    Replacing stock bumper and looking for a good winch bumper that won’t take weeks to be made once ordered. Thanks in advance.

    US Offroad makes a great product, and they were able to ship out to me within 12 hours since they had a few already powdercoated and on hand. Fits an m8000 and some cube lights just perfect. I've pulled a few unlimited trucks out with it and never questioned its ability.

    Lol . Well I guess I should have worded it differently. I was in a fender bender the stock bumper is toast . I’m not really looking for cheap junk or something that’s incorporated into the stock bumper. I need a new full bumper/something not cheap but rather something that won’t take months to get . Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

    Second this. I've had their hidden winch mount with a Superwinch 12.5 SR on my 2012 for several years, plenty of big pulls, no issues. If you're like me and like the look of the stock 2nd gen front end but still want the functionality (and shackle mounts!) of a winch I highly recommend it.

    Edit: Just saw you want a full bumper for protection. PELFREYBILT! LOLOL Oh wait you actually want to receive your product. Uh. No suggestions here.

    If you need something to ship NOW, the eBay and Amazon stuff is usually the only ones available for quick shipping. All the quality fabbed bumpers are always a few months out, unless you get lucky on some sale or something

    Since your bumper is wrecked... I have an aftermarket fog light setup waiting to go into my bumper, but I have a base model which doesn't have the little bracket the fogs bolt onto. Any chance you'd be interested in parting those out and selling them to me?

    A few additions to make me feel cool.

    Fab Fours are normally in stock.

    Ah, that makes a bit of difference.

    ARB makes a good one that is usually drop shipped pretty quick. Low Range Offroad has been good to work with on ARB/OME orders, and Brycen and the gang will take care of you.

    @At The Helm Fab makes good stuff, and I don't think their lead time is that long, but I haven't looked in a while.

    Demello and Mobtown also make good stuff, but Mobtown is moving so they are probably a solid lead time right now.

    I 2nd the EBay bumper it gets a bad rep but honestly for the money it’s a great bargin peice. I’ve used my winch a few times never had any issues only with the AC line. As long as you notch the bumper before hand you’ll be good to go an be ready to man handle the lower half of the bumper to fit.

    I have Iron Cross front and rear bumpers. Not as heavy as the Fab Fours, so they do not squat your suspension as much. A Chevy backed into the front bumper at some serious speed, and poked a hole in his bumper. A Ford rammed the back bumper, and his bumper was hanging from his truck. My bumper has a couple of scuff marks on the paint.

    I also hit deer, with no damage.

    Iron Cross bumpers are a stock offering for anyone who carries them (they are well stocked by the major warehouse distributors.)

    Get the pushbar bumper, it is about $80 more, and looks good.

    (ICI Magnum is another good bumper)
