Front BUmper

Looking for lower cost front Liberty bumper I have 2007, I seen one around that has nice front and rear steal bumpers, they maybe home made, seen guy on ebay that sells a weld it yourself kit, but shipping kills the deal.

I don't want a big narly ARB, there nice, but Just something not so big and crazy. Also seen one place making nice rear one with swing away rear tire carrier, my bro has a sweet one on his xTerra, but seems like some companies didn't make it through covid down swing.

Just ordered a KK front bumper!

ATH makes quality stuff. I have his front recovery system behind my stock bumper, and his roof rack. Sadly both have been discontinued but glad he is still making winch bumpers for us.

Well, time will tell!

I love yours! So I called and talked to him and he said it will take two months. If he's going to setup and make one, maybe someone else on this forum might want to pull the trigger too?

I used to dream about getting both the front and rear steel bumpers from ATH back before the rear was discontinued. It always came down to cost for us, and life seemed to happen just when we possibly had the ability to pull the trigger and the funding was needed elsewhere. Same issue with regearing. Still running the stock 3.73’s but hope to go to 4.10 or 4.56 at some point. Glad you were able to put in an order!!

Howard,

It may look funny, but since rear bumpers are not as critical as front, I purchased below a hitch swing tire carrier. I added a Hi-lift jack mount to the unit. Looking to tire up at a 32" high tire. Will know more when the lift kit gets installed. Next is saving up for a winch.

Well I canceled the above after I stumbled on this site for a really cool bumper.

I like the Blue one, unfortunately, just when life seemed great, paying bills, getting mortgage and student loans paid off and working on my jeep and my Avy with my brother, low and behold my bother goes to hospital on a Monday and passed away on the following Saturday from a rare cancer endocrine carcinoma, small cell fast spreading.
Right after his celebration of life, a week later I go to my work, 20+ years, and I got laid off due to restructuring. So had to go through the holidays with the loss of my brother, and no job. Bother would been 57 like 2 weeks before he passed, we had just been working on stuff with the jeep doors, etc. I was never a welder or a body person, and he was more artistic and did that stuff for me , now I am at a stand still, pulling unemployment trying to find a job at 55. Can't believe how fast things change. Private Equity is killing American manufacturing, we were profitable, no reason to cut jobs again in 2024, other than squeezing a few marginal profit points, across the board and life's and careers are ruined. Luckily I seen this latest PE company screwing us, and been saving money so ill be fine for a while just no funds to spend on my toys, hopefully I can keep them and don't have to sell stuff off...
