Front Bumper

I have an XJ and a TJ. I'd like examples and suggestions for what you all think are the coolest/best bumpers for each. front and rear.

Pink with white stripes. Oh, wait, you weren't talking about your Surrey, were you?

I have to say that the swing out tire carrier one peice rear bumper really rocks a good XJ.

Many of you know, that I built mine for about $300.
When you do replace the factory rear bumper on an XJ, make sure the bumper manufacture addresses the problem of connecting the bumper to the subframe mounts where the facory tow reciever bolts up. That is the only safe way to make an aftermarket bumper strong enough to become a recovery/pull point.

That's good advice! I really like the finished product of your rear bumper. Nicely done!

I've always liked how Bounty Hunter simply cut down his stock bumper. That won't work on an XJ but for a SWB Jeep I would go that route.
