If you're looking to buy, post in the classifieds, WTB or keep an eye on the for sale listings. This is for tech topics, thanks.

check with local small fab shops about building them. ive found them to be relatively inexpensive and you get exactly what you want.

I love the idea of a local fabricator - full custom, no shipping costs, etc. But... make sure they've built bumpers before. A lot of this stuff, i.e. sliders, roof racks, etc. is pretty straightforward. Bumpers are different. Do some image searches here and using Google - the backside of the bumpers is where the hard part of the design is - the mounting, recovery points, accommodating winches... It gets complicated quickly.

The less experienced builders seem to just keep adding steel to make the bumpers strong and they often end up looking like plows to accommodate a winch. The guys who've figured out how to keep approach angles good, strength up, and weight down, have a lot (!) of R&D into these things.
