Bumper poll 2

[Jeepney18]

I put a poll about a bumper and 43% said it's ugly, 52% said find something else.

Here's a new poll for a different bumper.

What's good or bad about it?

Buy what you like. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

Get what you like. No one else is driving it, personalization is about exactly that, personalization. You have probably noticed, there are a lot of bumpers out there, and more coming. You have your own budget, others have their budget. Now, if you have concerns about quality, you can ask people what they think about Brand X. Or if you have functional concerns, you can ask about pluses/minuses of stubby/mid/full size bumpers. If you honestly don't know if you like the bumper or not, hold off until something you know you like comes along.

Voted yes. Because I think YOU like it, and that's enough to make me like it. Point of customization is to make it something you like, not something for the masses. Stock is for the masses, by definition.

I guess the better question is, I don't really know what to look for in a bumper but this one looks nice to me.

I was on the fence about the other one but ended up not going for it because of the results, which I'm glad I got the results of the poll. I don't want to put something on there that looks bad, so feedback helps. I know eventually it's what I want to put there but it helps to get other opinions. Appreciate it, thanks!

I'm a huge fan of the Artec stinger bumper myself.

I think with bumpers...front or rear...you get what you pay for. Spend the extra cash if you can and get something that's good quality. Personally, I'm a fan of Addictive Desert Designs and I have their Stealth bumper on the front and rear of my JLUR. I also like Poison Spyder as well.

I voted no, because I like when the winch is mounted lower in the bumper.

@Jeepney18 … Like you, I wasn't sure what to look for in a bumper. I ordered the plastic all around since I knew I'd replace it with aftermarket pieces of steel. I scoured all the bumper topics looking at other rigs until I found what I thought looked good and had what I wanted. I knew I wanted full-width with a bull bar, I wanted to be able to mount fog lights, I wanted to hang a couple of nipple rings, I had no immediate plans to install a winch, and I wanted something that looked sharp. I settled on the LoD Destroyer based on a recommendation from @MALL R8D . I liked the way the stubby looked on hers. Sure, there were others that offered what I wanted. I did some homework, read good things about @lodoffroad , compared it to a few others, and gave them my credit card info. But @ads75 and @BlackRook pretty much nailed it. You have to like it and it's all about personalization. The more you ask what people think, the more undecided you'll become & you'll get bumper vertigo. Then you'll start doing the same for the rear bumper.

What I think you'd be better off doing is deciding on a few and comb the forum for what people have to say about the manufacturer, quality, packaging, shipping, etc. There are a few to avoid... and I'm pretty sure you'll come across them. That helped narrow things down for me. Start with a budget, and may The Force be with you.

In this thread, I listed why I went with the LoD up front.

I laughed out loud at nipple rings.

I laughed out loud at nipple rings.

It's a very fitting description.

 

[MALL R8D]

It's a very fitting description.

Now that is what I will think of every time I see them.

Ends are to squared off looking.
