Well guys, I have been looking online for a rear bumper. They are priced anywhere between $200 and $1,000.
So I am asking you for your help. The Posse is great for finding great deals on great hardware, so....Where should I look for the best deals?
What I am looking for:
Choice 1: Rear bumper with a 2" receiver and or shackle mounts (for recovery).
Choice 2: Rear bumper with a 2” receiver and or shackle mounts and a swing away tire mount.

Offline Any other accessories you think you might want? Fuel/water can carriers? Trail Rack? Bumper Dumper?

Fuel and Water can carrier would be good, and a high lift carrier. No bumper dumper...

Offline A couple brands to consider would be Hanson and RockHard which is the same design as the defunct Jeeperman ( http://www.rockhard4x4parts.co.....umper.html ). Some online shops I've done business with are Redrock4x4 ( http://www.redrock4x4.com/shop/categori ... 7_174.html ) and Northridge4x4 ( http://www.northridge4x4.com/p.....php?cat=16 ).
Also check out Quadratec.com to see a pretty good variety, but shop around if you see something you like. Don't forget 4wd.com and your club discount too.

Offline Another vote for the Hanson bumper. Very functional, good looking, durable, no-rattle, and expensive...okay, except for that last one, you can't beat it.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

I ran one of the LOD rear bumpers for a while until I got my Hansen set up. I sold it to Don and it's on his LJ. Great bumper but, I really wanted a Hansen.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I think I am going to have one custom made frow WFO. About the same price as everyone else, but the money is going to a local business.

The $200 and $1,000 are pretty much the same price, it just depends on what you want, and what extras you wish to get.
So to answer your question.... the $200 place.... 😛

also, does this pricing sound right to you?

Offline The front bumper went on a lot easier then the rear. Everything lined up for the most part. For this style of bumper it really doesn't stick out very far, especially compared to the pre-runner bumper I had on the EB. There is just enough room to put a winch between the front grill and the tube without having to cut the grill out like some bumpers. I figured it would get me by for a few years until I could get something better looking(plate bumper) or something custom made. If I keep it in good shape I bet I could get close to half my money back on it when the time comes.
The only drawback would be how high the winch mounts. I would prefer it to be down close to the front cross member. I have that tall power plant winch so it blocks my whole front grill / radiator and it actually sticks above the hood. Though on 2 trips to the snow and running around town the 4runner doesn't get any warmer than before I installed the winch.
The prices you have shown are what I paid for the front bumper. I paid $50 less for the rear, but I bought it on one of the sales they had last year.

howdy. what do you think of the all pro bumpers? the front is a bit ugly but it looks like it fits closer to the frame? i dont know. the rear looks cheapy but is about the same price. +/-

I looked at the front bumpers from all-pro, but what I didn't care for was that you wouldn't be able to run a winch with internal solenoids without cutting the grill. I knew I was going to be running that style winch and didn't feel like cutting, so my decision was made.
I measured my bumper the other day when I was out in the garage and from the grill to the front of the bumper is 9/12 inches, so that can give you an idea on how far it protrudes.
