    Hey All,

    I came across this picture, which to me looks similar to a TJ Wrangler bumper but slightly different. Can anyone ID this bumper? Wondering if it is custom because I cannot find anything on it. I was looking at a rock defense rear but like this one A LOT better. Appreciate the help!

    @TacoMoose beat me to it. Quick google search looks like they stopped producing a decade ago.

    If you like that style, check out warfab as it’s pretty similar.

    Yep, BU was one of the early fabricators for 1st gens. Known best for plate style and sliders. Can't say I remember that tuber.

    Trivia, they once said "An IFS Taco couldn't do Rubicon).

    Sorry, my comment was directed at taco moose since he has a third gen. For you, check out trail gear.

    Find someone with a tube bender and knows how to use it.

    Anyone that knows how to properly use one will easily bend all of that for ya.

    Make some notches at the ends, weld it up, and you've got most of your bumper built.

    Making mounts for the frame will be easy too as it's just a plate on each side of the frame held by a few bolts.

    I would if I had a tube bender.

    But between you and me, you have more tools, a larger shop, and more experience :burp:

    Ahh, you're the type to stack welds.

    I prefer the 'stitch' method.
