80 Series bumpers list in a spreadsheet (1 Viewer)

[MDarius]

I'm looking for an adequate, inexpensive bumper for my daughter's High School cruiser and I discovered in my multi-hour search that a lot-most-ok, all, the threads are out of date and it's tough to find current offerings outside the big 3. I compiled a google spreadsheet with the info that was important to me and thought it might be useful to others. I've made it so that anyone with the link can update it, so feel free to add columns for important features. I want the cheapest with protective hoops since my kids seem to damage the fenders and hood up high...and I'm not innocent myself.

I'm done with it, so feel free to add to it, correct it, etc. It might be cool to have another sheet for rear bumpers, sliders, whatever. If it violates any rules I'm unaware of I'll happily unshare it. Just let me know.

*EDIT*: With this being a publicly shared sheet, please keep any commentary objective and something the vendors wouldn't mind being seen. Dates are good for reference. Nobody likes to see old info and think it's new. I scrubbed my personal commentary out of the sheet. "Just the facts, ma'am."

*Note: To add pictures to a Google sheet, select the cell, then "Insert > Image > Image In Cell > By URL" from the menu. Right click on your picture and "Copy Image address" and paste it in the URL text box on the google sheet. Easy Peasy.

I'll update this sometimes because I like to, but really, it's like the kitchen at work. Learn to clean the freakin' microwave! Feel free to update the sheet with info you find.

Nicely done I’m on a bumper hunt myself.
Some contenders for me that you don’t have on the list are
-Dobinsons v1
-Dobinsons v2
-NWTI
But great work, very helpful. I’d love to see all the weights compared side by side, that’s one thing that has me leaning towards the bump-it-off-road tube bumper.

 

[MDarius]

I liked the bumpit offering, I just want more corner protection.

 

[newbtrayback]

In the market for one myself. Need full hoops for limb risers. Delta's is very nice but WOW on the spend....over $2K

 

[dcguillory]

Pretty good start here. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jayntguru]

This is good info, thank you.

I'm trying to figure out which one the PO put on my new rig. It doesn't look like any of these exactly (although it does look most like the lost industries one). Any ideas?

That's a 4x4 Labs bumper.

Added. I didn't find weights for several. Feel free to add them or correct them if you know them or find them.

Ahh, thank you. Does look exactly like that on closer inspection.

Your picture was better than anything on their site, so I linked to it in the spreadsheet. Hope you don't mind.

Awesome. If I find any more good info while I’m looking I’ll come back and add it.
If you end up with a pretty comprehensive list with specs, I think it could be added to the FAQ section up top. Damn good idea sir

I think the TJM T17 is a good option. I think they are 599 shipped to your door. Not bad for a metal bumper.

Not at all. Their pics were not that great.

Slee's shipping quote to Pennsylvania was over $200 for the TJM T17. I bought one from The Bumper Superstore with free shipping...I looked up a savings code online and saved some more. It was just over $600 shipped from CA.

 

[Railwelder93]

Bumpers are an obnoxious item to ship. Several hundred for shipping should be factored in to a budget when looking for a bumper, most of the time.

MDarius, very nice spread sheet, but you know you could use your need for a front bumper as an excuse to your wife to buy some tools. Like a mig welder, chop saw, and 5" hand grinder so you could build your own bumper. The nice thing about building your own bumper, you'll get the exact bumper you want, plus you'll have all these tools left over for furture projects. That in my book would be a win, win situation.

Ssshhhhssshhhh! You're not supposed to post Man-cave secrets on public forums! Next you're going to say something about our inept efforts at loading the dishwasher!

I would love to learn to weld! Life just isn't quite there yet. [Opens new tab: www.harborfreight.com - Welders...]

I'm not sure if where you live is the same, but most community college's around here offer welding classes. They offer not only day classes, but night classes too for those who have to work for a living, and the cost to attend is very reasonable too.

Maybe I should check this out.... learning to weld is on my list.
