Steel bumpers

[some_guy]

I do not need an aggressive high clearance off road bumper. I want something more substantial. Here is my list. What do you guys have installed, what do you like and why? And any other suggestions I should look at?

1, ADD, 2 Rihno, the rest nah. One man’s option.

I plan to keep my stock steel bumper and save $2K., but that's me. Another man's opinion.

Rhino or ADD

ADD all day everyday.

I accidentally slipped the ADD one in there. I dont like that it has exposed the exposed frame tubes.

If your thinking about the ADD you should watch my install videos that exposes all of their fails. I will be ordering a bare Bodyguard for the rear in a couple weeks and have it finished myself after mods.

I accidentally added the ADD bumper to my list, it exposes the frame, including the bumper tube extensions, which i do not like at all. I do not like the ADD bumper

Rhino is a shit company. Look in the vendor's forum about my experience with them. I would not take one of their bumpers for free.

I am personally partial to Rival's, I think it looks really good.

Stock is the lightest, but I'd second rivals probably being the best quality and great looking.

Anyone know how heavy the rival is (no winch)? On plus is being aluminum, if you scrap it up, no corrosion, a big plus for offroading.

On page 2 of rivals post they said its 100lbs with the winch mount plate. No winch.

I cant find the weight of the stock bumper. Online it says 70 but that sounds a bit high

 

[Lion77]

70 is what I thought. So the Rival if I left out the winch mount would be darn close to stock....very tempted, although I actually do like the stock bumper asthetically, just wish it had a tad better clearance.

I like the look of the rival too. Almost more of an OEM + look vs some of the full steel bumpers. And 20-30lbs over stock really isnt bad. Im guessing thats without the light bar though so with light bar but without the winch plate your probably at about 100. I like that the rival fog lights are plug and play too. And you can wire the light bar into an aux switch at the front pretty easily from what ive seen

I forget who posted this one. It was in another thread and i saved the picture and cant find what thread its in. Really like how it looks. Would look really nice with the corners painted shelter green i think.
