I ordered some new bumpers for my JK. Found a really nice design made by a guy in Canada and being sold for a really good price. Wasn't planning on buying until next year, but he's getting out of the business, so I pulled the trigger early.

Anyway... they came in today. Now I have to prep/paint them and install. I think I'm going to do a base coat of Rocker Guard "paint", then cover them with matte black.

Here are the bumpers installed on the builder's jeep.

V-Fib

Nice and beefy...

Still running the factory bumpers on my YJ.

Slow Guy

Look stout. Mounts for a wench?

I like them both, they're very stout. How much would it cost to have them powdercoated?

BTW, does he specialize in just Jeeps or have bumpers for other vehicles like FSB's?

I'm going to guess powder coating would run $150 - 200 or so. If my finish doesn't come out good enough, I'll have them sand blasted and coated. I'd prefer my own finish so I can touch up more easily when they get dinked up offroad.

yep. there are mounts for a winch on the front bumper. He forgot to include my winch plate so I could put the roller fairlead on, but it'll take me a bit to get them finished.

derek... VERY stout. All together the two bumpers is about 200 lbs I'd guess. Add the winch and they will be approaching 270 or so.

SeaCay

Black wrinkle finish powdercoat would be bad to da bone.

MUSSBERGER

Blast, POR15 and top coat

The bumpers I had on my cj didn't have as much flat area,but I primed them and did the roll-on bed liner material. It was durable and easy to touch up from light off road damage

Very clean design.

Thanks Andreas. It's one of the few designs I thought went well w/ the lines of the new Jeep.

My rear tire carrier is the first he made that opens w/ the tailgate. The model shown installed on the green Jeep above has a separate latch mechanism, so to get into the back of the Jeep you have to open the tire carrier, then the back door. I really wanted one integrated and he figured out a pretty slick design for it.

Rear is finished.. don't have the tire carrier done yet.

Baptizo

IHI.

If that happened, I'd have to refinish it for sure!

A serving wench?
