Default What metal bumper looks "most stock"?

In Disco shopping I'm finding lots of cracked bumpers.

What options are there for metal ones that are not an offroaders wet dream?

For the rear, Trek Outfitters makes a bumper that's close to stock.

Trek Outfitters - DS II Rear Bumper

For the front, Urban Offroad (Derek Chase) made a nice bumper but don't know if he's still making them. You can try contacting him on his eBay store for more info.

The rear bumper that AB sells for 440.00 looks very close to stock minus the Shackle mounts, and the hi-lift jacking slots. It has the same shape basically and the OEM lights mount to it. That Trek Outfitters bumper looks nice, but it's not worth 1,100.00.

Front bumper wise I love the low profile look of the TerraFirma Winch Bumper. It's not just a PNP install with some minor tweaking, but once installed it's compliments the D2 very well.

Once I get the oil light issue solved on my new project 04 D2, I plan on adding new bumpers front & rear, a lift, and new tires. If I have the $$$ I'll probably go with another TerraFirma front winch bumper.

Not sure if the Lucky8 winch bumper is the TF one or not, but it's really plain looking. It's what I plan on getting after I get my cooling system fixed and new tires.

These are by far the cleanest and most "factory" looking bumpers I've seen.

Had I not built my own, this would have definitely been my second choice

That's not a bad price (even with the exchange rate), but I don't want to know what shipping will run.

For real!

I should have mentioned that I have no intention of running a winch...so winchless and stock looking.

I figure a replacement painted oem bumper will be $1000+ so looking at alternatives

I haven't heard back from Paddock yet, but First Four (the manufacturer) has US currency conversion and shipping rates online.

All in, shipped to California, $718.77

Not Bad!
