Default Bumper questions

I have looked at many places and wanted to know where is the best place to find a rear bumper that is not factory. I ripped my rear bumper cover off and now my lights are mounted to the bumper frame as a temporary solution. Also probably going with another front bumper as well since my factory bumper cover isn't looking like it is going to make it much further off road. Any ideas for an inexpensive front winch bumper and rear bumper. I have a brand new warn winch but need a bumper now. I know, I put the cart before the horse.

go to google images and type in d2 bumper look at them and see what you like.
you can spend 500 on brit part, 700 on TF or well over 1k on arb, all depend on what you NEED.

Anyone have an opinion on a bumpers they like to run? I am buying both so I would like to spend no more than $1500 for both front and back if that is possible. I really don't want to cut my grille because I am taking it all off if I ever sell it.

Thank you all for your help.

Talk to the guys at Lucky8. They can give you a few options and work within your budget.

You are most likely looking at britpart bumpers for that budget once you add shipping. Maybe you can get a platinum front bumper and britpart rear. Like Ralph said, lucky8 would be the best at finding something in your price range.

I looked for and ARB form 99 for like 2months and was able to score one off some weird off-road site for $849 with free shipping. But, I haven't seen that deal since.

I probably woulda gotten the platinum from lucky8 for my 04, but I wanted fog lights. Insurance was covering the bill so I went RTE but between the initial cost and shipping even buying during one of their sales I was in the $1600 range just about.

I second the guys at Lucky8, Justin got me rear for $500 or so shipped and the front was $600 shipped. I am running a TJM front and a BritPart rear, no issues with either and I was able tin install myself in less than 2 hours combined.

Do you run a winch and if so did you have to trim the grille?

I'm going to have a custom bumper made, but I'm not sure on cost yet. Might be something to look into.

I wish we had the same stuff they do in the UK. I've found a ton of bumpers over there but few here. I just wish the ARB wasn't so damn expensive.

@steb4680- I am not running a winch nor does my bumper allow it, that may explain how I was able to source so cheaply.
