Default Front Bumper

Does anyone know where I can find a NON winch front bumper? Looking for very simple, 2 tow points. Everywhere I look seems to be winch bumpers here winch bumpers there. Or am i better off building one on my own? (I do have access to welder, torch, grinders, pipe bender, basically any tool I would need) but no plans or idea where to start. Any help is appriciated!

They're out there, you just have to look at little harder...

HLC Fab

...I seem to think ARB also made a D2 front non-winch bumper.

Denny at HLC Fab can make most anything you want. AlLong with the pics on the web page, there are more on the companies Facebook page.

If you see something you like, he can make it with or without winch mount, and many different types of bars above the bumper to give you the protect and the look that you want.

On the west coast there's Tactical Rovers. They can make a non-winch version.

Okay let me restate the question, a non winch bumper that doesn't cost 1/2 what I paid for my disco haha. Looking in the price range of 700 or less.

Gather up your tools, source the materials, and get to work. You'll soon gain an appreciation for fabrication work and be able to justify the cost of some of these bumpers.

Your gonna get what you pay for. Just saying

Those less expensive ones come along when somebody upgrades and you can get one on a forum or on craigslist, maybe Ebay, but you need to make sure you see if before you commit to buy it

Some them I can understand the cost of with all the additional features, but I'm looking for just a basic HD bumper. Nothing fancy. You can find them for jeeps around $200-$300. I would even be happy finding a non painted one and paint it myself haha

Default front bumper

I bought this jeep bumper for $250.00 shipped. Just welded the corners and did somer minor chopping to make it fit. Yes it has a winch mount but it's very hidden under the grill.
