So I have a problem. I’m always finding solutions for problems that don’t exist. Or at least aren’t really problems to begin with. Now I’m looking at weight. This started a couple of days ago, looking at aluminum bumpers and fenders, wondering how the raw finish would look with my black 2 door. Which is still an option. Also, I’m tired of painting.
Currently, I have the Pritchett Canyon front and rear bumpers
I like the tube look but no spare cutout means spare tire relocation. Math says I’ve added 160 and 210 pounds front and rear respectively.
I’m looking at the Cavfab rear bumper fascia
15 pounds and I could go back to the stock tire carrier so I’d save at least 45-70 pounds depending on how I mount the spare.
For the front, I’m leaning towards the plain winch mount with d rings. Warm comes to mind
and it’s a lot cheaper than the Nemesis winch plate
It covers the frame for a more finished look but it costs as much as a full bumper. Warn is 1/4” and nemesis is 3/16. With d ring mounts and a crash universal bar skid, I’d save about 28 pounds.
A bare bones front winch bumper and rear bumper with great departure angle and I could lower the spare, making my rear window a little more useful. Either way, I’ll be taking off my current bumpers to clean up some of the surgery I’ve had to do and get them powder coated.
Just looking to get opinions. Thanks for looking.
