Dobinson front bumper (13 Viewers)

[Hendlerj]

There are at least two on this thread who went with Dobinson bumpers. Are you still happy with the decision? I need full animal protection and am thinking of going with the Dobinson.

When I priced recently, the Dobinsons was way more than $1300. If I recall the Seattle off-road shop quoted me $1900. No longer the bargain bumper. But still good looking!

When I think Dobinsons I usually check ExitOffRoad 1st. Not sure what year you have but they show a 2012+ version for $1575

Happy here, have had mine on six years now and no issues.

Did you end up relocating your front facing camera after install?

Are you running stock skid plates? Any issues with tie-in to those?

I did not. The bumper does limit the lower view some, but overall I can see enough where it's fine for me at least. I do not run the hoops though so the side views may be blocked somewhat with the fixed hoop ones.

Mine is not stock but I cannot imagine it would be to much of an issue. It just bolts to the lower radiator support and there is plenty of clearance.

Appreciate the details. I plan on upgrading skid plates but wanted to verify.
