    i was looking to buy the bajabumpers front bumper... but after seeing the n fab prerunner bar i might save myself 200 or so and get it..
    does anyone know what the n fab prerunner bar mounts to? Is it solid?

    I think it looks pretty sweet, and the approach angle looks good.

    Sorry, but I don't like these "bumpers". They expose too much of the front of the truck that is supposed to be covered up to me. If you could smooth out the parts of the fenders, etc. and blend them better into the body I think it would look a lot better. But, it's your truck and you do with it what you like!

    Its looks tough and all but that price is way too expensive!!!
    these companys that charge 600+for bumpers rockworks, arb, cbi off road, 4X innovations.. to name a few) are quality built bumpers that look great ,but come on... lower the Fucking prices!!!!
    Luckily baja bumpers is a perfect fit for the look and functionality im going for and shipping was included all for 500.00 no tax

    shrockworks has a BAD reputation for lieing to customers, long wait time, shipping wrong orders etc. they have been dubbed WRONGworks on some forums, lol IMHO they do look good, but Im not sending them tons of monry in hopes, they will send me a bumper 6 months later

    yeah i like the ARB look better...the baja bumper just doesnt seem to cover enough.

    but the ARB is almost twice as much, and the baja doesnt look bad, so just go baja i guess.

    None...yet.
    If you live in the baja then it seems fitting...anywhere else I would want a little "beefier" protection. I would tear the hell outta that bumper up in the mountains here. BUT ITS YOUR TRUCK!!! Do what YOU want with it.

    yea Shrock is very poud of their work, good lookin bumper though.

    I love the look of the bumper but Im kinda worried about the mounting locations. It doesn't actually mount to the 'normal' mounting spots at the end of the frame like most bumpers but instead mounts like a brush guard to the tow hook locations and then back to the two front body mounts. It seems like any kind of impact to the bumper would cause it to be pushed back into the body possibly snapping the body mount bolts causing more damage than the stock bumper would in the same situation. Maybe its one of those things that you just need to see it in person to understand. Or wait until somebody gets into a front end collision with one of these bumpers. :rolleyes:
