Check e-bay or amazon. Can find that same bumper style sold by many distributors. Not very many, if any, on here run it as barricade or any other name. If your considering other options, I'm sure folks here will be happy to give opinions. :thumb:

I just haven't seen any pics of this bumper with a front skid. Hoping someone has come across it.

This bumper was sold to me under the Paramount Offroad brand name. http://paramount-automotive.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1038
I cant tell the difference from the Barricade ones. Even the rear bumpers look the same between the two brands.
I could not stand the blocker bar being exposed and my sway bar disco. just hanging out in space. So I fabbed this up. It is built out of 3/16 plate and has a full length rib inside just in front of the blocker bar.
It bolts on with 4 flat head bolts from the bumper and 2 bolts to the blocker bar. The 2 bolts that go into the blocker bar are welded inside under the skid so there is nothing hanging down to catch on.
Sorry the photos are so dark. The sun does not shine for like 9 months here.
Hope this helps.

are you sure you didn't see the bull bar with skid? it fits over the stock bumper, I saw one on a rig here and had to follow it to get a closer look. really takes away approach angle and the tubing seemed pretty thin walled for the size...big tubing but no substance.

This is great. Shoulda made two, so I could've bought one.

What are you trying to protect with a skid plate? Just curious..
The front underside of my bumper area. I don't know what it's all called but I read that it's good to protect the components down there.

I see you have a Rubicon, so just the motor and the crash bar? I'd flip the motor and cut the crash bar off to gain more clearance. But a skid works also. Good luck in your quest. :beer:
Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that!!
Barricade makes a skid plate. The Hanson skid plate will also fit the Barricade bumper.
