Aftermarket front/rear bumpers

[Hills]

Hello,

I have been looking for a front/rear bumper that has a spot for me to put two or more PIAA lights in it. Do any of you know of any manufacturers still making such a product? I did a Google search, but did not find a whole ton of options.

predator, ARB, there are a few more. real wheels, maybe?

 

[spillKill]

does anyone happen to have a nice little right up on all the bumpers?

ARB and Thorparts are the only two making front bumpers still. You can find BA bumpers online every now and then as well as though country front bumpers.

I have owned several ARB bumpers from Land Rover, Jeep, and now my H3 and their Deluxe Bull Bar Bumpers are excellent. Great quality, fit, and finish!

I have tough country bumpers on my H3

Just installed a DOI winch bumper purchased from Teaka Toys. Its a work of art. Same bumper used on the 2008 Alpha 4 wheeler trail hugger project. I love it..... No room for lights unless you install a grill guard. Just wanted you to know of other options out there. Way more than happy with it!!!!!!!

I have a DOI winch bumper and warn XD9000, with a Predator search and rescue brush guard. I have two PIAA 525's mounted on it. My rear bumper is a Thorparts, and I think he still makes those. He also has a front bumper. Check him out.

Sorry about the quality, but took these on my way to work. Will hopefully have an album of my build soon.... BTW it happened or I wouldn't have posted ....mainly send from my I phone... Tough to attach photos. Don't spend a lot of time in front of my I Mac. Better things to do!

THORparts trail-pak special! Front and Rear bumpers...$1500/pair delivered anywhere in the lower 48!

I've got an ARB on mine right now. I really like it. I have always been a fan of the full coverage "ranch" bumpers as opposed to just bolt on "brush guards".

Living near Wisconsin I wanted the extra protection from deer crossing the road.



The ARB run about $1200 depending where you get them from.

If you don't like the full bumper THOR parts are awesome. Great approach angles and top notch in quality.

 

[Best4x4]

How much is that Thorparts rear bumper?

 

[4speedfunk]

$499.00 plus shipping, ($84 to Vidor,TX)

 

[Chook]

I know the ARB ones are Airbag compatible (it is law that they are tested for that before they can be approved for use on the road here.)

 

[Best4x4]

Not bad at all! I love the ARB front bumper, but the rear ARB bumper doesn't do a good job of following the lines of the H3. That Thorparts bumper looks way better IMHO.

I myself went w/ Thorparts front bumper. I like the look, style and lighter weight. Honestly, I don't know the weight of the ARB and if I remember Thorparts is less then 100 lbs w/out winch. I also have the bullbar ( lightbar ) that can hold 2 lights. If you go to 4speeds' web site, you can see how it looks on different 3s. I think mine is on there too.
My sig. pic, does not show the bullbar. Still have to update that. Good luck and happy huntin

 

[Best4x4]

Not 100% sure but I think an ARB Bull Bar is anywhere between 90 to 100 pounds depending on the vehicle application. Then you have the weight of the winch, and cable added to it.

I have to say I did not like the thorparts front bumper because of the open view of the winch!!! BUTTTT I was thinking hmm if I had that with a warm zeon and bull bar with brush gaurd it would just look MEANNN.. Plus u can't beat the price.. Hmm I might be sold...

 

[Highatop]

FYI, The Zeon 8/S is tall w/ the control pack on top. The socket connection is also on the side. Warn says, you use 20% less power w/ the control pack left on top? But, it can be removed and placed somewhere else. I left mine on top and had to cut my grille to fit. The Thor bumper mount is alittle recessed, this is why I had to notch the grille. I also wanted to keep the control pack on top of the winch. I didn't mind cuttin the grille, the rig is mine and I'm not gettin rid of it.
I'm goin to try and post some pics w/ this and hope they come out. Also these older pics do not have the bullbar on them. I still havn't undated yet. It is on now and finishes my front end and look complete. All I need now would be lights, its on the list.

 

[TAPDH3T]

Ohh yeah that's it.. That's the soft core porn we like lol.. I deff want to see it with the bull bar.. Also how far does the mesh plate go back? I have dual fans in front of the grille and do t want it to interfere..
