What other Rear Bumpers are out there

[Romer]

I think I will be getting an ARB for the front in the next few weeks. It will have to wait a while, but besides Slle, Hanna and Kaymar, what other rear bumpers are out there? Any link would be appreciated.

I like the side protection on Hanna's

Slee's Bumpers are also very nice.

I likes the Kaymar that Nakman has.

i would kill for one of the 4x4labs ones
i always told myself i would never cut the frame or mod my lx so far i couldnt go back to stock if i ever wanted to sell but i would gladly chop my rear fram rails for a 4x4lab one

I'm no expert but the 4x4lab I think was from man-a-fre and had to be "installed" by them.

They don't do it (install/sell) anymore, also IIRC the price was something like $2500

Call man-a-fre, I could be wrong thou.

4x4 labs have there own bumper, involving cutting the frame

might be thinking of the 4+ bumper that man-a-fre sells

here is Lukes bumper at 4x4 labs

go custom.... I am sure there are shops near there that could make what YOU want. i really like the way mine turned out. and i could by three of these bumpers for what you would pay for any production bumer.... its all in what you want. If you want the "look" of a 2500 dollar bumper get one.. but mine is just as functional as those and lighter. to each his own..

Iron Pig is another option:

Their bumpers seem very solid. Like all of the ones you mentioned, they would be the better part of 2K dollars with tire carrier+jack carrier+trailer hitch+Jerry can holder.

 

[Romer]

Thanks for the links. I had never heard of either of those. Keep em coming!

Kinda generic but no one has mentioned TJM. Its not a bad product and a lot lighter than the others mentioned.

 

[Romer]

Thanks, I did miss that one. Slee carries those as well

This is a link that I had come across. I have never seen one in person.

I heard that ARB will be coming out with a rear bumper w/ tire carrier this summer. I don't know what the latest news is on that though. I'm waiting to see what they come up with before I draw any conclusions on which one I'm going for.

If you do a search I believe pictures of the prototype are posted somewhere here in the archives.

NW-sickboy, got anymore pictures of your bumper to share? How much frame did you cut off? Is it bolted or welded on? Nice bumper, simple and functional.

 

[Romer]

I did a google and came up with this thread. Lots of pics and looks sweet!

Start saving now ... It's not gona' be cheap!

Romer, since I consider you a good friend, I would highly recommend you avoid these guys. The owner of that shop did a lot of work on my truck awhile ago (before he started this business) and just about everything he touched has been a troublespot including lousy welds.

The Foxfab mentioned above is a solid bumper. I know Mike Fox is on this board as foxfab.

Christo's is great. I've seen it and have wheeled with guys that have it.

4x4labs is of course great and I think mudrak was making some too, can't remember for sure though.

Don't forget this thread (which is listed in the FAQs ) https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=12729 - I've requested folks to go back in and update with their pics but few have.

If you weren't so far away I'd offer my custom one up for sale, but it's too far from CO to be of any deal for you.

for $2500 bucks you can get a nice welder some other tools needed and still have $ left over
