water, might be worth it. And no kidding...I think I'm into a bumper from the front just to see the side view and it sticks out like Pinocchio's nose. As for the cutting, so far when I see that, I immediately move onto another bumper. Thats what got me away...

Yea, thats a good point. I will have enough to make sure my ride doesnt get totally wrecked when doing some light crawling in PA, nothing crazy. Clearance is the main attraction for me...and some good looks too lol

I appreciate it. Some of the stuff I read makes it seem a lot more impactful.

I'm not seeing both types for the bumpers I'm interested in...One is only steel, and one is only aluminum. Genright for example...I'm looking at their bumpers and they are coming in at ~1299 bucks whereas a cavfab with a skid is 629.99, or motobilt is 768.00. Even a PoisonSpyder is 769.00...

Hey all, just like the title is asking, is it worth spending an extra 600 bucks on an aluminum front bumper just to save 50-70 lbs? A few things: - I'm going factory plastic to steel or aluminum, so its gonna be heavier no matter what - I am NOT gonna have all sorts of bed racks, fridges...

Nice looking ride! Im about to make a decision on bumpers, and Im into the two genright stubbies. The high clearance looks great here...what are you doing for the front skid?

Did you ever get this installed? If so, could you drop a picture please?

A new player enters the game; The Genright Stubby. Everything I keep reading sings high praise about Aluminum bumpers, and my bumper dilemma has brought it down to either the Cavfab, or this: Lighter, no rusting...just not as strong as steel. This can be remedied my a rash guard though, so...

I sure do! My wife gets a kick out of it too, since her dad was a Jeep guy while she was growing up, says it's real nostalgic for her.

I just went through the build process. They told me straight up, I dont have to buy it when it comes in...the order fee at the beginning is to keep you invested in following through though, so you might be out whatever you paid for that (500 bucks or so Im guessing, if it was like my exp). So if...

I'm not opposed to it, but I built mine with a plastic one fully expecting to switch it out. Also expensive compared to a lot of others, but I wouldnt exclude one from the running if it came at a lower price. Mostly though, if im buying one anyway, I'd like something a little more unique...

So the first thing I am focusing on, keeping the one thing at a time mentality intact, is the front bumper. There are so many options out there, I have been pouring over all sorts of manufacturers...MetalCloak, Ace, JCR, Poison Spyder, Warn, and the list goes on and on. I wanted 3 things; A...

Thanks! I felt very fortunate...the dealer told me it could take 2 weeks, or 12, so Im glad it was on the faster end. The group I'm in with right now are big into the heavy rock crawling, but just tame enough to keep their rigs street legal. I'm all about going over some rocks, but I see me...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the Jeep world, and just recently made the jump into Jeep ownership. I have a number of friends that have been trying to get me into it for almost 3 years now, and although I have always loved Jeeps, wanted to drive my old Subaru until it died. Well...that was the idea...

Youre right, and I have been pouring over it! But not too many black Gladiators, and even fewer with non-black wheels. There's so many options, it's nuts!
