Rear offroad bumper ideas/opinions

i have a 1998 taco that im planning on armorin up, i have a set of stubbs wielding sliders, and an arb front bumper already on order, now its time to think about the rear. I really like the demello offroad bumpers but there a little too pricey for me. I like the allpro beacuse of the way it uses the factory tag lights and has a good looking liscense plate mount as well as points for 3/4in recorvery shackles like the demello does but it doesnt have a built in reciever for towing. Trail gear offers a decent lookin bumper that is considerably cheaper than the rest and has a recever but no tag light or liscense plate mounts as well as no points for recovery shackles. Right now i am leaning toward the allpro and buying the brackets they make that allows you to use your factory hitch. That is really gonna kinda put me over my budget but i want something that i will be happy with the first time, if anyone has any other ideas or opinions please feel free to share, thanks in advance

 

Have you looked into CBI?

 

ive looked a litte, not much cause i wasnt really all that font of the look of em, im kinda lookin for a wrap around style bumper

thanks, that standard double tube looks really good and it has shackle mounts and a tag mount but no reciever, wonder if u could user your factory hitch with that, and here in nc u have to have tag lights for sure i know, and i cant find there prices anywhere

 

They are made to order so I doubt adding a hitch will be a problem.
It looks like this one has a light over the plate

Give them a call tomorrow and ask about the light or pm them on here. They are in the vendors section.

Here are some prices but their site is under construction so call or pm to confirm.

Tigerfan has the hitch but I bet you could get it under the plate if you don't want to plate on the tailgate

I live kinda at the foot of the mountians in taylorsville, nc so it takes me bout little over an hour to get there, i love it up in boone and banner elk though, i love snow and cold weather, i bet its really nice right now in colorado

 

Thanks man those demello ones are sick, ive checked em out but there just outta my budgets, sadly enough

 

I just moved to Colorado. I lived in Johnson City TN for the last 8+ years, about 45min to sugar. I went to sugar most of any of the ski hills around that area.

 

yea, there a bunch more trails at sugar than any of the others, i bet the skiing is pretty sweet in colorado

 

best early season snow in years! up to 106" for the season at Breck.

 

I would love to live somewhere like that, this months issue of fourwheeler mag had and article wheree some jeep club went to silverton and there looked like some pretty cool trail and awsome senery, I think one of the trails was big bear pass or somethin like that

 

ato ato ato
