Ultimate J Truck Front Bumper

[Artisan]

Gents, other than what is on BJs Offroad, if you could have any front bumper made, what Bumper would you want?
I am NOT discounting Bumpers on BJs, I am looking for alternatives if there are any. I am in So Calif

TIA!

I made mine out of a 4"x4" square tube that used to be a U-Haul trailer tounge and some 1/4" plate...freakin unstoppable, just got to paint it (but ive been sayin that for months...)
I also modded my factory brush gaurd to fit...

I'm liking the concept of hanging an "unstoppable" up there for sure.
Time is what it is as well so if I find a decent unit for a fair price I might jump on it. I appreciate the replies. I am going to go look up the Hanson unit to knaw on.

Wow, I really like that. Are you producing them? Price?

BJ's did, it's the same one on the Bargain Beater Cherokee.

[Bill Moore]

BJ's did, it's the same one on the Bargain Beater Cherokee.appears "did" is the operative word

[mattmopar440]

Man I buy one of those if the price was reasonable the only problem I see with it is I bet the lights would get trashed

__I am in some discussions, only, regarding FSJ's w/ Reunel Co. There Bumpers are the Crem De' La Crem of bumpers. "Substancial (http://www.reunel.com/products.html)" would be describing there products lightly. I have invited them to this list, time will tell.

__They are in Maxwell California (http://www.reunel.com/products.html). Is anyone here close to them?

Bump.........................

yea i found that pic off of BJ's customer rides, i looked at their cliffhanger bumpers and theyve changed them up since this one,

Nothing like a long piece of 6x2 5/16" channel and a couple of 1/4 pieces of diamond plate fashioned into what I call this the Colorado Deer Killer.......:p :D

good god!!!!:eek: i think it would be worse than hitting a brick wall:banghead:

[Chris Langdon]

they built mine and its very similar to the old BJ's model. At one time they were going to have Kn Mtn contract build, however, i am would guess as with me "Confidence was lost as a result of lead times and other issues. Too bad. I really like mine but i am with Bill Moore and others. The old BJ's looks awesome

OOOOOOHHHHHH, I to love this one. Only thing I would change would be slightly larger dia tube. I can see my warn M12000 settin in there ready to go!!

[suzq044]

Wow, I really like that. Are you producing them? Price?

No - but anybody is welcome to build one and sell them, as long as I get a free one or parts-price. :thumbsup:

I don't have a place to produce these things, much less the skill level involved. I'm just good ad designing stuff.

[COLOFIREMAN]

good god!!!!:eek: i think it would be worse than hitting a brick wall:banghead:


I want to build something like the top part of BJ's to protect the the hood.....just in case the little bugger jumps up....:drivin: :D

[Snowbird_Hunter]

Man if you put this together with that Aussie cow catcher thing, you would have something to rival a Sherman tank .... :eek: :thumbsup:

This is the one from the actual tv show.

[JeepsAndGuns]

Man I love that bumper. I would love to have some clear day time pics of it. I would like to see it from the backside too (though I figure you dont have any pics of that) I would be intrested in seeing how its made and how it hooks to the frame. And closeups of the winch mount from the top and bottom. lol...cause it looks like the only way I could get one, is to build one.

[sappy76]

Here's a couple of picts from my build.

J10Mike modified the top to better match the angle of front sheet metal. I had to extend the mounting bracket by 1 bolt hole to get it sit out far enough so the winch would clear without cutting into the radiator support. Also, the mounting holes for the winch were slightly off.

You have done well grasshopper. I'm very happy that my old Cliffhanger bumper not only lives on. But, lives on bolted to a fantastic Cherokee build.
Here is a link to my Cliffhanger install page: http://www.j10mike.com/cliffhanger.htm

I'm sure I also have some more pics of the backside of the bumper as well prior to install.

[seventynine]

Here is one that is pretty nice I think. Someone had posted this rig up here at somepoint....not sure who's it is but it is nice! I saved the pic with intention of building something like it.
