Silly noobs and their questions - Yet another bumper question

[Desertman]

I want to get a front bumper but the local police are issuing out fines and black points for anyone with a steel bumper. I was thinking about an Aluminum or carbon fibre for here in the desert but the laws in Europe are even stricter when I eventually return with my jeep.

Crawler Conceptz... I am very impressed with the build quality.

Looking at doing a front bumper upgrade. Maybe I'm being picky?

I am wanting a steel bumper that mounts to the frame as it sits (no mods). Stinger, Lowered Winch mount, D-Rings, and Fogs. Mid to Stubby in size. Is there such a thing? I know Rugged Ridge makes the XHD Modular bumper, but from what I've seen on this community it doesn't seem to be a common brand for a bumper.

(Work seems to block majority of the Jeep pages... and I'm almost never on the computer at home).

• steel bumper - 1/4" THICK - CHECK :rock:
• mounts to the frame as it sits (no mods) - 100% BOLT ON (ZEON REQUIRES MINOR TRIMMING) - CHECK :rock:
• Stinger - CHECK :rock:
• Lowered Winch mount - CHECK :rock:
• D-Rings - 1" THICK - CHECK :rock:
• Fogs - http://www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-6065.htm
• Stubby in size - CHECK :rock:
• Is there such a thing - YES!

I'm right there with ya. I was dead set on Crawler Conceptz till I found out you have to cut.

Asking for a no mod to factory frame, factory fog lights, recessed winch mount, and tabs or d rings is like asking for the winning lotto numbers.

You do not have to cut or move anything with the Crawler Conceptz ultimate.

I'm surprised no one has said the evo 1/4 pounder.
It's steel, has a recessed winch mount, gotta be one of the best looking bumpers out there IMO, you can buy the d rings separate and also the stinger. And I don't believe you have to cut the frame, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Not my jeep I just got it off of google

Ah damn.
You could always buy a pair of rigid dually pods and mount them on the bumper[emoji23] that's what I did

People who want fogs either mount rigids or similar through the hi lift mounts up front or on top of the fair lead with brackets.

OP is looking for something other than steel.

Original OP was looking for steel, and OP you are referring to - EVO bumper is available in aluminum.

True. My bad.

Just came across this on Facebook, looks like that RR bumper held up pretty good.

I sure hope you guys don't drive with your duallies on public roads!

I run my Amber dually fogs during the day
The Amber doesn't bother anyone since they're down on my bumper and don't appear as bright. And I don't run my windshield mounted regular color dually spots during the day. They're too bright

Those photos, that is stuff I like to find out about a bumper. Right now it's a toss between RR and the Crawler Concepts. I don't care how "easy it is" to cut the crash bar or trim the frame. I DO NOT WANT TO CUT MY JEEP, unless I don't have a choice.

FYI, even with the RR XHD Modular, you still have to cut a little tiny flap off near the vacuum canister. IMO they're awesome looking & quality bumpers though.
