    Default Inexpensive bumpers

    I am looking for the cheapest winch bumper that will fit a 2000 uzj100 that will inproove my approach angle and take a few hits without needing replacing. I would weld one up but I think it would look like s***. If someone has seen a custom welded bumper on a uzj100 that didn't look like it belonged in the garbage I might give it a shot.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Like most things - you get what you pay for. While some bumpers (esp rear) are INSANELY overpriced, most are well made and can stand the test of time. ARB has always been the go to bumper for me, however the last two I have had suffered from thin powder coating and LOTS of chips in a relatively short time frame.
    Chance favors the prepared mind.

    All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing. EH

    I echo what was said above about getting what you pay for. I skimped and got a cheap bumper initially for my Disco. I was very unhappy with it and ended up springing for a more expensive (well built) one later. If you are looking for a less expensive option Id be on the lookout for a used bumper. Easy way to save a couple hundred $
